My Substitute CEO Bride

The Siege Point Organization had chosen to resist. It seemed as if everything had been planned in advance.

Banjo concluded that those who received the bounty would not act recklessly, and that was because everyone knew that tomorrow would be a significant day.

The leaders of Drakonia would negotiate with Dusvad. Causing trouble at this time was clearly inappropriate as everyone understood that they had to take this matter seriously regardless of the attitudes of Dusvad and Drakonia.

It did not matter if other opposing nations launched attacks; those who had not yet taken a side absolutely could not make the first move or cause a disturbance. Otherwise, it would provide an opportunity for Drakonia's people.

The Siege Point Organization was not a small group; they controlled many production and export channels for the country's heavy industries.

If Siege Point Tower was suddenly attacked now, it would undoubtedly create a significant uproar.

Even if the bounty hunters killed the members of the Siege Point Organization, Dusvad would probably not look kindly upon them.

Banjo then reviewed the list.

The Siege Point members on the list were relatively new, having joined within the last year. They did not possess crucial intelligence.

Yet they were still lives, and Banjo did not plan to let their murderers go easily.

Since Dusvad intended to take action the day after tomorrow, Banjo decided to escalate things tomorrow.

If Dusvad wanted chaos, then he and everyone in the Siege Point Organization would show him what real chaos looked like.

The Siege Point Organization was arguably the largest and most powerful civilian martial arts organization in Sand Country, aside from Dusvad's personal guards. Clearly, the bounty that Dusvad had put out came a bit too hastily.

Now that the relationship between the two factions was clear, the initiative rested with the Siege Point Organization.

Back in Drakonia, Dusky wanted to rest and sleep.

However, after Nicky and Zeodria left, he stepped out of his room. He soon

arrived at an abandoned building.

Sven was there eating instant noodles.

Dusky asked first, "Did you really need me to come alone?"

At that moment, Sven, while eating his noodles and checking the news, repeatedly replayed the call from that morning. "Mr. Dusky, what kind of person do you think the king of Sand Country is?"noveldrama

That question threw Dusky off guard. "How would I know? I've never met him."

However, Sven pointed to the screen on his phone. "From the live broadcast, tell me your thoughts."

Dusky pondered for a moment and then replied, "Well, he seems like an old man who can't hide his intentions. He seems a bit stubborn."

Sven agreed with Dusky's assessment. "Exactly. That's probably the first impression a normal person would have of him. But you should know what I'm about to say, right?"

Dusky did not respond as he had discussed this with Sven at the bus station before.

In summary, Sven did not believe Dusvad would simply submit to Gorgeous Country. As for the reason, he left it ambiguous, wanting Dusky to come find him after the call ended.

Dusky had arrived as promised, but Sven still seemed unfazed.

"Mr. Dusky, have we met somewhere?"

"You've already asked that question. And no, I've only heard your name," Dusky replied.

Sven smiled mysteriously and then stopped pressing further. "Alright, let's go." Dusky felt a bit surprised. "Where to?"

"The state capital."

Upon hearing this, Dusky understood why Sven had been keeping him in suspense.
