My Substitute CEO Bride

As long as he consumed it, everything would be restored. Everyone who had

sacrificed their lives in this battle, as well as those who had been absorbed by the Celestial Tree, could return. However, his father, Maxim, would die here along with the giant tree.

Thresmund's hands trembled uncontrollably.

The surface of the fruit continuously scorched his hand, yet he still dared not swallow it.

Enduring the pain, he looked resolutely at Maxim. Maxim merely nodded slightly. Thresmund's tears flowed uncontrollably.

He did not want to lose his father, the one who had brought him out of that dark laboratory.

Maxim had shown him what familial love was. In his eyes, Maxim was his real father.

Now, he was about to kill him for the sake of the so-called greater good.

How could this be...

"Dad, I..."

"Quickly eat it, my child. Don't be sad for me. My sins are already incredibly heavy. No matter what, I want to rest now."

"Dad..."

Thresmund's tears continued to flow, but Maxim shouted loudly, "Thresmund!"

Thresmund looked at his father.noveldrama

"Dad..."

"Now, you'll officially become the leader of the Lindejon Collective. I want you to swear before me! From now on, you must carry my will and live bravely no matter what.

"Never cry again! Never be lost again! You must become a competent leader, a powerful leader! Do you hear me?!"

Thresmund felt immense pain.

He understood his father's intentions.

He lifted his head and took a deep breath. With choked words, he firmly declared,

"I won't let you down! I'll become... a strong person... I swear."

With that, Thresmund devoured the fruit. Seeing this, Maxim smiled with relief. He gently patted Thresmund's shoulder.

"Then, good luck."

A surge of golden light emerged.

Thresmund became an entity on par with the Celestial Tree, yet he remained a being with emotions.

At the same time, the Celestial Tree began to fulfill Maxim's wish.

A holy light shot into the sky.

Soon, the power of the Celestial Tree transformed into new points of light. It began reviving all living things, restoring everything to its original state, including the destroyed buildings and the slain people.

...

A month later, Anox and Teresa's wedding was held as scheduled.

Kalo and the others were busy beyond measure.

"Hey, Chevy! Why aren't you here yet? How can we do this without the main planner?"

"Oh, stop it." Chevy ran over from behind Kalo.

"I already said I was in a meeting. I'm really fed up."

"Quick, the wedding car will be here soon."

"Don't worry, I'm keeping track of the time. There's still five minutes left."

At that moment, Thresmund walked over. "Chevy, how do I tie this tie?"

"Wait, I'll help you."

Meanwhile, Huntley sat nearby, munching on some pistachios.

Chevy suddenly shouted at him, "Huntley, you jerk! How can you still be eating? I

told you it's a hassle to clean up!"

"Oh, relax. I can hide the shells under the table."

"You!" Kalo walked up to Huntley.

"I called you here to help, not to make things worse."

"What do you need help with anyway? Enid and the others said I could just come

to have fun."

"Ugh, you bastard!"
