My Substitute CEO Bride

Lumi rested her hand on the mouse for a bit before clicking into another encrypted folder. After going through some tedious motions, a surveillance video popped out. In the video, Stellar was seen bandaging his own wound. There was a palm-sized black lotus mark on his back.

"He doesn't look like he has any cultivation," Nash commented.

"Who said members of the church must be martial artists?" Lumi chuckled. "They could be CEOs of companies or even rulers of a city. Either way, they are definitely elites in some field."

Nash continued to browse through the list, purposely letting his eyes glaze over familiar names. Lumi pointed at a name with her fair fingers and said, "This person is in Jonford!" Then, she clicked on the name with the mouse.

Casey Sazza, CEO of the Starlight Group in Jonford. Starlight Group was the chip company that only engaged in foreign trade.

Nash took a deep breath. "Tomorrow, you'll go and arrest him." Then, he stared at the two and asked, "If you knew about him earlier, why didn't you bring him in for interrogation?"

"Three months ago, we captured a member of the church. Just as we were about to interrogate him, however, he spontaneously combusted. There was nothing left, not even ashes. We suspect the lotus mark has a special power that restrains them," Lumi explained.

Nash's lips curled. "Have you guys been planning for me to take over the Celestial Dragon Squadron all along to leave me with all these troubles?"

Lumi lowered her beautiful eyes. "No, we only met you yesterday." Her ears turned red as she said that.

Nash could tell she was lying, but he could not do anything about it. He had accepted both the Nine Dragons Sword and the documents. This was the classic case of 'with great power comes great responsibility'.

"Oh, by the way, can I see how your abilities work?" Nash asked as he wanted to understand their abilities. He had traveled to many countries and met many people, but he had never met Espers. Perhaps they were just very good at hiding their abilities.

"Sure," Lumi replied. "My ability is water. I can control any body of water," Lumi said in a voice as melodious as an oriole's. With a wave of her fair hand, the water in the teacup floated in the air. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nash activated his Third Eye, but he could not see how the water was suspended. Was it spiritual power? It could not manipulate physical objects, though.

Nash's eyes turned completely golden, and in his sight, Lumi gradually became transparent.

He noted that Lumi's spiritual power had been transformed into another kind of power, which was then used to control the water.

"So, that's how it works," Nash muttered as his eyes narrowed. It was the power of attributes.

Cultivators could only manifest this

power when they reached the Profound Oriental Realm while Espers awakened this power- automatically based on their constitution.

"Lumi, that's enough. He's seen through you," Euria said coldly.

"Huh?" Lumi put down her hand and covered her chest. She shot Nash a look, her face flushing red.

Nash rubbed his nose. "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. I didn't see anything!"

Lumi pouted. "Nose rubbing is a sign of guilt, and guilt means you're lying!"

Nash coughed awkwardly and chuckled before looking at Euria. "Show me your ability!"

Euria coldly snorted. "What, my sister isn't enough? You want to look at me too?"

Lumi hurriedly pulled at her sister's clothes. "Euria, you can't talk to the commander like that!" A commander was comparable to a general, and both were two ranks higher than them.

Euria took a deep breath, then pushed her hands forward. The water in the teacup instantly turned into ice spikes and shot toward the wall.

"My sister has the ability of ice. She can condense water into ice and even convert her true energy into ice!" Lumi explained.

Nash stood up and yawned. He stretched azily then walked out casually, "I can't understand you guys, wearing those cartoonish little panties despite being full-grown adults."

"You jerk!"

"Pervert!"
