My Substitute CEO Bride

This statement shocked everyone present. They all looked at Nash with great

excitement.

Lillia asked loudly, "Is it true, Mr. Calcraft?!"

Although the group always prioritized their mission, they still cared deeply about news of their companions.

Nash nodded. "That Helio kid severed his own arm to pull himself and the woman back to reality."

Hearing this, everyone became concerned about the safety of the two.

"Severed his arm?! Helio?! How is he now? And Dahlia, is she injured?!" Lillia shook Nash.

Mallory and Avery quickly pulled Lillia back. "Lili, calm down!"

That was when Lillia finally let go of Nash.

Nash continued, "Don't worry, neither of them is in life-threatening danger. I've already performed emergency procedures on the boy. They're both safe now."

Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.noveldrama

"That's wonderful."

"It's a cause for celebration," Sterling said. He then continued, "Now, Lili, tell us about your findings."

Lillia nodded. "Alright. Since I went in early, I was able to interact with the department heads and those above them. Let me put it this way, except for the low-level employees, basically everyone is part of the Illuminion, or rather, they're all martial artists disguised as ordinary people.

"I could clearly sense it when I encountered them. There are even people at the Legendary Realm level, also known as the Profound Oriental Realm."

"It's no wonder our actions were exposed so quickly, and the spies were eliminated so quietly. These guys seem to be old foxes," Sterling analyzed.

Lillia nodded. "The entire company is actually a screening process for the lower- level employees."

"Screening?" Everyone listened to Lillia's words in confusion.

Lillia explained, "You've noticed recently, right? The company's employees are basically replaced every few days, and those who stay are the ones who can adapt to the cafeteria food, which means they're ordinary people who can adapt to godly power!"

Hearing this, everyone understood what was happening. They were screening for

people who could adapt to godly power, but why?

"What's their purpose in doing this?" Avery asked.

Lillia shook her head. "I don't know."

At this point, Sterling stood up.

"I think I know the reason, including why Puelo wasn't killed outright."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Sterling's explanation.

Sterling then took out his phone. "Everyone, look at this."

They all leaned in, seeing only a black shadow on the screen. Mallory asked, puzzled, "Hmm? It's just an ordinary photo, isn't it?"

Sterling shook his head, then flipped to the next photo, showing a stairwell from above. Then, he said "These two photos are of the same location from different angles, but the first one turned out like this!"

He then showed the next photo, displaying a non-existent elevator floor number,

-1.

Everyone now understood the general idea.

Sterling continued, "When I was

chasing the watchers before this, they jumped down the stairs. I've been investigating that area out of curiosity. Finally, in a very inconspicuous wall, I discovered a passage to the -1 floor.

"At the same time, I found that there's something on the -1 floor."

"What exactly is it?" Avery asked.

Sterling shook his head.

"I couldn't enter because it requires fingerprints, and there's a barrier inside. But judging from the aura coming from inside, it might be a human-modified by godly power!"
