Chapter 2449
My Substitute CEO Bride
"What..." Leuca froze on the spot.
Enid took advantage of this moment to quickly shrug his hands off, then she bolted toward the door.
However, the door shut automatically.
Enid banged her fists desperately on the closed door and cried, "L-Let me out, I..."
Leuca stood up at this time with a hint of bitterness in his dangerous gaze. He asked, "What is that power inside your body?"
"What are you talking about?" Enid clung to the door in fear, but at this moment, Leuca was already walking toward her.
In just the blink of an eye, Leuca knocked Enid unconscious with the side of his palm.
He held this so-called sister in his arms, plagued with conflicting feelings.
"All of this is punishment for the Goode family... Old man, I'm afraid I can no longer protect this girl you left behind..."
Leuca opened the door and locked Enid inside the house. Then, he left in a hurry.
During this whole time, Enid was locked in Leuca's room. Except for regular food deliveries, nobody told Enid what was going on.
Less than half a month later, the entire East District of the Northern Territory had been turned upside down. Maxim had eliminated all the immortal spirits and spared some who were willing to cooperate with him.
Leuca walked into a dark basement. Hidden inside was a familiar face.
It was Thresmund, but he did not have a name at that time.
Leuca released Thresmund from the prison cell and then knocked him unconscious. After that, Leuca's group of followers took him out.
Leuca sighed as he watched his men take Thresmund away.
"The sins committed by the Goodes have finally been repaid..."
Not long ago, Maxim found Leuca after he eliminated all the immortal spirits.
"W-What do you mean by this?" Leuca had asked stutteringly.
Maxim did not hesitate as he went straight to the point. He said bluntly, "I know that you somehow have the power of the Mother of Immortals on your side, am I right?"
"You must be pulling my leg. The Mother of Immortals? How is it possible? We, the Goodes, have always been law-abiding. How is it possible..."
However, Maxim's fist came right in front of Leuca's face.
Leuca was terrified.
Maxim threatened him, "Boy, you'd better be careful what you say. Otherwise, if I don't like a word you say, I'll have you taste my fist."
"O-Okay."
"Tell me, where is that power now?"
"I... I..."
"Where is the power of the Mother of Immortals?!"
"I-I don't know..." Before he could finish speaking, Maxim's fist hit Leuca directly in the face.
Even the physically strong Leuca was stunned by this punch. He felt his eyes burn.
The next second, Maxim pulled him up again.
