My Substitute CEO Bride

"Points?!" Jake and Alfius asked in unison.

"Exactly," Nash began to explain his understanding. "If what the God of Equilibrium does is absolutely fair, then the gains must be balanced by risks. It guides us to perform tasks but also gives us choices.

"Probably because this barrier seeks absolute balance as well, all judgments are not made by the God of Equilibrium. Such subjective choices wouldn't fall under 'balance.' Instead, an objective point system is used as the basis." Jake frowned and was deep in thought. At this moment, Alfius voiced his doubts, "Even so, these concepts are created by the God of Equilibrium. Can they truly be absolutely fair?"

"Go and count the dead and injured." Nash pointed to the crowd. "Since the wolves arrived last night, their main targets were people from our clan. All six who died were from our clan, and most of the ten injured were from our clan too. "Let me ask you one more thing. Why is it that out of all the injured, only Sven has a high fever?"

Alfius suddenly understood. "Because he snitched?"

"Exactly!" Nash nodded. "If the concept that points gained is proportional to the danger faced is absolute, then Sven's act of snitching reduced the danger to our clan, which violates this rule. That's why only he has a high fever." "So, what do we do next?" Jake asked.

Nash shook his head. "If we stop doing tasks, everyone will be safe. But we can't predict what will happen next week. I need to take care of Sven for a few days. His injuries aren't serious, but the persistent fever is dangerous." "What do you think, Jake?" Alfius asked.

Jake looked at the injured people

and rubbed his eyes with a worried expression, "Alfius, how about we let both clans stay together for now?1

our forces to handle any other emergencies." novelbin

Alfius nodded. "I think the same. I'll continue searching around the mountain to see if I can find other survivors."

After making their plan, the three

began to get busy. Nash returned to

a small shelter next to the main one As the leaders feared Sven's might be contagious, they had placed him in a more remote

location away from the main

gathering area.

Seeing that Sven's condition had not improved, Nash was troubled. Although he considered himself somewhat of a doctor, he did not know what to do without any supplies. At this moment, Marie walked in. "Nash..."

"What is it, Marie?"

Marie looked around to make sure no one was nearby before cautiously approaching Nash. "I... I have something to tell you..."

"Oh?" Seeing Marie's mysterious behavior, Nash was curious. "What is it?"

Marie stammered, "Yesterday... early

in the morning... I found a leaf next

to my bed... with writing on it in

some unknown liquid. It was telling meu me to... leave the clan after the

bonfire was lit."

"What?!" Nash was shocked. "Where's the leaf?"

Marie pulled out a crumpled leaf from her pocket. Nash took the leaf and sniffed it. Apart from the smell of sweat and the leaf itself, the scent on the writing was...

"Is this for real..."
