My Substitute CEO Bride

Zora was at a loss for words. The Bijou family had already annulled her binding relationship with Anox after he fled, but she had refused to accept anyone else from the Dune family. In her eyes, Anox might be the one person she could not bear to give up on.

Was this love? She was not sure. What she did know and what she had always known was that Anox did not reciprocate her feelings. Still, she could not let go, and it was the reason why she participated in this competition.

Anox could not say anything in response. He simply did not love her, and he would not lie to himself about it. Zora's hands slowly dropped to her sides.

"I see... Even now, you feel guilty... I understand now..."

"Zora... I..."

"Anox, defeat me!" Zora shouted, pulling out her fan once again. "If you defeat me, I'll forgive you! Come on!"

Left with no choice, Anox began gathering his true energy.noveldrama

"No! Not like that!" Zora yelled. "At the very least, let me witness it! Show me... the power of the legendary Seven-Color Dance Fan!"

"But..." Anox was confused. He knew that if he were to use the Mossery Duet Technique's power, she would definitely lose.

The Mossery Duet Technique was like the moon, waxing and waning. It took two people to achieve the full moon state, but this dance fan was different.

With the dance fan, one could release the complete Mossery Duet Technique with just one person. However, the requirements for the user were very high. They not only needed to be familiar with the Mossery Duet Technique's basic skills, but more importantly, they also had to learn the unique skills of the two families.

Anox had seen Zora use her family's unique skills. He just did not expect to remember them all instead of forgetting them. Otherwise, he would not have been able to crack the previous attack instantly.

Anox fished out the Seven-Color Dance Fan from his pocket. "My grandmother left me this..."

"This... How is that possible? Your father... Your grandmother... Isn't that.....”

"That's right. Zora. We're distant relatives of the Bijou family. That's why we're labeled as traitors..."

"Huh, how ironic."

"I'm sorry..."

"Anox, you don't need to apologize! None of that matters anymore. Come on, let me see it!"

Zora waved her fan, sending a strong wind blowing toward Anox. In response, Anox used the dance fan and unleashed an attack as well.

The two attacks collided with each other, intertwining as if dancing with one another. Immediately afterward, both of them withdrew their power and concentrated it in front of themselves.

"Duet Style!"

The two of them compressed the wind into a sphere. Their next attack would definitely cause a fierce collision.

Suddenly, there was an explosion. Strangely, the sound did not come from inside the arena but outside. Everyone in the venue was surprised. Then came a commotion.

Shouts, screams, and thick smoke and dust rushed toward the arena, catching everyone's attention.

Maxim stood up. He did not expect it to start so quietly. He was about to step forward to maintain order when he felt murderous intent behind him. Immediately, he raised his hand to defend himself.

"Philemon, you didn't hold back at all."

"Mr. Young, you took my kindness for granted. Am I not helping you?"

"You and your glib tongue!"
