My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1504

Nash could feel Anton's presence and figured that he must have noticed that the Celestial Dragon Squadron base had disappeared from the satellite, which prompted his current investigation. "Lumi, drip another drop of your blood on the array again."

"Ah, okay." Lumi bit her finger and reopened the freshly scabbed wound. When a drop of her blood made contact with the spiritual stone, the 18 central array patterns were divided into two.

The separated array pattern penetrated between her brows as a complex formation diagram suddenly appeared in her mind.

"You'll be able to control this array in the future. This array is the switch for the defense system and also the array in the basement."

Lumi's eyes lit up. "This is amazing!" Her admiration for Nash intensified as thoughts began fluttering in her mind. 'Ah, he's so handsome! I really want to give him a kid! Wait... Did he give me control of the array because he values me? Has he already fallen for me?' "Commander..."

Lumi looked at Nash shyly, but he was already at the entrance of the laboratory. He went in, and the doors shut with a bang. Laughing, she murmured, "I bet he's shy!"

...

It was already 9:00 pm when Nash returned to Gladwell, but Hera was not at home. She likely went out to accumulate merit.

Seven days ago, Yellow Crane had told him that he would go out with her to accumulate merit.

Yellow Crane cultivated ultimate fruition, which required the accumulation of merit. It was also good karma for Hera as well as the baby in her belly. Thus, Nash had no reason to refuse.

The maids hired by Northway Real Estate were currently cleaning. Each household in Gladwell Villa was assigned two maids.

Nash sat cross-legged on the balcony on the second floor, cultivating. He had set up a spirit gathering array around the villa during the past few days.

When his wife came home from work and breathed in the spiritual energy, it would moisturize her skin and purify the polluted air she usually inhaled into her lungs.

...

At present, three black Mercedes-Benz were parked at the entrance of an urban village in the northern suburbs of Jonford.

"Jasmine and Finn will follow me. You guys just wait outside."

Hera was wearing a long black dress and a pair of sunglasses. On her waist hung an eight trigrams bag that carried a trace of magic.

The three of them walked toward the village that was shrouded in darkness. Finn's expression was strange as he asked, "Hera, what's going on at this house today?"

Hera started reading people's fortunes five days ago, saying something about committing a good deed every day would accumulate merit.

"The child seemed to have been shocked into being mute," Hera said.

The corner of Finn's mouth twitched. "He might be fine after a night's sleep."

It was normal for people to faint out of fright. They were making a mountain out of a molehill by bringing Hera's attention to this.

"Let's take a look first before we say anything. Who knows, he might have gotten so scared his soul went flying?" Hera said, recalling Yellow Crane bringing up the possibility when she first received the call. After walking for about seven to eight minutes, they arrived at the door of a bungalow. Finn stepped forward and knocked.

"Who is it?" An old voice sounded.

"We're here to treat your child!" Finn replied loudly, worried the elderly person might not be able to hear him clearly.

The rusty door opened with a squeak, and an 80-year-old man in plain clothes looked at the three of them with squinted eyes. "Miss Hera?" "This is she," Finn introduced.

The old man immediately stepped aside, his voice shivering as he said, "Miss, please come in!"

Hera led the other two as they entered the abode. A dark, dank smell greeted them.

"Such intense dark energy!"

"Be on your guard. There might be something here," Yellow Crane spoke up in Hera's mind. Hera immediately tensed, her expression turning serious.
