My Substitute CEO Bride

"So that's it. Your true energy has no offensive power at all. Are you practicing some kind of coward's technique? Yet, you still dare boast!" he continued taunting.

"You damned exploding green-haired brat!" This was the nickname Biloch gave to Thunder Boy. Clearly, he was getting worked up.

"This is called style. You know nothing!" Thunder Boy punched Biloch in the face again. Although it did not hurt, it was extremely humiliating.

Biloch retreated to the giant tree.

Thunder Boy called lightning down on Biloch and the giant tree, but every giant tree was already

connected with the elders. The power the elders had, the giant trees possessed as well. In other words, each giant tree was as strong as steel and no attack had any effect on it.

At this moment, Thunder Boy suddenly gave a sinister smile.noveldrama

"I finally understand why that guy sent me all the way here," Thunder Boy said as he looked at the steel- like tree.

From the beginning, the fragments of Ruin, which now served as power for everyone to communicate, had been constantly collecting battle data from every single person.

He had not immediately deployed all the support units because he wanted to develop a clear understanding of each giant tree and the elders' abilities. This way, he could make the appropriate personnel adjustments to counter these abilities.

Thunder Boy could counter strong defenses, and he had now realized it. The guy he was facing was not dodging at all, which meant ordinary lightning did not harm him. However, Thunder Boy had another ability.

In the South Territory, Malvol's sudden disappearance left the Woodrow brothers confused.

Perhaps Malvol had never taken the brothers seriously from the start. If that were the case, they decided then they would just charge at the giant tree. However, they were a bit naive as the giant tree suddenly summoned countless threads and reactivated the puppets.

At this point, they realized the giant tree was not just standing there idly. When Shane saw the emerging threads and noted how similar they were to Malvol's abilities, he had a guess which he conveyed to everyone through the earphones.

"To everyone on the battlefield, this is the South Territory. The one guarding the giant tree has suddenly disappeared. Please be careful."

"He's heading toward the North Territory," replied Thresmund.

Shane then added, "You guys be careful. Oh, also noticed

something. The giant trees seem to share the same abilities as their guardiands, and the guardians don't seem to die. Could it be that

"The giant trees are actually their true forms," Thunder Boy answered quickly.

Hearing someone else having the same assessment, Shane figured that his hypothesis was likely correct. Now, everyone was clear on their primary objective—they had to focus on destroying the giant trees while restraining the guardians.

In the North Territory, the barrier around the Lewis family's house had already collapsed. Soon, the demonic trees would engulf Harrison and Lauren. Yet, neither of them showed any fear.

They sat calmly on the couch,

sipping coffee leisurely. They knew that their most important daughter was safe, and that was all that mattered to them as parents. They paid no attention to the demonic trees pounding on the doors and Windows.

They might soon become like those creatures, but so what?

Harrison extended his hand.

"Shall we dance?"

Lauren placed her hand on his and replied, "Don't step on my heels again this time."

"Of course not. Let's dance like we did back then."

"Alright."
