My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1560

Battlestar's voice was cold as ice as he responded, "You're going against the natural order. Let's kill him together!"

Two elderly men immediately stood up when they sensed that the bugs inside their bodies had disappeared. Considering Duncan's furious departure earlier, it was easy to guess that the Path taker who was in control of the bugs had met with some trouble. "One late-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm and two early-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm experts, eh?" The middle-aged man slowly stood up, his peak-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm aura rolling off him without restraint. The 1.5-billion-dollar villa collapsed with a thunderous crash along with all the furniture inside it.

Battlestar and the Roche family's two Mystique Loyalty Realm experts went all out, their Mystique Pill spinning wildly and releasing true energy to hold up the collapsing cement slabs that were about to crush people. "Hurry, run!" Battlestar bellowed while grabbing his neck.

The Roches screamed as they scrambled out of the building. Darcus was injured and knocked down by a fellow family member just as he tried to get up.

Dalia ran over to help her grandfather up, her voice trembling with tears. "Grandfather... Are you okay?"

Darcus looked up. "I'm fine, let's run!"

As everyone ran out of the villa, Battlestar suddenly released his power, causing the suspended cement slabs to explode. Then, the three of them stepped forward at the same time and engaged the middle-aged man in battle.

...

Air raid sirens resonated through the whole of Munford. Alerts about the upcoming large-scale strategic exercise in Munford covered the screens of television stations and mobile phones. Everyone was instructed to return home immediately and not to linger outside. Those who did not manage to get home in time, especially those working near high-end mansions, noticed explosions coming from some residences. The six elite families were all engaged in battle, and the clashes between Mystique Loyalty Realm experts instantly brought disaster to the entire villa area.

Mansions collapsed as the earth cracked. Numerous bodyguards of these families perished in the aftermath of the battle. It was unavoidable.

Lurking outside the third-rate families' residences like wolves were members of the Dragon Soul Special Forces. Bayonets held firmly in their hands, their eyes were sharp as they waited for their commands.

...

At the same time in the Lloyds' residence, all the senior members of the family were sitting in the living room with stunned looks.

"It's all because of this jinx. He has only just returned to the family and already he has brought us bad luck!" An obese woman pointed at Sammy as she accused angrily.

The others immediately turned to look at the beautiful girl cowering in the corner.

If Nash were here, he would surely recognize this girl as the one who had once bought him clothes and whom he had helped treat, making her beautiful.

Sammy was not an ordinary girl. She was born into a wealthy family but was cast out along with her mother because she had been ugly and sickly. Later, the family heard that she had been cured of her illness and become beautiful. A young man from a second-rate family was even pursuing her. Hence, they began having ulterior motives. They brought Sammy back into the family's fold with the intent of marrying her off to that man.

"Saskia, I don't like your tone. All the prestigious families in Munford are now under control. Are you going to say that my daughter brought disaster to the entirety of Munford too?" Miriam had long held a grudge against Saskia, the wife of the family's third son. She was the one who had proposed kicking her and her daughter out of the family in the first place.

"You're a lowly peasant from the countryside. Do you even have the right to speak here?" Saskia pointed at Miriam and cursed loudly.

"Isn't your daughter just a jinx? This Munford disaster is her doing!" Saskia accused once more.

"You rotten woman, what else do you do besides spewing garbage?" Miriam rebuked fearlessly. Since the family head had brought her and her daughter back, she intended to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the past. Suddenly, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa shattered. Immediately, the disciples of the Aoen Sect outside went on high alert. Two great-grandmasters rushed into the villa. "What's going on?"

The Lloyds were bewildered. They did not know what was happening either as the windows had shattered out of nowhere.

Just then, a member of the Dragon Soul Special Forces abruptly appeared, his bayonet thrusting viciously toward the heart of the nearest great-grandmaster.

The great-grandmaster reacted swiftly and dodged to the side before striking his attacker's chest with an aimed palm.

The Dragon Soul Special Forces soldier dared not resist head-on and stepped back to avoid the attack before delivering a whip kick. The great-grandmaster also raised his leg and kicked back, sending his opponent flying back ten meters.
