My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1288

In Nash's view, Barton offered to help because he wanted Nash to cure Baden's illness.

Back when Bradley ran into trouble at Motadine, Nash had sought help from the Bullhogs, and they had responded by sending several Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artists to his rescue.

While they did not arrive at the scene in time, they nevertheless managed to rescue Bradley.

As such, Nash was indebted to them.

Instead of repaying the favor, Nash sought their help again. Once again, they agreed to help and sent Regulus to his rescue without hesitation.

This time, Barton brought along three Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artists, marking the third time Nash had received help from the Bullhogs.

Tremendously grateful for their help, Nash vowed to cure Baden's illness no matter what.

"I left in a hurry, so I didn't bring Baden along. Besides..."

Barton scanned the crowd and continued with a smile, "Let's get through the day first! We can talk about that later!"

Hearing this, Nash felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him once again.

Barton did not want to bring Baden with him because he knew he might very well die today.

Nash reached for his wine and gave it a little swirl while saying, "Let's toast to our friendship!"

Sometimes, things did not need to be said out loud.

Nash decided the Bullhogs would be his friends until death.

Liking the idea, Barton popped open a new bottle of white wine and started filling up their glasses. Some of the wine spilled out, but he did not care.

Nash's glass still had some red wine, but Barton did not care either.

Seeing Barton's way of doing things, Nash could not help but stifle a laugh. He found himself taken aback by Barton's disregard for wine etiquette but then recalled that Barton was from Motadine, where such formalities likely held little significance.

Nash decided not to let these differences get in the way of their friendship.

"The Voodoo Parasite King of Shealor?"

Barton's eyes widened at the name as he balled his fists.

The other Bullhog members seated at the table also grimaced at the name, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

"You know him?"

Nash looked at Barton in surprise.

The man had been on the run since a decade ago, hunted down by martial artists all over. Word had it that he went into hiding deep in the mountains and continued practicing sorcery. Only a few had seen his face.

Johnathan had once told Nash that he was a threat to humanity and that Nash must kill him if he ever crossed paths with him.

"20 years ago, our family was faced with a crisis. My grandfather and father had fallen ill with a strange disease out of the blue. In just three days, their bodies started rotting, including their organs. I had no choice but to end their suffering!"

Barton's gaze was hardened with anger as he said through gritted teeth.
