My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2301

With a swift punch, Chuck was sent flying.

"Using your true energy to conceal yourself? That's just a desperate trick. You're merely draining your own life force. Enough of this; I'll end you now!"

Vizimir charged forward with explosive speed, his iron fist aimed directly at Chuck's face. The sheer force of his punch tore through the energy and shattered Chuck's disguise.

Suddenly, a stick appeared and lifted Chuck, narrowly saving him from certain death. Someone had intervened. Vizimir turned to see a man standing before him—a shirtless man in his 30s with a muscular build. His face was covered in stubble, and he had a scar running across his left eye. The man looked fierce and intimidating as he retracted the stick and pushed Chuck aside.

"Kid, get out of here!" the man urged.

Chuck quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you! We'll meet again if fate allows!"

Without wasting any time, Chuck fled at full speed, knowing that in his current state, he was no match for anyone here. He needed to recover and train before he could return.

Vizimir watched Chuck leave with incredible frustration. "You bastard! You must have a death wish!"

The muscular man scoffed. "I can't stand cowards like you who only pick on the weak. Kid, allow me, Mr. Zas, to teach you a lesson!"

The two men stood facing each other, and Vizimir quickly realized that the man before him was not someone to be taken lightly. The surge of true energy emanating from his opponent was on par with his own, indicating they were of similar strength.

Vizimir immediately lost the desire to fight since he would never engage in a battle he might lose.

"Are you from the Stick Gang?" he asked cautiously.

The muscular man chuckled. "So, you do recognize me. Yes, I'm from the Stick Gang. Remember the name—Francel Zas!"

With that, Francel swung his stick, forcing Vizimir to dodge quickly. The moment the stick hit the ground, it kicked up a cloud of dust and left a deep crack in the earth.
