My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 767

The secretary knocked on the office door and asked softly, "May we come in?"

"Please come in." A calm voice sounded from inside the office. The secretary opened the door and lowered his head slightly, saying, "Mr. Calcraft, after you."

Nash walked into the office and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt sitting in the office chair. He had a crew cut, and his face was clean-shaven. Without lifting his head, the man said indifferently, "Feel free to sit down."

The secretary led Nash to the couch, smiling. "Mr. Calcraft, please have a seat. I'll go make tea for you." Seeing that Jack was busy, Nash did not disturb him and sat on the couch.

Jack typed away on the keyboard for a bit before saying, "Mason, cancel the four o'clock meeting for me." It was currently 3:30 in the afternoon, and the meeting being canceled was obviously to accommodate Nash.

"Certainly, Mr. Lindon!" the secretary responded. After preparing tea, he called to reschedule the meeting.

Not wanting to waste time, Nash took out his phone and dialed Eric's number. After several unsuccessful attempts, Eric finally answered the call. There were sounds of struggle from the other end of the line.

"I'm busy," Eric said as he battled Herman with the cedar wood sword in his hand, all while talking on the phone with Nash.

Nash visualized the scene and could not help but chuckle. "If you can't win, retreat. Find a way to trap him in the cemetery!"

"Funny, you think I can't win?"

Back at the De’anne Cemetery, Eric spat out blood.

Herman was incredibly fast—so fast that even with Eric's Third Eye, he found it difficult to capture Herman. He was blasted away by a palm strike, his fall shattering a tombstone.

Eric got up, dusted himself off, and said in a deep voice, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to subdue him."

Looking around, he saw no one in sight. Eric grabbed eight pitch-black bone nails from his bag and tossed them into the air. Then, he formed seals with both hands, chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

The eight bone nails scattered, embedding themselves at eight different points around the cemetery before an invisible shield appeared above the cemetery.

However, Herman soared into the sky effortlessly, easily breaking through the formation.

At this point, Eric was bleeding from his nose and mouth, looking defeated. Even the Demon-Sealing Nails he nurtured with his own essence failed to restrain the ghoul.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. Eric leaned against the security booth, breathing heavily. The security guard inside was still wearing headphones and grooving to the music when he noticed Eric.

The old man took off his headphones and asked, "Young man, did you catch the ghost?"
