My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 721

Chapter 721 

Eric gave the tea a gentle sniff before saying appreciatively, “This tea 

has a long-lasting aroma. This is high-quality tea!” 

He swallowed the contents of the teacup in one gulp and closed his 

eyes to enjoy the aromatic taste of the tea in his mouth. 

Atlas took a small sip, and a spark appeared in his eyes. “This is 

Darjeeling tea specially provided for members of the government. It’s 

very expensive, isn’t it?” 

His grandfather had once brought him to visit an important 

government official. 

That officer held an extremely important position, and his grandfather 

had seemed to be on tenterhooks when speaking to him. However, 

the man had treated him with the utmost respect and brewed him a 

pot of his finest tea. 

Atlas had also drank a cup of that tea then. He viewed it as of his proudest moments and committed all details of that day to memory-especially the taste of that Darjeeling tea. 

Nash smiled as he said, “Drinking tea is a way of improving 

relationships. Who would discuss how much the tea cost while drinking it?” 

“You’re right, Master Nash!” 

An awkward expression appeared on Atlas’ face. 

It would be shameful for him to admit he was born into a prestigious

family. 

His grandfather had taught him to never constantly bring up money in 

conversation. 

He usually never engaged in conversations about money, so why did 

he embarrass himself in front of Master Nash today? 

Eric put his teacup down and rolled his eyes at Atlas. “My relationship 

with Nash is not founded on benefits!” 

If Nash ever visited him, he would also serve him the best tea and 

wine he had at home. 

They had gone through life-or-death situations before, and the strength of their bond could no longer be measured using money. 

Atlas was so embarrassed he wanted to bury himself alive. 

He did not know what was wrong with him today. How could he have said something so idiotic? 

Could his brain be malfunctioning because the toxins had not been 

completely cleared from his body yet? 

Atlas was still staring dazedly into space. Eric said exasperat Aren’t you going to apologize to Nash?” 

Atlas jerked out of his reverie and hurriedly got to his feet so that 

could pour Nash a cup of tea. 

Then, he filled his own cup and held it in both hands as he said, “My 

apologies for not watching my mouth, Master Nash. Allow me to use this tea as a substitute for liquor while I apologize to you!”

Nash waved his hand and smiled. “No need for such formalities. Do 

sit down!” 

Atlas held his cup in both hands as he said, “I’ll drink to your health!” 

Once he finished his sentence, he poured the contents of the cup into. 

his mouth. 

The tea was warm, and Atlas held the liquid in his mouth for some time before he finally swallowed it. 

Nash picked up his cup and took a sip from it. “You’re one of us now. 

No need to be such a stickler for the rules!” 

Atlas poured himself a second cup of tea. “I’ll drink once more to your hehealth, Master Nash. Thank you for saving my life yesterday!” 

NNash could not be bothered to put his cup down and thus took a 

sesecond sip of tea. 

AAfter drinking two cups of tea, Atlas sat down beside his master olobediently. 

Eric’s frown became less pronounced, and he turned to Na withth, it, Nashy. Is there something that’s bothering you?” 

“Indesechdiere is. However, these problems should become much easiereotociclve now that you’re here, Eric!” 

Nasi totold him everything about the Duerson family and Six Finger afterdhatat. 

Atlas sat besidede them, pouring tea. 

When theyeraraouaut fofetea, he went to add more warm water into the

teapot by himself. 

Despite being the heir of the Kenndy family, he acted like a servant to 

the two Golden Amulet Masters. 

Eric ran a hand over his sideburns and narrowed his eyes as he said, 

Peter Sontag is probably going to be a difficult person to deal with!” 

He had not participated in the hunt for Peter back then, but the 

Association of Path Masters had made such a big deal out of it. 

Moreover, he had learned from the more experienced practitioners how Nash had failed to defeat Peter Sontag despite collaborating 

with multiple Heavenly Masters. That alone was enough to show that 

Peter’s skills were on par with that of a Golden Robe Heavenly Master. 

“I exchanged hands with him about a month ago. His skills have 

improved drastically…” 

“He’s mastered the Five Thunder Curse and the Corpse Controlling Spell. In fact, he can control corpses that are a thousand feet away 

from him. I’m not sure if we can even do that.” 

Nash recalled the time he helped Philix defy death and return to life. 

The man who had battled him from afar was no other than Peter. 

He could perform the Five Thunder Curse too, but he had not yet reached the level where he could execute it a thousand feet away. 

As for the Corpse Controlling Spell… 

It was dark magic that Nash had never dabbled in before. 

Eric frowned as he said, “So, Peter is at Jonford to attack you?”
