My Substitute CEO Bride

"What's the fuss about?" James asked as he threw Yvonne a look.

"The Dragon King is here! He has the entire residence surrounded!" Yvonne said fearfully.

James was equally shaken. "Why would he be here?"All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lips trembling, Leonard explained, "I don't think we've ever provoked him."

Seeing them all so afraid, Nash asked, "Who's the Dragon King?"

"Capiton's underground Dragon King, Nalarov, is a member of the Petro family! All of Capiton's underground forces are under his control. The governor of Capiton and the chief inspector of the Inspection Office are also from the Petro family!" Leonard said, shaking. As one of the Ten Families, the Petro family's power spanned both sides of the law, casting a shadow over half of Capiton. Nalarov rarely appeared in public, but the ruthless methods he used behind the scenes were infamous.

It was said that he had replicated the ten most brutal torture methods in history. Those unfortunate enough to fall into his hands all endured excruciating deaths. This was also why the mere mention of the Dragon King's name struck fear into their hearts. "We're doomed! He's here to take revenge on you!"

Yvonne looked at Nash with great concern on her face. "Why don't you escape quickly?" She knew Nash was strong but did not think he was strong enough to go up against the Dragon King. "Revenge? What did you do?" James asked with surprise.

"He hit Viktoria Petro!" Yvonne choked out the words, her head lowered. Nash only hit Viktoria because of her. She was the reason for their current predicament and felt guilty about it. Leonard and his brothers all looked at one another.

"There must be some misunderstanding at play here. We just need to talk and clarify things with him," James said, his voice deep.

Face pale, Leonard laughed bitterly and retorted, "Clarify things with the Dragon King? You think he'll listen to us?

"God help us, God help us all!"

"Nash, how could you have the galls to hit the Petro family's most beloved princess?! You're as good as dead!" Chad, who had been bullied by Nash earlier, was now laughing heartily, extremely pleased.

Reanna chimed in with a laugh as

well. "Viktoria Petro is the Petro family's darling. Do you know what happened to a scion who insulted her once? He had his hands and feet broken, his mouth sewn shut with thread, and was left begging on the streets. His family didn't dare interfere at all!

"Yet, you raised your hand against Viktoria! You're asking to die!" Reanna sneered at Nash and then turned her malicious gaze toward Leonard and the others. "Not just you, everyone here will suffer

because of you!"

Hands in his pockets, Charlie said coldly, "It's one thing to flaunt your power in Jonford, but to come to Capiton and do the same? You've overestimated yourself!"

Leonard and the others looked grim. Yvonne was crying softly with her head down. Nash, however, was still calm. He was sitting on the couch and sipping the tea that Yvonne had just brewed. Seeing how composed Nash was, Reanna felt her anger flare even more. "You're acting all calm and collected, but you're actually panicking on the inside, aren't you?"

She refused to believe that Nash had never heard of Capiton's

underground Dragon King. Even if he did not know him, he should at least know about the Petro family, right? Who would not feel awe and fear when they heard of the Petro family?

"Aren't you spouting too much nonsense?"

"Do I look like I'm lying?"

"I hit Viktoria Petro, and I'll also hit Nalarov Petro. Should the head of the family show himself, I'll hit him too," Nash said as he slowly put down his teacup and gave Reanna a pretentious glance.
