My Substitute CEO Bride

The martial artists tried to intervene, but there were too many people to handle. They realized that these lower-level employees, empowered by godly power, could now match them in combat.

Simultaneously, numerous media outlets appeared at the entrance of BrightState

Tower.

The day before, Mica exposed BrightState Enterprises' many instances of malicious competition and revealed loan identity as part of the Ledjer family, causing waves of upheaval online and in reality.

The riot in the cafeteria and media blockade exacerbated the already chaotic situation in the building.

Meanwhile, Avery and Sterling had reached the basement. Sterling summoned his sentient blade to slash open the barrier.

The two took advantage of this to enter the basement.

Upon entering the room, they were utterly stunned.

In a transparent chamber before them, a dark shadow seemed to be sleeping. In

the center of the room was a crystal-like object resembling a heart, pulsating continuously.

Though they did not fully grasp the situation, their instincts told them that destroying the crystal-like object was key.

Sterling swung his blade down immediately.

As expected, numerous watchers appeared to block the strike.

Avery stopped holding back. He removed his shirt, revealing incredibly toned muscles. After biting his finger, a flame totem instantly surged across his body, covering him entirely. He then hurled lava out, instantly clearing countless watchers.

Sterling seized this opportunity and stepped on the watchers' bodies to deliver another slash.

This strike actually created a crack.

As Sterling prepared to strike again, the entire building began to shake.

The two knew that the real enemy had now appeared.

At 12:05 pm, BrightState Tower visibly trembled.

On the 80th floor, Puelo opened his eyes. Mallory and Lillia had rescued him after taking care of the guards.

However, Puelo could not speak at that moment. He simply pushed them, gesturing for them to leave.

The two did not understand his intention, but as they approached him again...

At 12:07 pm, an explosion occurred inside BrightState Tower. Simultaneously, the ground around Bright State Tower began to shake violently, accompanied by intense heat.

At 12:08 pm, the ground beneath BrightState Tower suddenly cracked. Countless tentacles wrapped in magma emerged from within, and reporters hurriedly fled the

scene.

Noticing the anomaly, loan headed toward the building's interior.

However, Nash stood in his way in the first-floor lobby.noveldrama

The leader of the Illuminion

appeared at that moment. He signaled toan to leave first, but Nash would not let that happen. He summoned the Shura Sky-Pier Spear to guard the building's entrance.

At 12:10 pm, Helio and Dahlia were on their way to the battlefield. Just as they were about to reach their destination, a warrior at the Legendary Realm appeared before them.

"Are you also from BrightState Enterprises?" Helio asked cautiously.

The figure removed his mask, revealing a face that shocked both of them.

The person blocking their path was none other than Patrick, whom they had believed to be dead!
