My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2262

"Yeah, you really are easy to deceive," Helio repeated the same words spoken by the fake Dahlia. He had known from first contact that the person was not Dahlia. Hence, he decided to turn the situation to his advantage. 'Helio' dissipated into nothing; it had been a mirage—merely a decoy.

The real Helio did not appear. Instead, he was using the Rat's power to alter the shadow barrier. The fake Dahlia transformed into a one-eyed monster, searching for Helio.

However, because Helio had opened his own portal to enter the shadow barrier, he was not affected by the creature's power. Realizing it had no other option, the monster pulled the real Dahlia out from a dark shadow.

It then smugly taunted, "Boy! Didn't you come here to save her? Come on! Show yourself!"

The creature was still overly confident. It believed no one could escape its grasp within its own barrier.

Helio stepped out from the shadows.

Seizing the opportunity, the monster unleashed countless void shadows at him, attempting to absorb him into the barrier.

However, when everything settled down, Helio reappeared before the creature, completely unharmed.

A grin spread across Helio's face as he burst into laughter. "Haha, that was interesting! How about you try that trick again?"

Then, the sudden turn of events left the monster in a panic. It stared at Helio in disbelief, shouting, "Impossible! Impossible! I am the God of Shadows! How could this happen?"
