My Substitute CEO Bride

"Old man, what do you mean by that?" Harvin understood then that playing the emotional card was not going to work.

"What do I mean?" the previous head of the Carver family shouted angrily. "Boy, I should be asking you that! What do you mean?!"

"Mr. Young has always been the one helping us! Do you really think that just because you're the head of the family, you hold all the power?"

Harvin laughed bitterly. "That's right, the title of the head of the Carver family doesn't truly belong to me. This family is rotten from the inside, after all."

"Watch your tongue! Come on, you guys. Follow me. We need to support Mr. Young!"

The Carver family, the Wood family, and more rushed toward the arena.

Leuca had to call on his men to fight back. "Go! We can't let them cause a disturbance at the arena no matter what!"

At this moment, Nash could not sit still any longer. "Huntley, follow me."

"I understand your intentions, Nash, but how do we do it? And to what extent?"

Nash's expression was dark as he looked in the other direction at the Bullock family, the Dune family, and the Bijou family. "Kill all who resist."

The two flew in the direction opposite Harvin.

Currently, Harvin, together with Leuca and a few of the company's martial artists, were at the north gate, preventing the Carver family and the Wood family from entering the venue to support Maxim.

At the south gate, Nash and Huntley's garrison were blocking the Bullocks family, the Dune family, and the Bijou family. In the arena, a fierce battle was going on between the elites of the Enigma Clan and Maxim's armed forces. Another battle was also happening between everyone else and Harkin outside the arena.noveldrama

Harkin was not stupid and knew she was facing three immortals with profound cultivation. She unleashed her crimson true energy, hoping that it would buy her some time.

Unexpectedly, Elder Ever had reached her and delivered a kick. Harkin tumbled and rolled several meters away.

Immediately, Mr. White unleashed a flurry of silver needles at Harkin. She transformed into her human form, her crimson robe billowing as she successfully blocked Mr. White's attack.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, however, a sharp pain surged through her head. Blaque was disrupting her true energy relentlessly. It felt as if her core was about to shatter, and now, her true energy was running wild.

"Steady, steady!" Harkin muttered as she dragged her sharp nails over her lips, the fresh blood bringing her some relief.

Blaque was not surprised to see this given Harkin was an old demon over a century old. It was only natural that she knew how to use her own blood to expel Blaque's true energy from her body. However, this was just an appetizer.

Blaque walked up to Harkin. "You know you can't win against us, Harkin. I advise you one last time, stop."

Harkin let out a crazed laugh. "Stop?"

"That's right. Shut down the array in the arena, and we may spare your life."

"Spare my life?" Harkin stared at the immortals who had gathered with her blood- red eyes, her gaze intense and unwavering as she broke into laughter.

"I'm just doing the same as what you're doing, yet you want me to give up. What nonsense!"

"So, there's no other way?" Blaque asked, her voice carrying a tone of regret.

Harkin was right. She was merely carrying out Maxim's orders. Even the revered Mother of Immortals, Blaque, could not deny that her actions were justified. Yet, their fates were intertwined with the fate of the entire region, and possibly the entire world.

Even if those noble words felt hypocritical, any killing in the name of righteousness could not simply be dismissed. Yet, they had no choice.

Gathering her true energy, Blaque got ready to finish Harkin off with a single strike.

It was at that moment, the crimson array within the arena began to shatter. The sudden surge of overwhelming power captured the attention of all the immortals.
