My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1497

Here at Drakonia, they were suppressed by these two men.

Drakonia truly hid its claws well.

Atticus said with a smile, "These guys used to be bullies abroad. Commander, you have so many powerful experts around you. It would be a good experience for them!"

Nash smiled nonchalantly. "When you arrive at the Celestial Dragon Squadron, you'll have plenty of time to gain experience. Let's have a chat!"

After a while, more than a dozen luxury cars drove out of the airport at the same time and headed toward Jonford Hotel.

Nash and Atticus were sitting in the same car.

Atticus looked calm on the outside, but inside, he was extremely nervous. After all, the person sitting with him was the leader of Drakonia's special forces. Atticus was usually confident and carefree even when meeting VIP clients, but he could not carry a conversation now.

In order to lighten the atmosphere, Nash took the initiative to chat. "We can be considered old friends, after all. I bought a lot of information from Shadow Palace back then!"

Atticus looked surprised. "Really? So, I've worked for you before, Commander Calcraft. But I'm not sure under which moniker you used before this?"

Shadow Palace had clients all over the world. This organization traded at least hundreds of millions of information pieces, some of which involved well-known figures.

"The Smiling Grim Reaper. Any impression?" Nash showed a smile that he thought was gentle.

"What? T-The Smiling Grim Reaper?" Atticus' pupils shrank as his voice became sharp.

Of course, this name was familiar to him. He was Shadow Palace's largest customer since their inception. The amount of money behind his transactions alone was as high as 1.8 billion. This name was not just a force but a league of its own. The transaction volume of intelligence purchased by top foreign mercenary organizations only exceeded 100 million.

There was a deeper reason for this.

The Smiling Grim Reaper had purchased information on foreign heads of state three times. Those tyrants of the three countries were beheaded by him. The Smiling Grim Reaper was even stronger than a force of a thousand troops. Atticus glanced at Nash, sweating profusely. Doubts suddenly arose in his heart.

He thought to himself, 'The last time the Smiling Grim Reaper purchased information was about four years ago. He purchased the intelligence of the three heads of state about seven years ago. How old was he at that time?

"A kid of barely 18 years old killed the leader of three countries? Insanity... Who would believe this story? Is Nash lying to me? He's now the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron. Is it necessary for him to lie?' Suddenly, Atticus realized something.

There was a reason why Nash became the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron at this age. He was already terrifyingly powerful six or seven years ago. How strong would he be now?

"It rings a bell to you?" Nash continued to ask with a smile.

"Yes... I'm very familiar with the Smiling Grim Reaper. I'm truly lucky to have met you today!" Atticus felt an itch on his face, as if some liquid was flowing down.

How embarrassing. He was dripping in cold sweat from fear.

Atticus felt extremely awkward. It was not his fault for being scared shitless. After all, Shadow Palace had a full record of the Smiling Grim Reaper's past. Apart from the Smiling Grim Reaper himself, Shadow Palace knew the Smiling Grim Reaper best. "Mr. Atticus, you seem affected by the heat. Xeno, please turn up the air conditioner!" Nash said to Xeno, who was driving.

Xeno smirked slightly while turning on the air conditioner.

It was winter, and the temperature outside the car was about 25 degrees while the temperature inside the car was about 27 degrees. How could it be hot?

Atticus seemed disinterested in chatting with him, so Nash stopped talking and closed his eyes to take a nap.

At the same time, Nash felt extremely complicated inside. He never expected Orlando's elder brother, Atticus, who was also under Theo's command, to be the lord of Shadow Palace.

Nash would not believe it at all if Theo had no part in Shadow Palace.
