My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 

Kristian took a fierce swig from the liquor bottle. 

Zakariah was rendered speechless by Kristian’s words. 

He knew… 

Kristian was still resentful about the slap he had received before, especially since he had been driven out of the Zabels in front of everyone. 

Kristian was right. 

Zakariah was too concerned about saving face. 

Martial arts competitions were always about stopping at the right point. 

However, for the sake of pride, he did not intervene when the Ihara Martial Arts School broke the rules during the first match. 

Due to his pride, even though he knew the Nihon competitors were ruthless, he allowed Skade to compete. 

Had he put his pride aside and stopped the competition when the Ihara Martial Arts School broke the rules, Skade would not have participated in the second match and would not have been so gravely injured. 

At that moment, Nash and Brian came down from upstairs. 

Everyone’s eyes were immediately on them. 

Hera stood up and approached them, asking, “Nash… how is Skade doing now?” 

Nash showed a slight smile. “She’s no longer in a life-threatening situation, but she’ll need some time to recover!” 

Then, he turned to Brian. “Follow the prescription I gave you. Add the herbs to boiling water, let it simmer on high heat for 30 minutes, then add turtle shells and simmer on low heat for another 60 minutes before consuming!” 

Brian held a prescription full of medicinal ingredients, nodding in response. “Okay, I’ll prepare the medicine now…” 

Nash approached Hera, wiped away her tears, and softly asked, “Give me Bianca’s phone number…” 

Hera did not ask why and quickly retrieved Bianca’s number for him. 

Nash took out his cell phone and dialed Bianca’s number. 

A man answered, his voice somewhat effeminate as he said, “Bianca is training. She doesn’t have time to answer calls!” 

Nash inquired, “Is she at Neo Power Club?” 

The man on the other end, noticing that a woman’s name was displayed as the caller ID but a man was speaking, asked, “Who are you?” 

Nash’s voice grew colder. “Answer my question!” 

“Whoa now, little guy, you’re quite arrogant. I won’t tell you. Come and hit me if 

With that, there was a sarcastic laugh. 

“Fine, wait for me.” 

Nash hung up, took Hera’s car keys, and drove straight to Neo Power Club. 

He left so hastily that Zakariah did not even have time to thank him. 

you can!” 

Neo Power Club was located in Downtown Jonford in an 18-story commercial building. 

Inside, it was filled with gym equipment with punching bags hanging from the ceiling. 

In the center was a large octagon cage. 

Bianca, in boxing attire, was practicing with a muscular man inside the cage. 

Every so often, the man’s gaze would drift toward the contours of Bianca’s body. 

Noticing his wandering eyes, Bianca sped up her punches, with the final blow landing squarely on the man’s face. 

“Ouch…” 

The muscular man clutched his nose with a painful scream. 

Bianca, taking off her boxing gloves, threw them at him. “If you look again, don’t ever come back here!” 

Exiting the cage, a red-haired woman chewing gum handed her a bottle of mineral water.
