My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 681
Duncan walked to Boris and asked softly, âHow is he?â
Of course, he knew the strange old man was behind what happened
just now.
The strange old man wanted to show off, but at the same time, he wanted to know how strong Duncanâs godfather was.
âNever underestimate the power of a Golden Robe Heavenly Master. Theyâll do something like that to fool others. The truly advanced Path techniques can even control thunder.â
Borisâ hands were behind his back, and he was smiling. âThere are not a lot of Golden Robe Heavenly Masters in Drakonia, and theyâre very
powerful.â
âI got it.â
A deep smile appeared on Duncanâs face.
He walked to the old man and said while putting his hands together, âI
donât have anything in my humble abode, but I do have enough
alcohol for you. If you donât mind, please come in and have a few
drinks.â
The old man walked around Duncan with his hands behind his back
and tutted. âNot bad. Not bad at all!â
Duncan was confused. âSir, what do you mean?â
Then, the old man stopped in front of Duncan and shook his head in
regret. âToo bad. Too bad!â
Duncan was very confused.
The old man laughed. âYour ancestors are buried in such an amazing place! Youâre so blessed! If Iâm not wrong, your ancestral grave has a very auspicious layout!â
Duncan shook his head. âIâm adopted.â
The old man stroked his goatee. He did not look as wasted as before. Instead, he said seriously, âIt doesnât matter. The more important thing is that youâll suffer a calamity in your life. But if you manage to get through it, youâll get unlimited prosperity!â
Duncan had never believed in these things.
However, after witnessing what the old man could do, he suddenly
believed him.
Especially when he mentioned the calamity.
Was Nash his calamity?
As long as he could get rid of Nash, who would dare to go against
him?
Duncan replied respectfully, âPlease show me the ways.â
âAlrightâ¦â
The old man smiled perfunctorily. The way he held the flask was a
little unnatural.
Duncan grinned. âDonât worry, letâs go have a drink first.â
The old man beamed.
Boris also gestured to him. âAfter you, sir.â
The old man smiled even wider now.
When he was about to enter the villa, the old man stopped.
Duncan and Boris were confused.
The old man took out a golden rune from his bag. Then, he bit his finger and started drawing some runic incantation on it with his blood. At the same time, he was also murmuring some spells to
himself.
After he drew on the golden rune, it turned into a green flame and flew
away.
The old man chuckled. âI helped you chase away a rat.â
Immediately after he said that, a wail of pain came from the back of
the villa.
Borisâ face fell, and he quickly jumped onto the back wall of the villa.
Then, he saw a man rolling on the ground while covered in flames.
Every inch of his skin was on fire as if he had been doused in
gasoline.
After a few minutes, he was burned to ashes.
Boris waved, and a gust of wind carried the ashes away.
The man disappeared from this world as if he had never appeared.
Back in the villa, Boris told Duncan what happened.
âGosh, we had no idea that we were being watched!â Duncanâs face
was dark as he looked at the leader of the bodyguards.
