My Substitute CEO Bride

"That's the Eastern Governor-General!" The village chief gasped. His facial muscles trembled.

Apart from the Four Military Generals, Drakonia also had four governor-generals. The military generals were in charge of the country externally, while the governor-generals took care of the nation internally.

The governors had no military power but held supreme power. They could also mobilize local inspections.

"Hahaha..." Rooney laughed out loud abruptly.

She was a Jenzburg native. She knew these people who stood at the pinnacle of power in Jenzburg. She did not expect her cousin's connections to have expanded to Jenzburg.

"Nash and Hera, even God can't save you today. Mark my words..." Disheveled, Rooney stood up holding her inflamed wrists. She said with a ferocious smile like a crazy woman, "I admit I can't beat you in Jonford, but in Jenzburg, you're still far beneath me..." Suddenly, she glared at Hera. "Your people destroyed my hand... I'll kill you today!"

With that, she blocked the Eastern Governor-General's way and said excitedly, "Lord Governor, you must be here at my cousin's request. These people committed unforgivable crimes in front of my cousin. Please, Governor-General, bring them to justice before the law!" Emory looked confused. "Who's your cousin?"

Rooney thought, 'What? He doesn't know my cousin? Then who called for him? Something's wrong... No, the governor-general just doesn't know me. That's why he doesn't know who my cousin is.'

Rooney said, "My cousin is Jimeney Yaar, the chief of Huevo County!"

"Are you Jimeney Yaar?" Emory gave Jimeney a side-eye. He had no idea who Jimeney was.

The reason Emory came to Stonywood Village was because the Southern Governor-General asked him to attend a funeral on his behalf.

Jimeney looked stern, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Greetings, Governor-General! I'm the chief of Huevo County."

He thought, 'The governor-general knows me. Is he really here for me?'

At this moment, a Path taker in red robes came out and asked loudly, "The funeral procession is about to start. Why aren't the Eight Immortals here yet?"

The red-robed Path taker immediately paused as he saw the commotion outside.

He thought, 'Shit! What's going on? Who's this deceased old lady?'

Adam was distraught. "Can we push the burial time back? It seems that there's no way to hold a funeral now!"

The red-robed Path taker gulped and

said, "If you want to follow our customs here, the coffin will be raised at 8:00 pm today and buried at 8:30pm. If you miss this time, you have to wait another three

days!"

"Hahaha... A burial? I'm here today. How dare this damn Maria Temby..." Nash gave one powerful kick.

Rooney flew ten meters away like a kite with broken strings. Her heavyset body hit an inspection vehicle, and the windshield shattered. Rooney rolled from the hood to the ground and vomited blood.

"Preposterous... How dare you commit violence in front of the Governor-General?!" Ruben Privett took out the pistol from his holster and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The next moment, however, his head fell to the ground.

Everyone on the scene gasped. The only sound heard was the voices of exclamation from the Tembys.

Ruben was dead. He was beheaded!

His decapitated head was at Jimeney's feet.

The Nine Dragons Sword in Nash's hand was pointing diagonally at the ground.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Scarlet blood dripped onto the ground along the tip of the sword, but each drop felt like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.
