Philix bowed deeply toward the two rows of corpses. “Rest assured, brave heroes. You protected me
for a moment; I’ll defend the Northern Territory for a lifetime!”
Ster, Henderson, and the inspectors all raised their hands in salute.
Grant, Joseph, Zakariah, and Skadi also paid their respects with a bow.
In the morning, Jade brought a group of high-ranking political figures from Jonford. They solemnly bent
over and bowed, paying their respects to these heroic spirits who had died protecting the warden.
Cillian, Lloyd, and Nash, however, offered their respects with a hand on their hearts.
In fact, these three were very highly regarded in both the martial arts world and the priestmunity.
They did not even need to pay their respects.
However, these people died protecting the warden.
They were worth honoring.
Half an hourter, under the guidance of an ambnce, a hearse from the funeral home slowly drove
into the manor.
Hospital staff performed the final checks on the deceased, confirming their deaths before the funeral
home workers dared to put the bodies into body bags.
After dealing with the bodies, Nash prescribed Philix some medication.

“Philix… take this medicine ording to the prescription and your body should bepletely
recovered within a month! Eat a bnced diet in the meantime!”
Due to being tormented by the poison that caused deossification for a long time, Philix was
malnourished.
Despite being nearly 1.8 meters tall, he probably weighed less than 100 pounds.
Philix was not overly polite with Nash and handed the prescription to Ste. “Nash, I won’t say more
than necessary. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for me…”
Nash responded with a big grin, “Certainly!”
After saying goodbye to Philix, Nash went back to Baroque.
Philix, having been away from the Northern Territory for too long, was nning to return immediately.
Two hourster, on a private jet, Philix looked out the window at the clouds while deep in thought.
Ster brought a cup of tea and ced it in front of Philix.
Sitting across from him, Ster asked with a smile, “Warden, you seem to have something on your
mind?”
Philix took a sip from the teacup and said, “I felt a very special airing from Nash!”
Ster was taken aback and said, “Perhaps it’s because Nash risked his life to protect you twice, so
you feel he can be a true
friend in life?”
Philix shook his head. “When I first met the Smiling Grim Reaper, I already sensed that he should be a
man in his 20s. While others may fear the Smiling Grim Reaper, I felt a sense of familiarity with him!”
When Nash appeared before him as the Smiling Grim Reaper, only his eyes were visible.
Anyone else would not have been able to guess what kind of person the Smiling Grim Reaper was.
Yet Philix felt as though he had insight into everything just by looking into Nash’s eyes.
Ster jokingly said, “He wouldn’t happen to be a member of your family, would he? Should we have
the Skye family look it up?”
Philix frowned slightly, then he said seriously, “Let’s not think about that now. When I return to the
Northern Territory this time, let’s keep my recovery a secret…”
Ster understood the warden’s intention and nodded. “I’ll definitely find out who poisoned you…”
In Northjon, at the Baroque branch office, Nash was sitting in the security manager’s office and twirling
a pen in his hands.
The image of Philix’s wise face appeared unbidden in his mind.
Just then, the office doorbell rang.
Nash snapped out of his thoughts and said lightly, “Come in…”
The office door opened, and a voluptuous woman in a professional pencil skirt walked in.
Her long legs were encased in thin ck stockings, and her ck high-heeled shoes clicked on the
floor as she walked over.
She cat-walked toward Nash’s desk, her husky voice slightly breathless as she said, “Mr. Calcraft…
I’vee to give you your work badge!”
The woman was the human resources manager, Lori Lynch.
