My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 

With the power the Kennedy family held in Jonford, eliminating Nash would be simpler than crushing an ant. 

The burly man slammed his hand on the table, roaring, “Don’t you 

understand what the sir is saying? Hurry up and hand over the 

Eremochloa!” 

The silver-haired old man trembled, looking toward the cabinet containing the Eremochloa. Nash crossed his arms and calmly said, As I said, first come, first served.” 

Atlas, drenched in cold sweat, breathed rapidly and said 

intermittently, “Only Eremochloa… can s-save me. If you… give me the Eremochloa, I can fulfill any of your wishes!” 

Nash sneered, “Did that fool tell you Eremochloa is the antidote for Seven-Starred Begonia’s poison?” 

Atlas weakly lifted his head drowsily and asked, “You… You know I’m poisoned by Seven-Starred Begonia?” Then, he fainted. 

“Sir!” 

The burly men’s faces turned pale as the silver-haired old man and his granddaughter quickly came out from behind the counter. 

Fanny addressed the patients waiting in line, “My apologies, but we 

have a crisis in the store. If your condition is severe, you can stay to get treatment. Everyone else, please leave for now!” 

With Atlas’ life hanging in the balance, both she and her grandfather 

had no time to attend to the store. Letting these people wait in line would be a waste of their time. 

The patients in line had no choice but to leave. They did not dare 

voice their complaints as the pharmacy was the only one within ten 

miles. 

The silver-haired old man checked Atlas’ pulse and then pinched a trigger point between his brows. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. If Atlas were to die in his store, the Kennedy family would certainly not let him off. 

Fanny whispered, “Grandpa, what’s Seven-Starred Begonia?” 

The silver-haired old man frowned and said, “It’s an ancient poisonous substance, passed down through the ages. It’s as deadly as Crane’s Crown and the Five Poison Powder. It’s renowned for its fatality to martial artists.” 

Fanny was puzzled. “Why does it only have fatal effects on martial 

artists?” 

The silver-haired old man explained, “The first instinct of a martial artist when poisoned is to think about how to expel the poison, and they’ll use their inner energy to do so. 

“However, when one is poisoned by Seven-Starred Begonia, the more they use their inner energy, the more active the poison becomes.” 

Staring at the lifeless Atlas before them, Fanny asked anxiously, “Can he be saved? Can Eremochloa really counteract Seven-Starred 

Begonia? 

The silver haired old man shook his head. “Seven Starred Begonia has 

been known as the world’s most extraordinary poison since ancie times. It has been lost to time for hundreds of years. 

“Nowadays, very few people know about it except for a few families who practice holistic medicine.” 

“Old man, what’s the use of talking so much?” 

One of Atlas’ men grabbed the silver-haired old man’s collar and roared. “Hurry up and hand over that Eremochlo-” 

The silver-haired old man said in a deep voice, “Eremochloa might not necessarily save him!” 

The burly man slapped the old man across the face. He pulled out a dagger and pressed it against the old man’s neck, saying coldly, “If our young sir dies, your whole family will be buried with him!”
