My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1236

"It's okay, you did great!"

Nash helped Robert up and said, "I had a hunch you were being threatened when I picked up your call, so I understand your predicament. It's not your fault!"

He then took out his phone and checked his WhatsApp group chat to see if the others were done.

Bertram was the first to inform the group.

He sent a 'mission accomplished' gif three minutes ago.

Ash also sent a text message one minute ago.

Nash texted: [Done on my side.]

Not long after, Carlos, Ayne, and Eric also reported in.

Nash then sent a voice message asking them to bring all the apprentices here.

After waiting a little longer, Nash noticed Felicity and Jaxon had not reported in.

Nash frowned slightly.

Did they run into unexpected trouble?

Jaxon was exceptionally skilled. He should not have any problem even if he were up against two of the Freeman brothers.

Felicity texted in the group: [Mission accomplished.]

Seeing her reply, Nash breathed out a sigh of relief.

All was well. They just had to travel farther than the rest, hence the late reply.

...

Arthur and the four Freeman brothers were drinking tea at the family villa.

Harold said with gritted teeth, "I didn't expect Nash to have such powerful friends!"

They got word about Nash retaking the Martial Arts Association.

In the event that any one of the martial arts halls was retaken from them, they would be immediately notified by a messenger. The Freemans would then order the mass slaughter of the remaining six halls as a warning to Nash.

That was supposed to be the plan. They never expected Nash to hit up all seven halls at once. By the time they got word, it was already too late.

Gabriel slammed his fist on the table and said furiously, "Urgh! Does he have like six arms or something?! Screw it! Are any of you up for a fight?"

It was not the first time Nash had messed up their plans. The Freemans were really pissed off this time.

"But Harold..."

Gabriel's gaze hardened with anger upon hearing Harold's words. He wanted to vent his anger, but he respected Harold's wishes.

"That bastard is attending the ceremony tomorrow. We can just kill him then! I can't wait to put his head on a spike!"

Harold took a deep breath and tried to rein in his anger.

He wanted to kill Nash more than anything, but he had more important things to do. Lots of Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artists were arriving today, and he needed to be there.

Besides, Nash's friends were all in the Mystique Loyalty Realm as well. It would only cause panic among the public if they were to fight now.

This would, in turn, cause unnecessary trouble for the bureau.

As such, Harold had no choice but to tamp down his fury for now.

As he slumped back in his seat, he suddenly received another phone call.

The number was from an eight-division great grandmaster whom he had previously assigned to be stationed at headquarters.

Harold answered the call coldly, "I've already been informed of the situation. Retreat for now."

"Which of the Freeman brothers am I speaking to? The second one? Oh well, whatever. I just wanted to tell you I'm coming for you next. I'd start saying my prayers if I were you!"
