My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 

“So, Kai likely knew something, which would explain why Duncan wanted to get rid of him. Impressive!” Nash murmured, amazed by the reveal. He then turned to Hera and asked, “Hera, how many chip companies are there in Jonford?” 

“Currently, there are only three companies capable of producing mainstream chips-Splendor, Innovative, and Baroque,” Hera replied. 

Nash continued, “What’s the relationship between Splendor and the Duncan family?” 

While it was confirmed that Duncan had hired someone to start the fire, a thorough investigation was needed to reveal every detail. Duncan would not have personally set the fire himself. 

That said, both Innovate Collective and Splendor employees migh have been willing to cause Baroque trouble. 

“I’m not sure. I rarely pay attention to these two companies. I’ll ask friend to find out,” Hera responded. 

“No need. When Kai wakes up, the truth will be revealed.” Nash 

chuckled. Kai must know many of Duncan’s secrets, which would explain why Duncan would dare confront Kai despite him being unc 

Walter. 

With a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert by his side, it would not be ea 

to confront Duncan directly. Hera and Helean returned to the vill 

living room, where the housekeeper had prepared some food. 

The two women had their first peaceful meal together. Hera had 

prepared a bowl of chicken noodle soup for Helena. “Helena, have some chicken noodle soup to restore your health.” 

Moved by Hera’s gesture, Helena’s hands trembled when she was accepting the bowl. Hera smiled and used a spoon to feed her the soup. Her actions elicited tears of gratitude from Helena. 

Meanwhile, Nash assigned Melody to investigate the relationship between Duncan and Splendor while also tasking Ken to protect Hera for the next few days. 

After Melody and Ken left the basement, Nash began preparing the medicinal herbs for the Five Organs Rejuvenation Pill. Kai was out of immediate danger, but Finn still had deadly toxins in his body. Hence, the priority now was to create a pill to save him. 

A third-grade pill fire was required to craft a third-grade medicinal pill Nash activated the green pill fire in the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron afte expending his true energy three times. 

The thumb-sized green flame danced within the array, and althoug the flame was not excessively hot, Nash felt unnerved by it. It was a if this flame was a threat to his soul. 

After consuming a Rejuvenation Pill, Nash proceeded to activate deeper layers of the array. 

The preparation alone took three hours and eight Rejuvenation Pil Within the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron, a light blue halo spun. 

Nash tossed in medicinal stones with higher melting points, and th immediately liquefied upon entering the cauldron. They were follow by a large number of valuable and costly medicinal herbs.

Half of these herbs were retrieved from the King of Medicine’s tomb 

and the rest came via Mireille. All of them were irreplaceable. 

In fact, there were several higher-grade medical pills that could assist 

in Finn’s detoxification and were more effective than the Five Organs 

Rejuvenation Pill. However, their ingredients were even rarer.
