My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428 

He regretted telling Nash about Anders now. 

Back when Anders was in the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, he had been loyal. He left only because he was seduced by a woman from the raider families. At the very least, Anders never did anything to betray the Tomb Whisperer Lineage. 

Anders took some medicine from his bag, poured it onto his mutilated right eye, and then bandaged himself. 

Heidi suggested, “Nash, let’s sketch out the 18 Rings of Doom first!” 

Nash smiled and nodded. “I was thinking the same thing…” 

Heidi took out paper and a pen from her bag, handing them over while blinking her innocent eyes. “You can see the inscriptions on the coffin clearly… We can’t!” 

With a chuckle, Nash accepted the items and used a grappling hook and rope to get onto the coffin. 

Sitting at the edge of the coffin, he began sketching small grids, starting with the outermost circle that contained 180 grids. 

As the circle narrowed, the grids became smaller, and the inscriptions on them even tinier. 

Drawing the 3,000 grids and the Somerese characters would take at least two hours. 

Melody and the others gathered to eat MRE meals. 

Bradley handed a pack to Anders. “Mr. Anders, you should eat something.” 

Melody remarked, “Mr. Bradley, we don’t have much food left, and we’ll need several days to get back!” 

Seeing Nash’s disdain for Anders, she naturally was not fond of the old man. 

Others felt similarly. Finn glanced at Anders and commented, “Mr. Bradley, Heidi and Melody eat so much. They’ve almost consumed all the food we brought!” 

With a fierce glare, Melody retorted, “What do you mean? Are you saying you haven’t eaten at all?” 

Finn grinned. “Who among us eats as much as you and Heidi?” 

Heidi’s cheeks turned red, and she fell silent. 

On their journey, she and Melody had indeed indulged in food. 

Then, arguments erupted among the 

group. 

Feeling too embarrassed to accept their food, Anders laughed it off. “I’m not hungry just yet… It’s better to save the food.”/ 

Just after he spoke, his stomach grumbled in protest. 

He had not eaten or drunk anything since morning, and escaping through the tomb passages had drained a lot of his energy. 

Bradley chuckled. “This is my share. You take it and eat up!” 

Though Anders had done some questionable things regarding the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, they were not that grave. 

The Young family’s patriarch, Christopher, had not only forgiven Anders but had even given him billions to settle down. 

Plus, Bradley and Anders shared a deep bond from past adventures. 

Anders declined again. “I’m truly not hungry. If you’re not eating it, save it for the journey back!” 

Then, he asked with a smile, “Remember how in our tomb raiding days, I’d go days without eating?” 

Bradley put the MRE pack into his bag, took out some compressed biscuits and a bottle of water, and handed them forcefully to Anders. “You were so young back then. How can you compare yourself to that time?” 

Anders looked at the others, who were all engrossed in their own meals. Then, he accepted the food with a bitter smile. “I truly appreciate it.” 

Having lived for so many years, he could read their minds.
