My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 2043

"Then what is it?" Nash asked impatiently.

"Master Nash, since you've been training with Master Calcraft, have you ever heard of a priest clan called Crossover Judges?" Nash was stunned for a moment before he nodded.

"This profession does exist. These people can see the souls of the dead from a young age. They can also communicate with them in their sleep. Most importantly, these judges can accept requests from the dead, and once the judges fulfill their requests, those souls will be at the judges' disposal at will."

Mosley said with a smile, "Not bad. You know a lot. But there's another more troublesome matter."

"What is it?" Nash asked.

"The judges have such powerful ability, but they can't choose who they want to accept requests from, which means they're forced to perform all requests. On top of that, some souls would have too much resentment that would affect all surrounding areas. These judges must also dispel the resentment in the affected area."

"By that, you mean..." Nash looked at Mosley's dark eye circles and said, "The Land of Nion has become a place with strong and heavy resentment? But this is a transnational business, right? Is it under your control as well?"

Mosley smiled. "Transnational business? Haha! Master Nash, you're quite clever with your words. I'm not the only judge in the world, of course. We've been distributed all over the world, but we can sense each other's existence. However, the judge in the Land of Nion died a violent death recently!"

"Violent death?!" Nash was shocked as he continued, "If I remember correctly, my master once said that a judge's strength must not be underestimated due to their long-term absorption of dead souls.

"Take yourself as an example. Apart from the power you've retained, you should at least be at the Divine Sojourn Realm now, right?"

Mosley replied, "Yes, almost. But even so, the local judge suddenly died. When I arrived, I discovered that the Eastland of Nion had long become a gathering place of resentment, and the current scale has reached a situation that is beyond my control.

"If this continues, the surrounding countries will soon be affected."

Nash took a long drag of the cigarette and then stamped it out. "So, you asked me to come instead? But I'm not familiar with your profession."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to dispel the resentment. Just leave this task to me and my colleagues."

"Colleagues?"

"Yes, the other judges are also flying toward the Land of Nion, but they still have some unfinished business at the moment, so they'll be arriving later."

"You still haven't told me why you want me here," Nash complained.

Mosley scratched his head, smiling awkwardly, "Ah, you're right. I'm sorry for getting off track. Master Nash, your mission is to get rid of the person who killed the judge of the Land of Nion."

"Uh..." Nash was a little confused and asked, "I don't know anything. How can I find the murderer?"

Mosley replied, "Actually, I do have some clues. Do you still remember the members of the Illuminion you met in the Northern Territory?"

Nash was no longer sleepy as soon as he heard about the Illuminion. "Of course! Those guys escaped at some point. Could it be them?"

"That's right!" Mosley nodded and

continued, "They're now in the Land

of Nion. They're using the Church of

the Netherworld and the mand

Ace. While Drakonia forces are fighting in full swing, the people of the illuminion are occupying Twilight silently. This is their true purpose.

"In fact, they have deceived everyone. Drakonia was never the Illuminion's first stop of invasion. It's like playing a game. How could they skip the small monster battles that would increase their experience and challenge the big boss instead?"

"So that's it." Nash suddenly realized. "No wonder they were delaying time and attracting attention at the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties. When everyone was focused on Drakonia, nobody had time to care about anything else. That was how these cunning bastards diverted our attention."

Nash was filled with rageful hatred. He thought he had defeated the Illuminion and those guys fled, but he was the one who was taken for a fool. He had been deceived by them.

"Do you mean that people from the Illuminion killed the judge of the Land of Nion?" Nash asked.

"It's highly possible that Ace, the one you faced before, isn't their strongest combat force. He's more like a muscle man used as cannon fodder.

"Those generals you met from the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties? Their purpose is to give everyone the impression that the Illuminion had been defeated. They were an elaborate ruse."

"In that case, I agree to help you!" Nash's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his mouth twitched. His expression was extremely solemn.

"This time, we must completely eliminate the Illuminion!"

"Sure, but you may have to endure some trouble before that happens, Master Nash."
