Chapter 537

    Duncan ced a hand on the woman’s head as he closed his eyes.


    The Watson family was devastated.


    They had not received reports of anything odd from the hospital.


    It was essentially confirmed that Kai was dead.


    To prevent things from going awry, they instructed several of their men to keep an eye on Kai until his


    body was sent to the crematorium.


    At the Zell family’s home, Dn Morkov and Grant Zell were in the midst of a pleasant conversation.


    “Oh, that’s right. Has Ben joined the National Martial Bureau yet?”


    Grant recalled Dn had a grandson named Bet Morkov.


    The young man had always been good-looking.


    He was probably one of Capiton’s most handsome young talents now.


    His granddaughter was graduating from university soon, so it was almost time for her to begin


    considering marriage.


    Dn said disappointedly, “That little bastard is not interested in martial arts… He started a business of


    his own after graduating from university, and he’s running hispany now!”


    “Well… Going into business is a good idea as well. Ben is so smart.


    There’s no doubt he’ll be one of the most sessful businessmen in the future!”


    A disappointed look appeared in Grant’s eyes when he heard that Bet was a businessman.


    His family was already influential enough when it came to business dealings.


    What he needed was a marriage that could bring him connections to the political sphere.


    Only bybining forces with another powerful family would the Zell family sessfully secure an


    even more stable position.


    Dn naturally knew what Grant was thinking. He sipped his tea and rearranged his features into a


    disappointed look as he said, “Your know how it is. Given my.connections, the Ten Families of Capiton


    are always looking for opportunities to work with him. He won’t have a chance to learn how to stand on


    his own two feet!”


    A glint instantly appeared in Grant’s eyes when he heard that. “Hahaha


    Talented individuals will always be recognized and provided with opportunities wherever they go…


    “The fact that Ben can bring the Ten Families together is a testament to his social skills. That’s a huge


    must when doing business!”


    Grant understood what his former ssmate was trying to tell him.


    He wanted him to know that Bet could make a name for himself without receiving help from


    anyone.


    Dn smiled and nced at Sydney, who was staring into space.” Does Sydney have a boyfriend yet?”


    “No…


    “She’s never dated!” Grant hurriedly added.


    Bet was rubbing shoulders with Capiton’s Ten Families, and his grandfather was also a high-


    ranking official in the National Martial Bureau.


    Besides, he needed his former ssmate’s help in his n for revenge.


    He had to make sure they stayed on good terms.


    Fred Zell could tell where things were headed.


    Since both parties were interested in discussing marriage, he grinned and said, “Dad… I think it’d be


    nice if Sydney and Ben tried dating each other!”


    When Dn and Grant heard that, they first exchanged stunned looks before smiling.


    Grant grinned as he asked, “What do you think, Sydney?”


    Sydney had not been paying attention to them.


    It had been 40 minutes since she spoke to Nash on the phone.


    ording to her calctions, he would be arriving very soon.


    She had no idea what would happen next.


    “Sydney!”


    Frank frowned as he called her name out.


    “Ah… Sure… Sounds good!”


    Jolted back to reality, Sydney gave a hollowugh as she nodded.


    The smile on Dn’s face grew even wider.


    A relieved smile appeared on Grant’s face.


    “Dad… would Nash reallye to see us?”


    A worried look appeared in Fred’s eyes as he gazed out at the night sky.


    Nash had just destroyed the ck Tiger Hall earlier that day, but neither the Inspection Office nor any


    other ministries had even made a peep. It was evident the connections he had made in the Northern


    Territory were doing their job.


    “Don’t worry. My men are stationed around the mansion… If he darese here, I’ll make him regret


    his decision!”


    Dn smiled confidently.


    Fred asked hesitantly, “Mr. Murphy, if I may ask… what level of cultivation have you achieved?”


    Dn grinned. “Peak Profound Reality Realm… I’ll be breaking through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm


    soon!”


    Gosh…


    Fred drew in his breath.


    Peak Profound Reality Realm…


    He had heard previously that Nash and the Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut had drawn a truce during their


    battle at Zakariah’s martial arts school.


    The Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut had achieved mid-level ProfoundThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Reality Realm then, which meant Nash’s abilities probably fell around that same range too.


    If Mr. Murphy had achieved peak Profound Reality Realm, what upper hand would Nash have in the


    fight for the Antarctic Lotus? That was the item his mother had left behind for his dad.


    Sydney could not bring herself to feel any joy when she heard that


    Dn had achieved peak Profound Reality Realm.


    After spending some time with Nash, she concluded that he was actually a pretty nice person. His one


    w was that he was rather arrogant and consistently acted like there was no one above him.


    Yet, she could not bring herself to me Nash. He had achieved such. high levels of cultivation at such


    a young age. She was sure she would be even more arrogant than he was if she were in his shoes.


    “It’s almost 11 o’clock. I don’t think he’ll be dropping by, will he?” Fred asked as he nced at the


    gates.


    “Hmph… He must have gotten scared after hearing how powerful my old ssmate is!” Grant sneered.


    “Haha… You’re too kind… Some of my men are Profound Reality Realm experts too… It’s only


    reasonable that he can’t make his way in!”


    Dn spoke nonchntly.


    When he finished his sentence, a contemptuousugh rang out.


    “Hah… Mr. Calcraft is here!”
