My Substitute CEO Bride

The Sandhunter Tribe did not have any special thoughts after saving the world. They were still riding their horses and camels, galloping in the vast grasslands and deserts.

Freedom was everything to them. They were content if they could spend every day without any worries. Toby exclaimed with glee, "Hey, I caught a hare! We're in for a treat tonight!"

The one who had experienced the biggest change should be Benedict.noveldrama

Sure enough, he settled many matters for the Varhess family and the Divine Strategy Squadron after the battle. Then, he came to Apexel Mountain.

Everything here made him relax. Perhaps he relished in the fleeting moment of an escape. In short, he was very happy because he found something here that he had long lost before.

"What is it..."

Octavian stumbled over at this time and said, "Hey! Gubler, what are you doing?"

Gubler was Benedict's new name, also a code name.

"Octavian, you came just in time. I know you have a sharp mind, so take a look at this."

"Oh? A riddle... When did you grow fond of such things?"

"Riddle?" Benedict shook his head and said, "No, this was given to me by the grandmaster when our master took me to meet him. To be honest, I don't get it..."

"I see..." Octavian closed the note.

Benedict felt puzzled by his actions and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you close it?"

Octavian explained, "The grandmaster will give each disciple who comes up the mountain a note. He said that the note is something that we'd need to spend our lives trying to understand, so... you should keep it for yourself."

Immediately afterward, Octavian crossed the threshold and walked outside. Suddenly, he paused as if he remembered something. He turned around and said to Benedict, "By the way, I'm here to tell you it's dinner time! Come on, hurry up!"

Benedict hurriedly followed along and exclaimed, "I'm coming!"

Inside a cabin in the woods, Sterling was chopping up some beef ribs.

It was so noisy that Lenyra could not fall asleep. She grumbled, "It's so early in the morning. What are you doing?"

Then, she saw the large stack of ribs.

"Ooh, ribs! Where did they come from?!"

"Master Nash brought them over. He

said that an anonymous sender

gave them a whole lot, but they couldn't finish it. So, he shared some with us."

"Oh, that's great! Let's have some barbecued ribs today!"

"That's what I thought too!"

"Yeah! Sterling, you're the best!"

"By the way... is it really okay for you to do this?" Sterling asked.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a big company waiting for

you to take over, but here you are et Esd put it... Here you a

suffering with me..."

Lenyra turned her head away with a pout before stomping out angrily.

Sterling knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he continued chopping the ribs quietly. He was not trying to ignore Lenyra, but he just wanted to give her space to think about it.

Outside, Xenith was basking in the sun leisurely but was given a kick by Lenyra. "Oh my! Who pissed you off, Miss Davenport?"
