My Substitute CEO Bride

Nash shook his head and continued walking forward, leaving shoe prints on the hard ground with every step he took.

"Hmph, you're just pretending to be aloof and playing hard to get!" Tatiana wrinkled her button nose. She was disappointed with this handsome man.

She thought, 'I'm obviously stunning. Why won't he take another look at me?'

"Miss... Can we take a break? We can't walk anymore..." Helix and Hogan weakly shouted from behind.

"Give me the water bottle. I'll go into the mountains myself!"

"Impossible. We promised Godfather that we'd protect you!" Helix's expression was serious. Then, he slapped Hogan on the head and scolded, "Buck up! We've only just started and you can't walk anymore?" "Brother, you were the one who said you couldn't walk!" Hogan felt aggrieved.

"Shut up!" Helix scolded angrily. He then looked at Tatiana dotingly. "Miss, let's carry on!"

Suddenly, Helix's eyes widened. He pointed where Nash was and said, "Shit... The guy is gone..."

He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Nash was no longer seen on the road. He somehow disappeared into thin air.

Tatiana glanced back. A large number of strange runes appeared in her pupils. In her vision, there were countless mycelium-like invisible lines criss-crossing up ahead. All these invisible lines were runic incantations. "There are many arrays here. If you go in, you'll only hold me back..."

"Miss..."

"I must find the Thousand Illusion Array Disc. This is the only hope for the rise of the expert array family of Swenford..."

Tatiana's face showed unprecedented solemness.

However, the Briar twins were unmoved. She said earnestly, "Helix, Hogan, you've been with the Orwells for more than ten years. You probably don't want to see our family decline, right?" Hogan was full of doubts. "What does that decline mean?"

Helix struggled to explain, "That means... It means..."

Although Tatiana's grandfather sent

the two brothers to higher education, they were never book-smart. As a result, their

intellect was only at the middle.net

school level. Helix was not able to explain at all.

Tatiana patiently explained, "It means that our family will go bankrupt and be taken over by other families. We'll then have to beg on the streets!"

An image appeared in Hogan's

mind. The beautiful Tatiana was

squatting on the side of the road as

a beggar. The men passing by

el.n&t

coveted her beauty and threw money in her face, asking her to

sleep with them.

"No, I don't want Miss Tatiana to be a beggar!" A golden light flashed across Hogan's eyes. Gold dust appeared between his eyebrows.

Tatiana was shocked and quickly comforted him, "That's why you can't hold me back. As long as I find the Thousand Illusion Array Disc, our family won't decline, and we won't be beggars on the streets!" Hogan nodded heavily. "Okay, we'll listen to you!"

Helix took out an adorable cartoon water bottle from his backpack and handed it to Tatiana with a solemn expression on his face. "Miss, your bottle..."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Oh man, what are you doing? It's not as if I'm dying!" Tatiana took the bottle and slung it on her shoulder. She patted Helix on the shoulder and said, "I'll definitely come down the mountain before dawn tomorrow!"

Hogan took out a long-eared rabbit-like backpack from his own backpack. "Miss, nothing must happen to you, or we'll die with you!"

Tatiana was rendered speechless.

"That's enough! I'm well versed in arrays, and I have the Eyes of Destruction. These arrays can't hurt me!"

With that, Tatiana turned around and strode away.

After walking 20 meters, her figure distorted in the Briar twins' sight. She then disappeared.

...

Meanwhile, Nash was sitting cross-legged on a huge stone.

The clothes on his body clung to his skin as the sweat on his face dripped to the ground.

Nash murmured, "The gravity here is three times greater than before, and I've only walked about 300 meters!"
