My Substitute CEO Bride

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!”
The silver-haired old man and Fanny trembled in fear. “Grandpa, quickly detoxify him!” Fanny said in a trembling voice.
She dared not question the Kennedy family’s words. If something happened to Atlas, their entire family would be doomed. She
had not even gotten married or enjoyed the pleasures of life yet!
The silver-haired old man surreptitiously glanced at Nash, Brian Tanner’s grandmaster. With his extraordinary medical skills, he
could surely save Atlas.
Fanny noticed her grandfather’s gaze, and her eyes brightened. She stood up and looked at Nash, saying, “Aren’t you Brian
Tanner’s grandmaster? Quickly save Atlas!”

Nash glanced at Atlas, who was lying on the ground. He was bleeding. and foaming at the mouth. He said with a faint smile, “I’m
not familiar with him, so why should I save him?”
Fanny was momentarily stunned but then retorted angrily, “You won’t save him just because you’re not familiar with him? We see
so many strangers every day in pharmacies and hospitals. Does that mean we shouldn’t treat them?”
