My Substitute CEO Bride

Sven must have grasped something.

Since he consistently did not believe that Dusvad would surrender, he likely possessed some important evidence.

Dusky's role was straightforward; he needed a recommendation. Hence, Dusky reluctantly contacted Nash.noveldrama

After explaining the situation, Nash immediately agreed to Sven's request without hesitation.

Sven and Nash exchanged pleasantries like old acquaintances for a while. Then, they arranged to meet in the underground parking lot of the state capital building. Although Nash served as a bodyguard for Kaden and Elias and they trusted him deeply, this matter involved Nash privately gathering intelligence.

Furthermore, with the state capital preparing for Kaden and Elias' trip to Sand Country, it seemed inappropriate to let Sven and Dusky enter so freely.

Sven understood that this was a sensitive time and hence the need to avoid suspicion. Thus, Sven and Dusky headed to the state capital together.

Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, Nash had been waiting there for a while.

After having a word with the security guard, the guard allowed both of them to enter.

The two approached Nash's vehicle. Inside the vehicle, Sven chatted about various topics with Nash. However, Dusky could tell that their small talk was just a way to exclude him.

Nash clearly did not trust Dusky. Sven noticed this as well, which was why he continued the pointless conversation.

With no other choice, Dusky got out of the car.

Nash asked somewhat pointedly, "Where are you going? This is the state capital."

Dusky smiled helplessly. He understood the implication in Nash's words. This was the state capital, and Dusky needed to be careful not to pull any stunts.

"I'll step outside for a moment. You two continue your conversation."

With that, Dusky left the parking lot under their watchful eyes. Now, only Sven and Nash remained in the car.

Sven found it a bit strange, so he asked, "There's no need to be so wary of Dusky, is there?"

Nash shook his head, then furrowed his brows together and said seriously, "I have to be cautious of that guy. He is helping us, but he also mentioned it's just part of his mission. If he possesses too much information, it could lead to unfavorable consequences for us later. So, we can only proceed this way.

"Sven, after discussing so much, there's something I want to ask before you share your intelligence."

Sven guessed what Nash was about to ask. "You want to inquire about what happened after you left Gorgeous Country, right?"

Nash nodded. "Right. Weren't you guarding that Mica fellow? Why did you suddenly come to Drakonia?"

Sven sighed at that moment. Then, with a slight tremor in his voice, he said, "Mica is dead."

Upon hearing this, Nash's heart sank. "Didn't he... already become a government official_"

"It's precisely because of that," Sven interrupted Nash. "It was precisely because he got elected that it led to his untimely death. This also relates to the intelligence I want to share with you. Why do you think Gorgeous Country suddenly announced the existence of martial artists?

"All of this traces back to a meeting that occurred about half a month ago. That meeting involved internal disputes within Gorgeous Country. In the end, the faction represented by Mica lost by a single vote. And since then, everything became irreversible."
