My Substitute CEO Bride

Watching Sidney walk toward Nash, Tamsine could no longer suppress the emotions inside her. She wanted to step forward and hug this sensible child, but Fogort held her back. He did not want her to move any closer.

Disheartened, Tamsine lowered her head, not daring to look at Sidney anymore. Fogort embraced her, and the two of them clung to each other, shedding tears that were mixed with pain and happiness.

Sidney arrived in front of Nash. "So, you're Mr. Calcraft," he said.noveldrama

"Yeah, let's go. I'll take you away," Nash replied.

Sidney nodded. Essentially, he was now a bundle of energy. Although he had absorbed the other four weapons, they had all been partially integrated with the Heaven-Shaking Tome. Nash could take all of Sidney's powers away now.

The little boy nodded obediently. Nash then began to absorb his true energy. Sidney turned to look at his parents. Fogort's eyes were filled with determination, which reassured him significantly.

Still, Sidney said to Fogort in a childlike voice, "Daddy, Mommy is a good person. Please don't let her be sad anymore."

There were not many embellishments in a child's world. Everything he saw and thought, he wanted to express plainly. He hoped his parents would be happy and not cry over his departure anymore.

After absorbing all of Sidney's powers, Nash mastered the six weapons and became the human emperor. However, he did not feel any significant change within himself. It was likely that the Heaven-Shaking Tome had integrated with the other weapons completely.

Just then, an old priest appeared before Nash. "I've obtained all Six Ritualistic Weapons and become your successor."

The old priest shook his head.

Nash frowned. "What do you mean?"

The old priest pointed to the area around Nash's kidneys where the Light Reflector Mirror was. It was then that Nash realized that the mirror had not been fully activated when he absorbed it. This meant that he was not yet the human emperor.

"What should I do?" Nash asked.

The old priest then produced a map from his hands. Nash took the map and opened it. Inside were four locations marked, each seemingly representing something significant. Just as Nash was about to ask more questions, the ruin began to collapse.

Everyone found themselves back outside the cave, with the event coming to a close. The five of them bade each other farewell on the spot. Wrendell returned to Abundance Mountain, while Reese chose to resume his path of asceticism.

Nash, of course, set off to search for the locations marked on the map.

...

On a sunny morning, Fogort was moving out of his rental apartment with bags in tow. Tamsine had been waiting downstairs in the car for quite some time.

"Hurry up, Aubrey! If we delay any longer, we won't make it!"

"I know, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Fogort quickly stuffed all the luggage into the car's trunk.

Tamsine would be the driver. Silence fell over them, and eventually, she spoke up, "So, where are you planning to go next?"

"Anywhere's fine. I've talked to my master from Goodspear Mountain. He supports my decision not to return."

"Anywhere?"

"Yeah, at least out of this city."
