My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1666

Martin saw Nash and Lana disappear into thin air and continued to throw dozens of punches in the air.

Lana nestled into Nash's arms, and he gently patted Lana's back. "What are you afraid of? You have your abilities to protect you. He can't kill you."

"I killed someone!" she choked out the words. The image of her piercing Jaskier's heart lingered in her mind. She had never even killed a chicken before and today, she had taken a life. She was unable to accept the fact for a moment.

Nash felt guilty. This feud was between him and the Kleins. It had nothing to do with Lana. He should not have allowed her to kill Jaskier. "Sorry, I—"

"It's not your fault," Lana interrupted Nash. "Jaskier had set his sights on me a long time ago. If you died, I wouldn't have survived either. If we didn't kill them, they would've killed us."

At this, Nash was taken aback. This woman was quite aware of the situation.

"You… can let me go now," Lana said, and only then did Nash release his arms from around Lana.

"You probably don't know him. He's Martin Klein, Jay’s father. Two years ago, he reached stage nine of the great-grandmaster level, but due to flaws in his cultivation method, he has been stuck and unable to break through to the Profound Reality Realm.”

"Martin?" Nash's lips curled into a cold smile. "Looks like it's a fight to the death, then.”

Regardless of who he was, as long as he was from the Klein family, Nash would not let him off.

"Jaskier, wake up!!" Martin held Jaskier’s body that was gradually losing its warmth. Tears came streaming down his face. Jaskier was his fifth brother's son. His fifth brother had treated him the best out of everyone in the family.

Jaskier and Jay had grown up together, and the bond between them was far stronger than their other siblings, just like Martin's relationship with his fifth brother.
