My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412 

“Z-Zain… Willy’s gone!” 

Ethan said in a panicked and trembling voice. 

“Did he go pee?” 

Zain stopped, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and tossed it to Ethan. “Let’s wait for Willy!” 

The others stopped and took a smoke break too. 

Ethan took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then asked someone for a lighter. 

“Damn… you didn’t bring cigarettes or a lighter, you might as well quit smoking!” 

“That’s because my dad is so strict!” Ethan explained with a smile. 

“You’re 19. Why is he so hard on you?” 

“Sigh… Don’t bring that up… He said that as long as he’s alive, he’ll always be on my case… I’m so sick of it!” Ethan took a drag of his cigarette. 

“Haha… your dad’s a cripple. He wouldn’t make it out alive if he followed you into the King of Medicine’s tomb!” 

“One could hope…” A cold look flashed in Ethan’s eyes. 

Zain glanced at Ethan knowingly. 

After they had waited for ten minutes, there was still no sign of Willy. 

“I think the kid got scared and ran back… Let’s keep going!” 

Ethan dropped the butt of his second cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. 

“Zain… I think we should turn back. If we encounter an undead corpse or if Grandpa finds out we snuck into the main peak, we’re dead meat!” 

A boy with short hair named Tom said timidly. 

“If you want to turn back, then go by yourself! I have to prove myself to Grandpa!” 

The tomb of the King of Medicine was big. If he could find it, then it would impress his grandfather. 

Zain continued walking forward with Ethan. 

The other two boys shared a look before following them. 

A few more minutes passed. 

Tom said in a trembling voice, “Z-Zain… Gary’s missing too…” 

Zain and Ethan glanced back. 

There was only one person left behind them. 

Zain thought, ‘Gary had obviously followed us before, so how did he suddenly disappear?” 

He gulped and asked, “You didn’t hear anything?” 

Tom was on the verge of tears as he shook his head. “No… There was nothing at all! Did they get taken by an undead corpse?” 

Ethan trembled. “Could it be that they encountered an undead corpse?” 

Zain laughed and said, “When an undead corpse appears, there’ll be a pungent smell of blood in the air… Did you two smell anything?” 

They both shook their heads simultaneously. 

Zain continued, “So, it can’t be an undead corpse… Don’t worry about them. Let’s work harder to climb 

up the mountain. Later, I’ll use Dragonseeker’s Aurum Technique to pinpoint the 

exact location of the tomb of the King of Medicine…” 

The two boys hesitated for a moment before following Zain. 

Tom and Ethan walked side by side. 

They had only taken a few steps when Ethan felt a cold gust of wind. 

Suddenly, Tom disappeared from beside him. 

There was a rustling noise coming from the grass nearby. 

“Zain…” Ethan cried out. 

Then, he raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky. 

Zain was startled by Ethan’s voice and quickly turned around to look. 

When he saw that Ethan was the only one left, Zain began to feel afraid too. 

Beyond the mountain peak was the camp of Professor Law and his party. 

Daniel shook Old Herera. “Old Herera… Those brats snuck out…” 

Old Herera snapped wide awake. “When did that happen?” 

“I’m not sure. I think it’s been at least two to three hours…”
