My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

Theo discovered five major business families in Jonford, two of which were involved in the Young family village massacre. 

They only know about the Lanes now, and there was no way of identifying the other family. 

These were just the families in Jonford. 

The Young family had been around for thousands of years. Their roots ran deep, and their wealth was comparable to that of a country. There definitely were quite a number of experts among them as well. 

Thus, it would have taken significant effort to wipe out the entire Young family. Even the mighty Green Bamboo Association’s might would not have made a big difference. 

“One should be able to exchange remnants of the Young family for a generous reward with the Kleins.” 

Nutcracker Juggernaut licked his lips as murderous intent flashed through his piercing eyes. 

“That depends on whether you’re able to manage that or not.’ 

Clenching the dagger tightly, Nash moved forward in one stride, and the solid wood floor shattered under the thick true energy. 

A gust of wind swept by, and Howard was blown away upside down as he was not a cultivator 

at all. 

Giant Juggernaut and Unibrow Juggernaut struck out at the same time. 

However, the moment they reached their hands out, their palms fell to the ground. They held their wrists and looked at Nash in disbelief. 

What kind of abnormal speed was this? 

Nutcracker Juggernaut raised his leg and kicked Nash’s dagger away before throwing a punch. 

Nash turned his body sideways, and Nutcracker’s fist shot through the air before lodging itself in the wall, leaving a hole the size of a bowl in the concrete. 

Had this punch found its aim, even a stage nine great-grandmaster would have died on the 

spot. 

Even though stage nine great-grandmaster was only one step away from the Profound Reality Realm, the step was like an insurmountable gap. Their power would increase drastically once they were able to cross it. 

For example, both Giant Juggernaut and Unibrow Juggernaut who had their hands cut off by Nash just now were stage nine great-grandmasters. In Nash’s eyes, however, they were no different from ants. 

After dodging the blow, Nutcracker Juggernaut instantly swung his palm toward Nash’s face again. 

A simple slap like that had caused a sonic explosion. 

Nash quickly retreated before kicking out his leg from the side. Nutcracker Juggernaut reacted 

very quickly, however, as he lifted his own leg to meet Nash’s. 

At the impact caused by the immense force, both sides had to take a few steps back. 

“You’re actually in the later stage of the Profound Reality Realm,” Nutcracker Juggernaut commented, his expression dark. 

Nash threw out the dagger in his hands. It turned into a flash of blood-red light as it shot through the air to pierce Nutcracker Juggernaut in the heart. 

Nutcracker Juggernaut filled his hands with true energy and then closed them around the dagger. 

In the next moment, Nash was already up to speed as he grabbed the dagger with his right hand while clawing at Nutcracker Juggernaut’s throat with his left. 

Nutcracker Juggernaut pushed with both hands and leaned back to avoid Nash’s eagle talons. 

Nash immediately changed the trajectory of his attack. He flipped the eagle talons and dug them toward Nutcracker’s eyes. 

Nutcracker Juggernaut’s feet were no longer planted on the ground as his body flipped 360 degrees in the air, dodging Nash’s attack again. At the same time, a majestic burst of true energy erupted from Nutcracker Juggernaut’s body. 

A faint, white light enveloped his body. He looked like a hungry tiger about to prey on its meal when he stood back up straight. 

The speed at which he moved even left after images. It took him only one second to reach 

Nash. 

His eyes were scarlet as he grabbed Nash’s neck with one hand. He then curled his other hand into a fist and shot it toward his face heavily. 

Nash circulated his true energy and distributed it all over his face. Still, the punch sent him flying. The mask on his face shattered as he flew upside down before slamming into the wall. 

Blood flowed from Nash’s mouth. His lip was split.
