“I’ve already checked on her. She’s mostly fine,” Nash said.
Hearing that, both of them were relieved. After more than two hours, the massive fire was finally under
control. The ident resulted in five cases of injuries, three of which were minor, while two security
guards were seriously injured and sent to the hospital.
After regaining consciousness, Hera arranged for the finance manager and the security manager to
cover the medical expenses at the hospital. She also instructed the maintenance team to dismantle the
remaining usefulponents in the control room.
“Ms. Lynch, please inform all departments to take two days off as we won’t be able to get back the
power so soon,” Hera said.
“Would two days of rest be enough?” Lori looked at the ruined control room and sighed. Based on the
extent of the damage, it’s likely that we won’t be able to resume normal production even within seven
days.”
Hera pondered before replying, “Start with two days. We’ll extendter on if necessary.”
“Okay, I’ll send an urgent message to the management group right away.” Lori then dutifully took out
her phone and sent an emergency message to the chat group.
Hera and the senior management team were then whisked away by work. They were busy until the
early morning of the next day.
Nash and Jupiter spent the entire night investigating the incident but could not find any leads.
Sitting in the patrol car at the factory gate, Jupiter was smoking a cigarette. The lines of his face
expressed his worry. “As I suspected, surveince footage from the control room tonight has been
deleted.
“But we did notice from the other cameras that three technicians had gone to the control room two days
ago. We checked with the security department, and they said they were part of the maintenance team.
They’re long-time employees who were transferred from Baroque’s headquarters.”
Feeling somewhat exhausted, Nash leaned back in his seat and said, “Money makes the world turn.
Even long-time employees can be bribed.”
He had also suspected Hubert’s involvement at the beginning. However, his mother-inw imed that
Hubert had locked himself in and seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown after his wife left him.
With how obviously affected he was, it made it less likely that he would continue to target Baroque.

The possibility of it being Helena and Kai who were behind this were even more unlikely. He saved
them from the Green Bamboo Association at the time. If they had any conscience, they would not harm
Baroque like this.
Nash checked his phone for the time. It was already eight in the morning, yet his father-in-w, mother-
inw, and Hera were still nowhere to be seen.
Sherman was standing outside with his hands in his pockets. His once neat suit was wrinkled. There
was soot smeared in his face as well. Feeling Nash’s gaze on him, he looked over and walked toward
him. “Nash, do you have any orders?”
Nash smiled wryly. “No need to be so polite. I heard your master is still alive. I wonder if that Mystique
Loyalty Realm expert from that night was your master.”
“No, it’s not.” Sherman shook his head without hesitation. He also thought the person to be was his
master at first, but the powerful aura was unfamiliar to him. His master might have been missing for
years, but he could still recognize him.
“Strange. Could that person just have been passing by?”
Nash was puzzled. It was rare for two Profound Reality Realm experts to engage in battle, especially
among the younger generation. It was hard to tell if they had Mystique Loyalty Realm masters backing
them.
Interfering in a conflict between two young Profound Reality Realm experts would certainly provoke
conflicts among the Mystique Loyalty Realm experts. If they had just been passing by, they would not
have so easily helped Sherman.
“Could…someone else be protecting Hera?”
