My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1997

"Alright, let’s have our next participant."

The general shouted out loud, "Wait! We haven't decided the winner yet."

Zaafea bared his teeth and smirked. "Damn, why are you… Ah, forget it. Old man, I’m leaving. You handle it."

"Yes, please go ahead."

He then returned to the viewing platform.

Everyone looked nervously at the arena.

The old priest walked up to the general.

In less than a second, there was not even a speck left of the general.

"No. 10, this, this..." Jake, No. 9, shouted in panic in the Illuminion's viewing platform.

"Don't panic. The general can be resurrected again. Just..." No. 10 looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

The general did not resurrect. There was nothing left of him. Logically speaking, the general should have recovered by now, but...

"Now that this has happened, do we…?" Jake asked.

"No, this old man is here. We can't make too big a fuss now. Damn it, damn it! He could have survived. Isn't that old guy neutral? He just attacked!" No. 10 was utterly displeased.

"No. 10, calm down. It’s not like we have no escape route now. After Ace and the others succeed, we'll turn it on directly. Calm down," Jake said.

No. 10 nodded. "Alright."
