My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1105
âHello, this is Nash. Iâd like to borrow 60 billion.â
âNash?â Samâs tone carried a hint of surprise. âIs this the same Nash
who Theo knows?â
Nash murmured in affirmation.
âI can do that, but the interest will be 10%.â
Nash smiled wryly. âSorry for the trouble.â
With that, he immediately ended the call. After returning the phone to
Eva, Nash looked at Bruce expressionlessly and said, âI donât want the
Dragon Phoenix Pendant anymore. Please give it to the person in
Heaven Box 15. Iâll cover the five billion difference!â
The person in Box Room 15 had only bid 60 billion, while he bid an
extra five. Since he could not come up with the money now, he
naturally had to make up for the five billion difference.
Seeing Nashâs gloomy expression and hearing his disappointed ton
Eva said apologetically, âMr. Calcraft, Iâm really sorry Iâm not able to
help you.â
Nash smiled but said nothing. He already guessed that Roxy was
behind this. He had only taken a billion of her cash, and now she was trying every possible way to swindle him out of ten billion. Did she think he would fall for it so easily?
âMy young friend, the auction houseâs rule is that the sale is final. The
Great Eastern Tower doesnât entertain refunds.â

Nash narrowed his eyes. âAre you suggesting I have to borrow this 60
billion?â
Bruce nodded. âYou can choose not to borrow the sum, but we need
to proceed with the transaction for this pendant.â
Nash stared at the old man. He did not sense any spiritual fluctuation
emanating from him but still felt a shiver down his spine. Bruce was
obviously a formidable cultivator in the Profound Oriental Realm.
Eva tugged at Nashâs sleeve. âMr. Calcraft, I think youâre being
targeted!â
Nash smiled indifferently at that. âSince my strength is lacking, I have
nothing to say.â
With that, he raised his right hand and took out the five billion in cash.
Despite the spaciousness of the room, the cash only occupied a
small portion of the space.
âHereâs five billion in cash. After the auction ends, you can deduct ten
billion from the proceeds of my auctioned pills.â
Sometimes, discretion was the better part of valor. Nash decide
step back since he lacked power and influence in Munford. There
would come a day when he would have the four major Chambers
Commerce kneeling at his feet. That day would not be far off.
Bruce looked surprised. âYouâre the one auctioning off the Elixir of
Youth and the Gold Essence Pill?â
Eva piped up just then, âExactly! Mr. Calcraft brought many pills with him. The two pills sold earlier were just the tip of the iceberg!â

Bruce was merely the guardian of the Great Eastern Tower and rarely
delved into internal affairs. His ignorance of the pillsâ source was not
surprising.
âAre you the one who refined them?â
Bruce asked again, his deep eyes staring fixedly at Nash. No lies
could escape his scrutiny.
âItâs just a pile of low-grade pills. Anyone can make them with a little skill,â Nash responded, tone dripping with arrogance and confidence.
âAnyone can make them?â Eva could not help but feel that Nash was
bragging.
Bruceâs pupils trembled. He did not see lies in Nashâs eyes. Instead,
he caught a hint of disdain, as if refining those pills was truly
effortless for him.
âIs the pendant mine now?â Nash asked expressionlessly.
Bruce nodded and instructed the beautiful attendant to hand the
pendant over to Nash.
âYes, sir,â the attendant replied and carried the tray to Nash.
Nash picked up the pendant without hesitation and said bluntly, âY
can leave now. I prefer to have some quiet.â
Bruce gave Nash a deep look. âYou donât need to repay the interest
anymore. Iâve offended you just now. I apologize. I hope youâll forgive me.â With that said, Bruce made a gesture of apology by clasping his hands together.
