My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1133

Austin let out a sigh. "My eyes are acting up, and I'm seeing double. Why else would I have asked you to drive earlier?"

Elsabeth immediately felt sorry for him and took the keys. "I'll drive!"

Nash shifted his gaze from Austin and took the keys. "I can drive!"

Austin stayed quiet. From his gaze, he was indeed causing Nash trouble.

Melody and Elsabeth settled into the back seat, while Austin took the front passenger seat.

Nash questioned, "What's 'the old place' you're talking about?"

"Just type 'The Old Place' into your GPS. It's a bar's name!" Elsabeth replied.

Nash typed 'The Old Place' into the GPS.

40 minutes later, Nash pulled up to a parking lot outside the ancient town of Phoenicia.

Of all the ancient towns in Xanthalos, Phoenicia was the most renowned.

He strolled to a bar named 'The Old Place'.

The first floor was bustling with patrons enjoying their drinks.

The second floor was reserved for dining.

At the bar's entrance, there was a woman who looked to be about Melody's age.

She was wearing a business outfit and seemed tired, probably from just finishing work.

"Mel... Elsie..."

She walked up and embraced them both.

Then, she turned to Austin and greeted him cheerfully.

"This is my friend, Nash. And Tina here is my college buddy!" Melody introduced.

Tina extended her hand to Nash, saying, "Hello!"

Nash casually shook her hand and greeted her back.

Melody gave a small, knowing smile. "We have to face our fears sooner or later. And I'm not alone this time," she said.

She gave Nash, who was next to her, a quick look.

She might not stand a chance against the Palmers and the Eves on her own.

However, she had Nash.

Elsabeth glanced over at Nash and gave a quiet chuckle. "Mel, you might not know, but those four Palmer brothers are now big shots in the Profound Reality Realm."

Melody raised an eyebrow. "Just two months ago, they were still struggling to get there, no?"

Elsabeth nodded. "Well, a month back, they dug up a Blood Spirit Ganoderma in the Frostine Mountain mines. That thing boosted them right up to the top, and they even threw a huge party for all the movers and shakers in town!"

Melody took a sip from her glass and looked curious. "You're not a fighter, so how come you're up to speed on all this?"

The Palmers were four top-notch experts who had just reached the Profound Reality Realm, and they threw a big party to celebrate. It made sense, but surely they would not blab about finding the rare Blood Spirit Ganoderma, would they?

Tina chimed in, "Elsie shelled out more than three million at the martial arts forum to snag that intel!"
