My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1105

“Hello, this is Nash. I’d like to borrow 60 billion.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Nash?” Sam’s tone carried a hint of surprise. “Is this the same Nash

who Theo knows?”

Nash murmured in affirmation.

“I can do that, but the interest will be 10%.”

Nash smiled wryly. “Sorry for the trouble.”

With that, he immediately ended the call. After returning the phone to

Eva, Nash looked at Bruce expressionlessly and said, “I don’t want the

Dragon Phoenix Pendant anymore. Please give it to the person in

Heaven Box 15. I’ll cover the five billion difference!”

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 Nash’s gloomy expression and hearing his disappointed ton

Eva said apologetically, “Mr. Calcraft, I’m really sorry I’m not able to

help you.”

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?

“My young friend, the auction house’s rule is that the sale is final. The

Great Eastern Tower doesn’t entertain refunds.”

Nash narrowed his eyes. “Are you suggesting I have to borrow this 60

billion?”

Bruce nodded. “You can choose not to borrow the sum, but we need

to proceed with the transaction for this pendant.”

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 Nash’s sleeve. “Mr. Calcraft, I think you’re being

targeted!”

Nash smiled indifferently at that. “Since my strength is lacking, I have

nothing to say.”

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.

“Here’s five billion in cash. After the auction ends, you can deduct ten

billion from the proceeds of my auctioned pills.”

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. “You’re the one auctioning off the Elixir of

Youth and the Gold Essence Pill?”

Eva piped up just then, “Exactly! Mr. Calcraft brought many pills with him. The two pills sold earlier were just the tip of the iceberg!”

Bruce was merely the guardian of the Great Eastern Tower and rarely

delved into internal affairs. His ignorance of the pills’ source was not

surprising.

“Are you the one who refined them?”

Bruce asked again, his deep eyes staring fixedly at Nash. No lies

could escape his scrutiny.

“It’s just a pile of low-grade pills. Anyone can make them with a little skill,” Nash responded, tone dripping with arrogance and confidence.

“Anyone can make them?” Eva could not help but feel that Nash was

bragging.

Bruce’s pupils trembled. He did not see lies in Nash’s eyes. Instead,

he caught a hint of disdain, as if refining those pills was truly

effortless for him.

“Is the pendant mine now?” Nash asked expressionlessly.

Bruce nodded and instructed the beautiful attendant to hand the

pendant over to Nash.

“Yes, sir,” the attendant replied and carried the tray to Nash.

Nash picked up the pendant without hesitation and said bluntly, “Y

can leave now. I prefer to have some quiet.”

Bruce gave Nash a deep look. “You don’t need to repay the interest

anymore. I’ve offended you just now. I apologize. I hope you’ll forgive me.” With that said, Bruce made a gesture of apology by clasping his hands together.
