My Substitute CEO Bride

"I'm sorry, Chuck. I'm a selfish person."

Chuck nodded and patted his shoulder. "It's okay. Let's work together, then!"

"Work together?"

Chuck continued, "That's right, let's cooperate. There are still nearly 500 participants left. I noticed many have already started forming alliances. So, why don't we and Mr. Malrose work together? My abilities don't carry much offensive power, so I need to rely on stronger allies. What do you think, Francel?"

Chuck had no reason to refuse his offer. Thus, the three of them joined forces with the aim of completing the competition while avoiding killing others as much as possible.

Dusky watched all this unfold from above. "Chuck, you might be someone with great potential. Gaining power in just one or two days has changed you completely. Let's see what your future holds."

The third day arrived, and Chuck was still training. With Francel and Marcus as sparring partners, he was progressing quickly, but he had yet to develop any additional offensive abilities.

At that moment, Clayton arrived at the training ground.

"Chuck, here's lunch."

Chuck took the lunchbox. "Thanks, Clayton."

Clayton pulled out two more lunchboxes. "You two should eat as well. It's just homemade food. I hope you don't mind."

Francel and Marcus accepted the lunchboxes and began eating.

After finishing the meal, Clayton left the training ground. He quickly made his way through the streets and then into a secluded corner. A mysterious woman approached him before taking off her sunglasses and mask- it was Zoe.

Clayton pulled her into an embrace. "Missed me, baby?"noveldrama

Zoe, with a look of disgust, pushed him away. "Enough. Stop being disgusting. Let's talk business."

Clayton took out a syringe from his bag. "I already mixed this into their food like you asked me to. What's next?"

Zoe turned her head to scan the surroundings. Then, she said sternly, "You don't need to do anything. Just stay quiet for the next few days."

After that, she turned to leave.

Clayton grabbed her hand at that moment. "Baby, stay with me a little longer, will you?"

Zoe sneered with disgust, "Clayton, remember this. Don't talk to me about this until you've completed your task! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!"

With those harsh words, Zoe finally left.

His expression then turned serious. "Your plan, their plan, it's all just a circus act. Who will have the last laugh? We'll see."

Clayton then pulled something out of his pocket-it was a participant's bracelet! He had also become a participant on the first day and had quickly mastered the ability to conceal his true energy.
