My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2037

"It's alright," Alfius replied politely. "I think it's fine this way. By the way, I haven't asked. Why are you here?"

"Master Nash is here—"

"On vacation," Nash cut Mosley off.

"Ah, I see," Alfius responded.

"That's the main reason, but we're also here to take care of some things for a friend," Nash added confidently.

"Okay, I won't ask more. Oh, have you guys eaten yet?" Alfius asked.

"No! My good sir, you must be planning to treat us to a big meal, right?" Mosley exclaimed, patting Alfius on the shoulder excitedly.

"Mosley, you're always causing trouble!" Nash scolded him, pulling him aside.

Alfius smiled. "It's fine. Consider it a way to repay you for saving my life. Come on, it's no problem."

Seeing Alfius' insistence, Nash could not refuse. "Alright, lead the way."

They headed toward a wooden cabin.

"How strange," Nash muttered to himself as he walked behind the group.

The Alfius before him seemed entirely different from the one he had encountered in the Heaven and Netherworld game. Back then, Alfius had an undeniable charisma and leadership quality. He was a spirited young man, but now, he seemed overly cautious—almost fearful.

Could it be due to the game's influence? Something must have changed him deeply, something he was keeping a secret—much like Mosley.

"Mr. Sucho, the spy has reported." A black figure appeared at the window.

"Oh? Speak."

"Yes, Mr. Sucho. According to our spy, Nash Calcraft from Drakonia, the one who killed Ace, has arrived in the Land of Nion."

"Nash Calcraft?" The president, Palm Sucho, hesitated before adding, "What's he doing here?"

"According to information from Drakonia, he came to take a position at a friend's subsidiary."
