My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 776
Eric gritted his teeth as he drew a sharp intake of breath. The veins on his neck popped while his eyes turned even more bloodshot.
Atlas stared at his masterâs wound, which looked like a burn wound. The redness of the wound had faded significantly, but it had not fully faded yet.
âMaster, why
y donât we get Master Nash to look at your wound?â
âNo⦠Itâs alright!â
Eric was in so much pain that he began shuddering.
Despite that, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to withstand the pain. There was no way he would let Nash know the ghoul had one- upped him.
The silhouettes of Atlas and the two maids had turned red in Ericâs eyes. This was a sign that the ghoul poison was attacking his heart. He bit his tongue so that he could remain conscious. âHelp⦠Help me. back to my roomâ¦â
Atlas helped Eric up from the couch and slung one of his arms over Ericâs shoulders before helping the man make his way to his room.
Winnie watched them walk away. She had a worried look on her face as she said, âOh no, he wonât turn into a zombie, will he? In the zombie films I watch, everyone ends up turning into a zombie themselves if theyâre bitten by one!â
Jesebel frowned slightly. âHeâs a Golden Amulet Master, so heâll
probably have some way of keeping the poison under control!â
Inside the room on the second floor, Atlas placed Eric on a bed.
Eric flapped the sleeves of his robe and used a gust of true energy to push Atlas out of the room. The door slammed shut with a
resounding bang. âDonât let anyone else in here!â
Atlasâ brows knitted themselves together as he debated if he should call Nash or not.
Nash and Hera had returned to Royal Bay.
After dropping Hera off at home, Nash said, âIâm going to go check on things in the basement, but Iâll spend some time with you later!â
Hera nodded. âIâm going to visit Melody!â
Nash headed to the basement to check on the medicinal stones
inside the divine cauldron.
The surface of the three medicinal stones were beginning to turn red.
Based on current progress, it would take over another 20 hours.
Nash headed toward Royal Bay Villa 14 after leaving the basement.
Harrisonâs car pulled to a stop at the main entrance just as he arrived.
Jasper, dressed in a suit, got out and opened the door for Harrison
and Lauren.
âThank you!â
âThank you!â
The two walked into the courtyard after thanking him politely.
âMom, Dad!â
Nash smiled as he said hello.
âNashy, I heard youâre working at Universal Group now?â
Lauren asked, an interested expression on her face.
âThatâs right. Today was my first day,â Nash answered as he nodded.
âOh, Nashyâ¦â
Harrison was about to speak to Nash when Lauren stepped on his
foot. Then, she turned to Nash and smiled as she said, âYouâre
heading out now, arenât you? Go do whatever it is you need to do!â
Of course, Nash knew what Harrison had on his mind and smiled
gently as he said, âIâll come up with a plan regarding Heraâs
collaboration with Universal Group!â
When he finished speaking, he walked out the door and gave Jasper a long look.
âAhem.. Well⦠I heard news about where my master was
the day off. I didnât expect an accident to happen the minute
all my fault!â Jasper hurriedly explained.
âThis is not to be repeated!â
Nashâs voice was flat but stern.
Jasper swore in all seriousness, âI swear that if anything like this
happens in the future, Iâll die an untimely death!â
ok
At that, the look on Nashâs face turned less ugly. He asked, âSo, have
you found your master?â
Jasper smiled sadly. âAll I found was a gravestone⦠The villagers living nearby told me he died three years ago!â
Nash bade him peace inwardly.
It would be difficult for a legendary assassin to escape death forever.
Nashâs footsteps were light as he headed toward Royal Bay Villa 14.
His brows knitted themselves together as he arrived at the door.
Such intense corpse energy.
Had Eric brought it home with him?
He got on his tiptoes and jumped straight into the courtyard. Then, he sprinted into the living room at the speed of light.
Winnie, who had been eating a banana, was so surprised she nearly
deepthroated it.
Atlas was smoking on the couch while Jesebel was working in
kitchen with an apron tied around her waist.
