My Substitute CEO Bride

"Then let me ask you, when people first learn to walk, what's their purpose?"

"Isn't that obvious? It's for survival. Survival of the fittest. If a person doesn't learn to walk, they can't even..." Nash trailed off, his brows furrowing slightly as if Talroth's words had clicked in his head.

"That's right, survival. But instead of 'purpose,' I think the word 'instinct' fits better. No one knew how to walk at the beginning, so how did humans initially learn to? The answer is simple.

"Ultimately, it's a matter of 'enlightenment,' understanding our instincts and realizing our existence. I suggest you go and take a walk without a purpose. Go wherever you want and experience different worlds. It might help you with your bottleneck." "I understand, Master Talroth. I'll head out right now!" Nash said, standing up to leave.

"Wait, Nash," Talroth quickly called out to him.

Nash turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's the matter, Master Talroth?"

"Affairs of the mortal world may distract you. I have a solution for that," Talroth replied. "Oh? Please tell me, Master."novelbin

"The Art of Roaming," Talroth said, taking out a manual from his robe. "This is a technique passed down through generations in my sect. It allows one to roam a hundred miles without moving a step, to experience the four seasons in an instant." "Is it really that amazing?" Nash's eyes lit up as he sat beside Talroth, who handed him the manual. He immediately opened the manual and started reading.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This is amazing!"

"Angela! Angela!" A blond young man called out anxiously from the ruins of a hall.

"Where are you? Angela? Your brother is here to take you home!

"Oh my goodness, I hope she's okay."

At that moment, a man in a suit appeared in front of the young man.

"You're Angela's brother, Ben, yes?" The man in the suit removed his bat and lowered his head courteously. "I'm very sorry, Ben. This may come as a shock to you, but I must tell you... Oh, it's terrible."

At the news about his sister, Ben urgently asked, "Where's my sister?!"

"Oh, sir, please don't be so agitated. Your sister completed her mission admirably. She was a wonderful girl. She sacrificed her precious life for our great god, Eider. I'm deeply moved." en

"Sacrificed her life?" Ben repeated, his

"You mean... My sister! What happened to her?!"

Ben threw a punch at the man in the suit. Before his fist could land, however, some invisible force knocked him down.

"Such rudeness, my goodness. Shouldn't you be happy for her?"

"You forced her to that!" Ben shouted angrily.

"Oh, sir, please don't put it that way. We simply call it... a transaction."
