My Substitute CEO Bride

"It's fine. They don't need my help," Helio replied.

Mallory was puzzled since their previous investigation did not find Mica to have any martial arts background. "What do you mean by that?"

Helio elaborated, "I was curious from the start why BrightState hadn't eliminated Mica when he's a major competitor to them. Now, I finally understand why."

"Oh, stop beating about the bush!" Mallory retorted.noveldrama

Helio sent a document to the group chat. Mallory opened it to find information on Mica's employees, with one marked for special attention.

"What is this..."

Helio glanced at the unshakable bodyguard in the square.

"Yerusia's savior, Sven."

"Sven is Mica's bodyguard."

...

In the square, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around, and many of them had pulled their phones out to record the scene.

"Wow! Are those special effects?"

"So cool! Is this a new movie?"

"Hey! Do that uppercut again!"

When the last of the watchers were dealt with, Mica and Sven quickly left the scene. Helio followed them closely behind from the rooftop. Just then, his phone rang. It was Puelo.

"Hello?"

Puelo was breathing heavily. "Helio! Where are you right now? Bad news, Dahlia is missing."

"Oh," Helio simply responded indifferently.

"What do you mean by that?" Puelo asked, puzzled.

Helio continued calmly, "Dahlia was dragged into the shadows. That happened this morning. She's probably dead by now."

Puelo was in disbelief. "W-What did you say?"

Helio paused in his tracks before making his way up to the body of a fallen watcher. Given the large number of watchers killed, their power would not dissipate quickly.

Helio assumed Puelo had not heard what he said and repeated, "I said, Dahlia is dead. We should consider her dead the moment she was dragged into the shadows. Even if she's not dead, we shouldn't go after her or else we'd be outing, ourselves."

Puelo's phone dropped to the ground. Helio continued, "Puelo, this is the reality we're dealing with. If we allow one person to fail the mission,

we'd have to recheck our priorities.

Don't forget our mission statement."

The Universal Top Seven dedicated their hearts to the group. Even if it meant opposing their own blood relatives, they could not betray the group.

Among the six, except for Puelo and Dahlia, the other four had been personally trained by Fabian from a young age, who instilled in them the principle of putting the mission first.

Puelo could not believe that these words were coming from the usually lazy Helio.

Helio did not hurry away after ending the call. He pressed one hand on the ground and began to channel his godly power.

"Rat."

Helio's abilities were fueled by the Godly Power of the 12. Each animal had three abilities.

Using the previous example of cutting down a giant tree...

The first ability was demonstrated when Helio summoned the flying dragon-an animal manifestation. The tiger blade used to cut down the tree was the second type-12 weapons empowered with godly power. The third type, involving the cow to enhance the tiger blade's power, was a unique spell of the 12.
