My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1723

Maggie nodded obediently. “Alright. Got it, Laverne!”

Ethel Weiz, who was standing beside them, giggled. “Look. They’re on their way out!”

They immediately looked over and watched Dallas stride toward them with over half a dozen Mystique Loyalty Realm experts.

Benedict’s chilly aura reached them before his person did. His cold-sounding voice soon rang out. “What are you here for this time?”

Maggie immediately responded, “Hello, we’re here to borrow some tents!”

“We don’t have any!”

Benedict’s refusal came without even a moment’s hesitation.

One of the youngsters from the Zen Heart Sect said quietly, “We’re all citizens of the same country. Is it too much to even ask for a couple of tents from you?”

That made Benedict laugh. “Fuck, you still remember that we have the same nationality? Did you think of that when you forced us out of those mountains?”

Elistan Greene said calmly, “I’m sure you’ve noticed, but the deeper into the mountains you go, the more rural and dangerous everything becomes. We asked you to stay near the outskirts to protect you. Yet, you’re blaming us for removing you from such dangerous locations instead of thanking us?”

Conrad Greene could not help grinning. Inwardly, he praised Elistan.

That reasoning had successfully put them on the moral high ground.

“So, does that mean we should thank you?”

Douglas looked at Elistan as if he were an idiot.

Elistan smiled a slight smile. “Indeed, you're a clever man. There's no need to thank us, though. We might be living in constant isolation, but we'll never forget that we're from Drakonia."

“Fuck, you truly are an embodiment of the word ‘shameless’!”

“Does the Zen Heart Sect specialize in cultivating shamelessness?”

Benedict did not hesitate to mock them. He did not show them any mercy, nor did he care about offending them in the slightest.
