My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2305

"Exactly," Charlotte confirmed.

"Where's your evidence?"

Charlotte produced a set of data. "Officially, martial artists are banned in the Land of Nion, but this is a record of the recent increase in the number of people becoming martial artists. Compared to the previous 20%, there's been a significant rise. Can you guess why?"

The group pondered for a moment but shook their heads in uncertainty. Just then, Nash entered the room. He had heard their conversation through a sound transmission and answered without missing a beat, "True energy has become normalized."

Charlotte clapped her hands, turning to Nash. "Exactly."

"Normalized?" The group was visibly shaken. The thought of true energy becoming integrated into everyday life, affecting households and even minor activities, was beyond alarming.

Charlotte continued, "I found some information. Take a look."

She then sent a video to everyone's phones. The video showed a ninja being killed. Charlotte zoomed in on the image and focused on the ninja's eyes. "See this? There's a trace of true energy in his eyes. It means he was being controlled by true energy."

She went on, "This alone isn't too surprising since it's a matter contained within the country. But what if I told you that the ones who captured the North and East Wardens are members of the Land of Nion's Illuminion?"

The dots immediately connected for Nash. "Yes, my father was indeed rescued from here. What are you getting at?"

Charlotte produced a medical report. "This is the East Warden's report. All his vital signs are far beyond levels considered normal, yet he's still considered alive.

"I discovered something in his body. Although it's well hidden, I found a trace of true energy identical to the one controlling those martial artists in the warden's body. You understand what this means, right?"
