My Substitute CEO Bride

Sure enough, the low-level opponents were no match at all for Banjo as he effortlessly took them down.

It was as he guessed. With how unexpected the situation was, Dusvad's elite men

did not arrive at the scene immediately. The ones who were following them were merely lookouts. So far, everything was progressing smoothly.

Banjo, Elohim, and the rest got into the off-road vehicle again and drove toward the palace. Suddenly, someone unexpected appeared in front of them. There was a deafening roar, and the vehicle was blown up.

Fortunately, they were able to react in time and activate their true energies to protect themselves.

Banjo looked at the wrecked vehicle in disbelief. The outer layer armor had been put through rigorous testing, coming out unscathed even from high-powered explosives. Not to mention, there had been a layer of true energy protecting the vehicle.

Considering such exaggerated power, Banjo knew then that the big shots had arrived. He looked up into the sky and saw Gorgeous Country's Experiment 003, codename, Power.

"So, that was your laser beam just now, wasn't it, you tight-suit freak?" Banjo shouted up at Power, who hovered high above. Power was staring down at him with a cold, calculating gaze. He was more deranged than before, seemingly having become a complete madman.

“No, no, no. You have to call me Captain Power."noveldrama

Then, several modified humans clad in the same bizarre outfits as Power suddenly surrounded them. This development was entirely unexpected and not part of Banjo's initial plan. Their appearance confirmed Banjo's worst fears— Dusvad had indeed surrendered to Gorgeous Country.

Though it was difficult for him to accept, Banjo knew he had to deal with the immediate threat before him.

As he surveyed the group, he sensed that only Power had strength that surpassed his own. It was a strength that spoke of a vast, unbridgeable gap in power. Despite the overwhelming odds, Banjo remained calm. His final ace was Elohim, his hidden trump card.

At the same time, Banjo also received news from other Siege Point members, alerting him that they, too, had encountered modified humans from Gorgeous Country.

"So, they're coming at us full force," Banjo said, locking eyes with Power. "Seems like they planned this well in advance."

"Don't paint us so negatively, Siege Point," Power retorted. "We're Gorgeous Country's heroes, here to save the world."

Banjo scoffed. "Save the world?

That's just like Gorgeous Country. But if you're the world's so-called heroes, then I'll gladly play the role of the villain to bring you all down with no other reason than the fact that I just can't stand you."

One by one, Siege Point members stepped out of the vehicle, standing prepared by Banjo's side.

"Siege Point!" Banjo called out to his comrades. "Let's teach these so-called heroes a lesson! Charge!"

The two sides clashed. Although the modified humans of Gorgeous Country were very strong, those who were worthy of standing side-by-side with Banjo were also elites. Banjo had full confidence in them.

Just as the two sides were locked in battle, a mysterious man appeared before

the gates of the palace with a group dressed in suits and sunglasses behind him.

"Look like they've made their move." The man took off his hat, revealing Ironsteel, who was previously speaking with Power.

"Is there really meaning to what

we're doing?" the youth behind him

asked. tronsteel did not give him a

straight answer, simply saying

"Cortez, do you think my break with

Power was justified?"

The youth replied passionately, "Of course, it was justified! Mr. Ironsteel, I don't

know why Mr. Power has become like this, but..."
