My Substitute CEO Bride

Looking at Banjo, who lay on the ground, lifeless and devoid of spirit, Power felt a sense of regret. Banjo had failed to withstand the last blow in the end. He lost.

Power turned to look at the crowd. There were no more elite fighters who he looked forward to fighting. Hence, he shot up into the sky and left.

At this moment, Peter, who had been observing from a distance, rushed over. "Uncle Banjo!"

Peter could not believe that Banjo, who had spoken with him just a short while ago, was now dead. Power's attack had been so overwhelming that Banjo barely felt any pain before departing from this world.noveldrama

Peter held Banjo's body and wept uncontrollably. "Why? Why did it come to this?"

At that moment, Nakasha also approached. Seeing the state Banjo was in, she suppressed her own grief and yanked Peter up. "Peter, don't forget what I told you! It's time for you to carry on Banjo's wishes. Spread the word!"

Peter looked up, tears still glistening in his eyes, but he understood that he could not stop now. Banjo's wishes and Nakasha's encouragement were burdens he had to bear alone.

He stood up, determination surging within him. He turned away and headed toward the palace without looking back. "Wait for me, Dad!"

Inside the palace, Dusvad was still in discussion with Elias and Kaden. Although the two elders had made thorough preparations, they still could not persuade Dusvad.

He seemed unconcerned with any information they provided and instead posed a mysterious question, "Have you investigated the ratio of martial artists to ordinary people in Sand Country?"

The two elders shook their heads in response.

Dusvad then addressed the live broadcast camera, "The number of martial artists in Sand Country is the lowest in the world. The normal ratio is generally one to 1,000 or one to 10,000. Yet in Sand Country, the

ratio is one to 200,000. That figure includes all suspected martial artist organizations in Sand Country. The numbers are just too few-too few."

The two elders listened to Dusvad's words but did not understand what he meant. Suddenly, Dusvad concentrated his true energy in his hand. Nash quickly intercepted Dusvad's fist that was aimed at Kaden.

The shocking display filled everyone present with fear. At this moment, Dusvad leaped from the podium to his throne and shouted, "You mortals! You're nothing but tools for us martial artists!

"I don't care about your lives! All mortals should bow beneath our feet! You! You! And all of you watching the live broadcast, you're nothing but pawns in the new world!"

The situation was so frenzied that

both those present and the ordinary people watching the livestream were filled with immense fear. At that dwith moment, they realized that Dusvad

had betrayed Sand Country.

Gradually, some angry journalists stood up, denouncing Dusvad as a traitor to the

nation. Just then, Peter arrived at the palace.

"Dad!" he shouted, and all attention shifted to him. "Dad! Give it up! It's over!"
