My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462 

“Mad scientist?” Sherman rushed after Nash, fire extinguisher still in hand as he put out the fire on him. He was curious. 

“Have you heard of him?” 

“No.” 

“Then why are you asking?” 

“Just curious. I see a madman can also become a scientist and come up with such insane chemicals.” 

Sherman rarely spoke, but today was an exception. Only someone like Nash, who was a top- tier expert, could stimulate his desire for communication-even if it was not related to martial arts. This was the kind of social circle he desired. 

“The mad scientist, Leibell, is a double doctorate holder in physics and chemistry from the University of Cambridge. He gained the nickname ‘mad scientist’ because he often published illogical scholarly articles. The University of Cambridge even expelled him for it. 

“After leaving Cambridge, Leibell established his own laboratory. It was originally called Leibell Laboratory, but because of his actions, it was derisively called the ‘Mad Scientist’s Laboratory’. 

“In just two years, he proved himself with his unique knowledge and ideas. Combustion- Enhancing Sand is one of his peculiar inventions. Many use it as strategic weapons. 

“Six years ago, 

the Moliga government took over Leibell Laboratory and prohibited the trade of Combustion-Enhancing Sand. After six years of consumption, there should be very little of it left circulating in the market.” 

Nash’s steps slowed when he reached the end of his explanation. He contemplated quietly.” Could the people behind this arson be connected to foreign military forces?” 

He paused for a moment and then remembered the Nihon ninjas who had pursued Fabian back then. Some members of the Ten Families might be working with the same ninjas. This arson case was likely orchestrated by the Ten Families or their agents who were embedded within the smaller families in Jonesville. 

Bang! Another explosion came from the control room. 

Nash snapped back to reality and continued pushing the shelves forward. Reaching the wall, he then exerted force in both his hands. He broke the wall before forcefully pushing the 12 shelves out. 

At this moment, Harrison and his wife had also arrived at the scene. When they saw the shelves that Nash had managed to move out, their anxious expressions relaxed considerably. 

“Thank goodness these components are safe. Otherwise, our loss would’ve been immense!” Harrison exclaimed, still shaken. 

“Are these components so important?” 

Nash shook off the dust, dry ice, and dirt from his body, allowing them to fall to the ground. His back was exposed to the air, but there were no signs of burns. 

“These components are extremely important. We purchased them over a three-month period to upgrade our photolithography machine. If these had been destroyed, our partnership with Drake Group would be in jeopardy,” Lauren explained as she looked at the raging fire with lingering anxiety. 

Standing at the side, Harrison’s expression was so grim that he was almost tearing up. 

He gritted his teeth. “It must be that scumbag Hubert. He must have hired someone to do this. Rococo has been struggling without Kai. Baroque is now collaborating with Universal Group, and they’re envious. That’s why they set fire to the company.” 

Lauren shook her head. “Your older brother has been in the dumps these past few days since his wife left home. He’s hardly left the house. How could he have hired someone to set fire to Baroque?” 

“I can’t think of anyone else besides them!” Harrison lamented.
