My Substitute CEO Bride

What emerged from the handgun was not a bullet but a projectile made of true energy.

As previously mentioned, Dusvad also had a background as a martial artist. Therefore, he could defend against true energy projectiles.

Immediately, Dusvad charged forward, intending to seize Gide for a counter- attack.noveldrama

However, numerous armed martial artists appeared both inside and outside the conference room. They unleashed a barrage of gunfire that caught him completely off guard, so Dusvad could only adopt a defensive stance.

At that moment, Gide threw another punch. Although it did not shake Dusvad, Gide wore a smug expression.

The next moment, Dusvad felt a tightening in his chest, and his limbs suddenly weakened.

Under the relentless barrage, Dusvad ultimately fell. However, the people of Gorgeous Country did not kill him.

At that time, Gide approached Dusvad and whispered something.

The recording did not capture that statement clearly, but judging from Dusvad's expression, it seemed significant. He looked astonished and incredulous as he stared at Gide before him. "This... It's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible; it all depends on whether you believe it," Gide replied.

Upon hearing this, Dusvad appeared to submit and lowered his head. With that, the video ended.

Nash still harbored some questions. "So, what exactly did King Dusvad hear?"

Sven shook his head. "I don't know, but given King Dusvad's demeanor, it must be something significant for him."

"Doesn't that mean he has become an ally of Gorgeous Country?" Nash asked.

However, Sven disagreed, "Nash, have you heard of King Dusvad's story?" Nash replied, "No."

Sven stated confidently, "Just like a soldier's duty is to serve their country, King Dusvad has witnessed the rise of his nation. Therefore, he'd never agree to surrender both his country and dignity to Gorgeous Country. Perhaps he's waiting for an opportunity."

"Is it really so?" Nash still felt somewhat skeptical.

After all, this was merely Sven's speculation, and what he currently saw was that Dusvad had already succumbed to Gorgeous Country. Could everything truly change?

Nevertheless, since Sven suggested it, Nash decided to hear his plan. "Sven, share your insights."

Finally, the day arrived for Kaden and Elias to travel from Drakonia to Sand Country. On this day, everyone in Drakonia focused on the two leaders' movements. Many people arrived early at the entrance of the state capital, waiting for the two to appear.

With warm greetings echoing around, Kaden and Elias emerged from the state capital building. The crowd erupted in cheers as they regarded the two leaders as their hope.

Kaden and Elias felt the same way. The people of Drakonia represented their hope. They had to bring back good news.

Subsequently, the two leaders warmly greeted the citizens present and those watching the live broadcast.

"Rest assured, people. Trust Drakonia. This journey of ours will showcase the grace of Drakonia," Kaden said humbly, which led to further applause from the crowd.

The people watched as the convoy carrying the two leaders disappeared from sight.
