My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 

A stage seven grandmaster and a stage three grandmaster were not in the same league at all. Finn had only used about 80% of his inner energy. A faint ripple enveloped his fist, and Carson did not dare block 

it at all. 

He moved quickly, creating a distance of about ten meters between 

them. 

Finn’s ‘punch created a fierce shockwave that pushed several of Black Tiger’s henchmen back, leaving them terrified and fearful. The pressure from the punch had even sent them retreating. If that punch had connected with their heads, the consequences would have been 

disastrous. 

Black Tiger now realized Finn was an expert among experts. 

“Mr. Black, let’s keep our distance!” Several of Black Tiger’s men 

escorted him as they retreated. 

In a battle between experts, ordinary people like them had no 

business getting close. Black Tiger moved back to his Bentley, wiping 

the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. 

It was unclear if it was because the sun seemed particularly intense that day or if it was because of the excessive tension in the air. 

After missing his strike, Finn sprinted and almost instantly appeared in front of Carson. The speed of a stage seven grandmaster was fast enough that his figure had only been an afterimage. 

Carson had no time to react at all and was struck in the chest. He 

was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. 

Finn knew Nash and the others were watching him. 

He wanted to leave a suave impression for Yasmin. Just as he was 

about to slip his hands into his pockets, a sudden sense of danger 

overwhelmed him. 

Without warning, Carson, who was on the ground, flicked his sleeves 

and shot out two sleeve darts. 

The sleeve darts came flying as Finn immediately dodged them. One 

of the darts grazed his face. It was a close call! Another second later 

and the dart might have struck his eye. Finn touched his tingling face, 

his 

eyes narrowing. “Are the darts poisoned?” he asked. 

Carson rose from the ground slowly, his smile sinister. “You’re 

correct. This is a poison passed down through my family. Even a 

Mystique Loyalty Realm expert won’t survive more than three days!” 

Finn’s expression began to stiffen at the statement, and his vision 

became blurry. He could not see anything, but he could still hear the 

sounds of fighting around him. 

Carson pulled out a gleaming dagger from his waist and lunged at 

Finn.. 

“Finn!” Ken noticed the situation on Finn’s side and raised his right 

hand to catch the falling cleaver in front of him. 

Sparks flew, and the man with the cleaver stood frozen. Ken applied slight pressure to his right hand and broke the cleaver in two. Hel 

grabbed the broken blade and thrust it toward the man’s heart. 

When the tip of the blade was just one centimeter away from the 

man’s heart, he remembered Nash’s instruction about not causing 

casualties.
