My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 2044

Back in Northern Territory, Clint was strolling leisurely on the street. He knew Nash had sent plenty of his men to watch over him and the area.

He was also working back-to-back shifts with Deluca and the Woodrow brothers. He knew that this incident was not something to be taken lightly, but something did not sit right with him.

Even after he listened to Nash's and Shane's explanation about the whole incident, he felt something was amiss.

Clint muttered to himself, "Why? What exactly is it? Something doesn't make sense here. I keep having that strange, ominous feeling. But why?"

Everything seemed normal. Nothing was out of the ordinary.

"The Unyielding Truth and the Illuminion's battle, The Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties, the Northern Territory, the Unyielding Truth, a possible mole, Nash, the Woodrow brothers, the Unyielding Truth..." Clint muttered as he sorted out the existing clues. He returned to the hotel with six copper coins in his hands.

Just when he was about to do some divination, he caught a whiff of a smell. "Is that gas?"

With a loud boom, an explosion was heard, and the top of the building was engulfed in flames. Pedestrians around were startled while Theo and the rest hurriedly evacuated from the building.

"No! Mr. Melton! Mr. Melton is still-"

Clint walked out from behind and said, "I'm here."

Theo was already in tears, with snot dripping down his nose. He exclaimed, "You scared me to death, Mr. Melton! I'm so glad you're okay."

"Alright, let's call the authorities to put out the fire first. Is there anyone in the building who has not yet evacuated?"

"No, that's all of us. The fire broke out on the roof, and everyone was downstairs except for you."

"The motive is obviously clear," Clint frowned as he thought out loud.

"What's wrong, Mr. Melton?" Theo asked..

"Did anyone go upstairs just now? Or was there anyone suspicious?"

Theo shook his head and said, "No. The top floor has a dedicated elevator. There's no way to get there unless that person could fly."

"I see. Okay, let's put out the fire first," Clint said.

Later that night, Clint flew to a remote mountain in the Northern Territory and called Nash on the phone. On the other end of the line,

Nash explained to Clint what

had told him about ion.

"I knew it." Clint finally understood where that ominous feeling of uneasiness came from. "Nash, do you feel the same way too?"

Nash replied, Yes. If we take into

consideration everything that Mosley told us, this means the Illuminion and the Church of the Netherworld have quite an accurate grasp of our whereabouts. In other words, there's only one possibility."

Clint finished Nash's analysis and said, "There are undercover agents around us. I also discovered something else. Do you think the deaths of the people from the Unyielding Truth don't make sense?"

Nash agreed, "Exactly. They are

quasi-demigods, after all. How could they be killed so easily?

Furthermore, there's no information at all about who these undercover agents are and their whereabouts. How could there be no clues at all?"

"Are you suspecting the Woodrow brothers?" Clint asked.
