My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 72
Chapter 72
He was not Mr. Lee?
Joseph was stunned.
Olivia was flabbergasted.
Everyone in the Lee family stared at the old man in Stellar’s hands.
Who else could he be other than Mr. Lee?
Stellar reached behind Mr. Lee’s ear and fumbled around.
However, he did not manage to locate the human-skin mask’s seal.
Stellar began growing nervous.
It did not seem like a human-skin mask…. Could this person be Mr. Lee himself?
Just as Stellar was about to descend into panic, Nash said weakly, “Rip his clothes off…”
“Stop…”
Stellar had placed Mr. Lee’s corpse on the ground and was just about to rip his clothes off when Joseph stood up and stopped
him.
His father had been his idol ever since he was a child.
He was the one thing that kept him going.

Joseph had yet to come to terms with the fact he had just witnessed his father’s murder.
Now, he could not care less that the warden was present, nor did he care who Stellar was.
He glared at Stellar and said bitterly, “My father is already dead, yet you’re going to rip his clothes off. Are you going to deprive him of what little dignity he has left?”
At that same time, Olivia learned from the Lee family bodyguards that a killer had been spotted outside just a while ago.
Olivia whispered, “A killer from the West?”
The bodyguard nodded and said, “That’s right. That killer died in the hands of the masked man!”
Olivia narrowed her eyes, her heart racing.
A killer wanted to murder the warden.
The masked man was the warden’s bodyguard.
The fact that he had killed her grandfather meant something about her grandfather might have been amiss!
Then, Stellar said before everyone, “I… Stellar Orwell, colonel of the Northern Territory’s ninth army, swear this on my life. If this person is indeed Mr. Lee, I will offer up my life to apologize for my offense!”
The look on everyone’s faces immediately changed when they heard that.
They could not believe he was a colonel!!!
Even Joseph got some sense knocked back into him after learning who Stellar was.
He stumbled a few steps backward.
Then, Olivia walked over to her father and whispered, “Dad, I just heard that a killer tried to assassinate the warden just now, and this masked man was the one who saved him!”
Joseph shuddered as he stared at his daughter in shock. He worried his lips with his teeth, unable to say a word.
If the warden were assassinated, It would cause a major problem that involved war.
Moreover, if the warden were killed at the Lee estate, there was no doubt they would be shunned by the public.
Olivia walked over to Stellar and said, “Please, colonel, verify this person’s identity!”
After gaining permission from the Lee family…
Stellar ripped Mr. Lee’s clothes off his body.
They immediately noticed his body was wrinkle-free.
His pecs and abs were so well-defined that some of the young heirs blushed in shame.
A faint white line could be seen on his chest.
Stellar pinched that line using his nails and managed to lift an extremely thin piece of human skin.
It was a disguise made from synthetic skin and was so well-made that it was difficult to detect.
Mr. Lee’s true face was thus revealed to the audience.
He was a mixed race, middle aged man.”
The warden bent down before Nash and asked worriedly, “How are you feeling… Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Nash slowly retrieved seven snake-shaped gold needles from his pocket.
He secretly channeled his inner energy as he swiftly stabbed the seven gold needles in the area surrounding his wound. The toxins on the gold needles killed the virus, and his clotting factors returned to normal.
His wound finally stopped bleeding around three minutes later.
Before Nash managed to stand up, six different murderous auras blanketed the area.
Everyone shuddered.
Then…
Six people clad in black and various masks leaped from the mansion’s top floor.
They landed on the ground, light as a feather.
The one who seemed to be their leader said in a heavily accented voice, “Smiling Grim Reaper… I wasn’t expecting to see you here…”
“Shawn!”
“You’re still alive…”
Nash stared at the man dressed in black in shock.
Shawn was a killer from Balaria.
Once, he had ranked third on the Dark Web Killer Leaderboard. Six years ago, he and Shawn had received the same mission.
