My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1868

Nash's words immediately caused a stir throughout the crowd.

"What is that kid saying? He wants to wipe out the Klein family completely?"

"He's just boasting shamelessly. How can he handle the family's four Profound Oriental Realm experts?"

"Hmph, the Klein family wiped out the Skye family because they had the power to do so. Does Nash have that kind of power?"

While the heads of the second-rate families mocked and ridiculed Nash for his goals, a few remained uncertain. Nash was, after all, the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron. It was hard to believe he was powerless.

Benedict represented the Divine Strategy Squadron while Nash represented the Celestial Dragon Squadron. Those two were the two most powerful official organizations in the country. If they joined forces against the Klein family, the latter might struggle to fight back. Even if they were to retreat, not a blade of grass would remain for kilometers around once these top experts take action. If they stayed here any longer, they might bring even the city disaster.

Many heads of families instantly considered leaving.

Alexander laughed arrogantly. "Nash, oh Nash. Do you really think I've made no progress in the 20-plus years I was sealed by your master?

"Do you truly believe that just because you're at the peak of the Profound Oriental Realm, you can defeat me?"

The moment he said that, his aura suddenly soared.

Ripples tore into the air violently, causing Benedict and Ryan to stagger back several steps. Even Nash was pushed back before he finally stabilized himself.

Alexander was at the peak of the Profound Oriental Realm!

Nash's eyes narrowed as they were filled with intense battle intent. Alexander's aura had surged to the peak of the Profound Oriental Realm without the need for pills or secret techniques.

His cultivation technique was extraordinary!

The expressions of Gerolt and a few others shifted slightly as they glanced at Alexander with newfound astonishment. This man had been hiding his true strength, his true Profound Oriental Realm strength!

For him to reach the peak of the Profound Oriental Realm at 120 years old was a testament to his exceptional talent that was enough to shake the entire cultivation world.

With his hands behind his back, a golden light shone from Alexander's eyes. His image resembled a supreme war god. "Nash, today is your day of reckoning!"

His words were icy, his voice carrying sonic waves that buzzed in the eardrums of those without cultivation.

Just as Nash prepared to act, a gray-robed old man descended from the sky.

"Please, let's talk this out!"

The gray-robed old man spoke in a deep voice. "I'm Balen Zuniga, and I've come to mediate!"

Alexander frowned slightly. "Balen, you're still alive?"

Gerolt's eyes narrowed and muttered to himself, "This guy is still alive..."

Kieran took a deep breath. "My master mentioned him before. He's Balen Zuniga, the Chess Saint. He's a figure who dictates life and death!"

Gerolt nodded in agreement. "He and I are cultivators of the same era. I didn't expect him to have reached the late stage of the Profound Oriental Realm."

Balen's appearance caused both

Alexander and Nash to frown. They could both discern Balen to be at the late stage of the Profound Oriental Realm. If Balen stood against them, it would significantly increase the pressure on their side.

Balen smiled at Nash gently. "My young friend, cultivation is not easy. The three of you are no match for them. I believe both sides should sit down and talk things out!" "This feud between the Young family and the Klein family can't be resolved with talking," Nash replied.

The Young family? Balen paused

slightly. "You're from the Young family?" he asked before

immediately turning to Alexander. "What grievances do you have with the Young family?"

Alexander responded lightly, "I wiped them out."

Balen looked at Alexander in disbelief. "The Young family had many strong fighters. How could you possibly have wiped them out?"

"Their ranks were reduced to just Mystique Loyalty Realm cultivators 200 years ago. They were nothing but a group of ants at that point. Wiping them out was no different from actually stepping on ants," Alexander continued indifferently.
