No matter how much Hera tried to convince him, Nash remained indifferent.
Hera was so angry that she rushed out the door, her eyes red.
Nash sighed helplessly.
Seeing that it was still early, he took his ID card with him to the bank to apply for a savings card.
When he brought out his checks that amounted to 300 million to be deposited, amotion urred
in the back. The president even came to the bank in his pajamas to receive Nash in person.
By the time the transaction was settled, it was already night.
Nash ate some fast food before returning to the vi where he took out a blood-stained napkin from his
pocket.
He carefully opened the napkin, and inside were two motionless white bugs.
These were the two Longhorns that he had secretly hidden when he performed the surgery on Mrs.
Watson.
They were also thergest ones. One of them had feelers while the other had a single horn.
Nash took out his push-button mobile phone, located a number, and then dialed it.
“Oh, Nashy, did you call me ’cause you miss me?”
A sweet, feminine voice came from the other end of the phone.
The voice was light and melodious.
If one did not concentrate enough, this voice would intoxicate them.
“Cassie, do you know about the Longhorn bug?” Nash cut straight to the chase and asked directly.
Thedy’s name was Cassie Morkov, and she was the daughter of the leader of the Mallefic tribe. They
were experts at raising parasites.
The tribe once suffered a catastrophe when one of the breeders failed at raising the parasites.
Nash’s master happened to have brought him along when they were traveling around the world at that
time. They passed by the tribe and rescued the tribesmen.
The leader valued Nash’s potential and wanted to marry his daughter to Nash.
It was not until his master revealed that Nash had a marriage contract that he was no longer entangled
with the leader and his family.
“The Longhorns, eh… You’vee to the right person. My dad just recently taught me how to
recognize a Longhorn!” Cassie chirped.
Nash immediately asked, “How do you tell between the male and female Longhorns? And how do you
raise them?”
Cassie exined without hesitation, “Longhorns are shaped like rice grains. The females have feelers
while the males have a single horn. When the males court, a faint energy fluctuation is emited from the
single horn, which can attract a female thousands of kilometers away. Then, they mate.”
Nash hurriedly interrupted Cassie. “Ahem…”

“You just asked me how to raise them!”
Thest time he saw Cassie was about six years ago, when she was only 11 years old. Now, she was
only 17 years old.
There was no need for her to study mating habits too deeply.
“Hehe. Still shy, huh, Nashy?”
Cassieughed.
Then, she added, “The main source of food for Longhorns is fungus and bacteria found in the blood.
They’re very adaptable and can be fed with any kind of blood. This ensures they never die.”
Cassie was puzzled after she said that. “Nashy, why are you asking this? Could it be that you have
them?”
“No, I’m just helping a friend of mine. It’s alright now. Bye!”
Nash ended the call hastily after leaving that perfunctory statement.
Longhorns had a very powerful effect. They could preserve thest breath of a dying person.
If one was seriously injured and there was no medicine that could be used, one could potentially use a
Longhorn to put oneself into a state of suspended animation when one was down to one’sst breath.
Nash found an empty bottle in Hera’s dressing cab, cleaned it, and put the pair of bugs in it. He
then added two drops of his own blood.
The bugs wriggled in the blood, and the blood bubbled up.
To allow bacteria into the bottle, Nash pierced a few small holes in the cap.
Finally, he put the bottle on top of the closet and then pped his hands in satisfaction.
At six in the morning the next day, the sky gradually brightened.
Ster rang the doorbell punctually.
“Come in!”
Hearing Nash’s voice from the room, Ster pushed the door open and entered.
