My Substitute CEO Bride

"You? You killed them?" Nash asked in disbelief, but Fogort said nothing.

"Fate... can't be changed..." Fogort murmured softly. Then, he pretended to be angry as he looked at Nash.

"Come on! I must become the human emperor! No one will stop me! Nash, you're my final obstacle! Come! Let our battle begin! This will be the final battle!"

...

Back when Dusky revealed to everyone their parents' past, Wrendell and Tamsine, who both usually wore friendly faces, looked gloomy. They found out that they were each the child of the person who killed their father. Neither could stay calm at the revelation.

Tamsine glared at Wrendell with rage and roared, "I want your life in return!"

Wrendell, however, remained somewhat calm as he replied, "Wait. This might be a trap."

"You think he's lying?! As if!" Ignoring everything, Tamsine swung the Ghost King Sword in her hand, destroying the surrounding ruins completely. Wrendell had no choice but to dodge continuously.

The ruins were further destroyed. Wrendell had no choice but to dodge continuously.

Both Reese and Fogort, who were in the tower, immediately sensed something was wrong after hearing the commotion and rushed toward the direction of the noise.

Almost simultaneously, they arrived at the scene of Wrendell and Tamsine's intense battle.

Reese and Fogort hurried forward to try to separate the two. In the next moment, however, Wrendell activated the Light Reflector Mirror. In a frenzy, he channeled all his strength into the mirror.

"Why?! It was clearly your father's fault! Why are you trying to get revenge on me?!"

Completely consumed by rage at this point, Tansime shouted back, "Enough talk! Today, only one of us will walk away alive!"

Both of them unleashed their true energy, burning their life force. It seemed they intended to decide the fight with a single decisive blow.

Just then, Reese used his neutralization ability to suppress Wrendell's power. "Wrendell, calm down!"

Yet Wrendell fiercely resisted Reese's interference this time. "Get out of my way! This has everything to do with you as well! After I deal with her, you're next!"

A strange, uncontrollable anger surged through Reese. "What did you just say?! You bastard, what did you say?! Who do you think saved you? How dare you speak to me like that?!"

Reese shouted as he punched Wrendell, sending him flying.

The tension between the three was palpable, as if a violent clash could erupt at any moment. At that moment, Fogort stepped forward.

"Three of you, I'll give you one minute," he said calmly. "Cool down first." As he spoke, a talisman appeared in his hand, dissolving and reappearing again and again.

"As I thought, this ruin is affecting your emotions," he observed. "Please, everyone. Calm down, alright?"

Though the three wanted to regain control over themselves after hearing what he said, the weapons within them continued to agitate their emotions, stirring their fury relentlessly. Gradually, they fell under the ruin's influence again.

Reese charged toward Wrendell, who used the Light Reflector Mirror and summoned countless ghosts.noveldrama

Brandishing the Ghost King Sword, Tamsine attacked Wrendell relentlessly as well.

Seeing the brutal intensity of the fight, Fogort realized it was no longer possible to talk them down. He had no choice but to implement his final plan.

Watching the fierce battle unfold before him, Fogort dropped to his knees in

despair. "As I feared, nothing can be changed," he muttered.

The scene before him mirrored a vision he had seen before, only the location was different.

Fogort knew then that nothing had actually changed.
