My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1366

Jaxon glanced up at Nash and smiled. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

While Bertram scratched his head, Carlos asked next to him, “How many kings are left?”

Carlos thought for a moment. “Seems like there are none left.”

“Going for a blast!” Bertram announced and threw out four nines, nearly breaking the table. Having lost so much, he had to win back enough to cover his losses this round. Carlos’ expression brightened. “Can’t beat that!” He and Bertram were teammates, and Jaxon was the landlord. With a base amount of a thousand, a blast had doubled it to two thousand.

Jaxon leisurely laid down four tens on the table. “A blast from me too and I have one card left.”

Carlos hesitated, as he still had four Jacks and two single cards.

“Take the risk!” Nash egged.

Hearing this, Carlos immediately threw out his four Jacks and then played his highest card, a king.

“The Light guides.” Jaxon laid down his last card, an ace.

“I don’t have cash. Raincheck this,” Bertram murmured.

Felicity smiled and produced a payment QR code. “Nope, no owing allowed.”

Reluctantly, Bertram took out his phone to scan the code and paid what he owed, which was 8,000. He could feel the sting. Carlos begrudgingly did the same.

Upon receiving the payment notification, Felicity’s smile grew wide.

Jaxon glanced back at Felicity. “Miss Felicity, we agreed to split it evenly. You can’t go back on your word.”

Felicity went to the side with the money and puffed arrogantly. “I taught you how to play the game. You haven’t paid me my fees yet, so consider this money as that!”

Jaxon sighed helplessly. He did not have any money now but felt awkward asking Felicity for some. He had finally won some money, but she was not willing to share.

“Where’s Eric?” Nash suddenly asked. He planned to have Eric’s group join the Celestial Dragon Squadron. Since they needed to confront the Grim Reaper Guild, they had to strengthen their forces.

“He’s with his girlfriend,” Felicity said resentfully, glancing at Jaxon. She had been with Jaxon for so long, yet they had not even hold hands. She was starting to give up on him.

Nash pondered for a moment and then left the room.

Eric, Regulus, and Cillian were not there, so he would just have to broach the topic of the squadron on the group chat.

He went to Cillian’s room. He was sitting cross-legged on the couch, surrounded by a hazy halo. Seemingly aware of someone entering, Cillian opened his eyes and looked at Nash with an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry I couldn’t complete the task you gave me.”

“You can’t be blamed for this. That superwarrior was extraordinary. I had to use all my tricks just to kill him.”

Then, Nash took out a black plaque the size of a palm from his storage ring. “This is the formation plaque to activate the Heaven and Earth Extinction Formation. Keep it safe!”

“You mean…” Cillian trembled slightly.

“For a long time, Drakonia has had ten Golden Amulet Masters. Since Yulia was corrupt and stripped of her title, you shall take her place.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Nash had already thought of who to replace Yulia after finishing his call with her. Cillian was his unequivocal choice.

“Thank you for your trust, Master Nash.”

“You should focus on healing for now.” After saying this, Nash left the room.

Skadi hurried over with Yoyo in her arms. “Nash… How is Hera doing?

“She’s fine now.”

“And Cillian?”

“He’s recovering.”

“Then I won’t disturb him. I’ll go check on Hera. Which room is she in?”

“Hera didn’t sleep well last night, so she’s catching up on sleep.”
