Being best friends and given their past experiences, Skadi did not want to be too direct in her words.


    Still, she felt the need to give Heral some gentle reminders.


    “With everything going on recently, let’s talk about this after things. settle down,” Skadi suggested.


    Hera nodded, keeping her head low. She only feltfortable discussing these matters with Skadi.


    ncing at the time, Skadi said, “I have to go back to the school. Remember to try the duck I brought.


    The vor is absolutely incredible!”


    Hera escorted Skadi to the door and then left in her car. Skadi slowed down after covering some


    distance, her eyes watching both sides of the road vigntly. She was thankful that the elderly man was


    not around.


    In the basement, Nash was done preparing the medicine and was now cleaning up the residuals


    beside the cauldron while Melody reported her findings to him.


    “The higher-ups at Splendor have no connections with the Duerson family! They also don’t take


    domestic orders, so Baroque poses no threat to them.


    “It’d be baseless to im that the Baroque fire without any evidence,” Melody reported.


    Nash smiled. “Let’s wait until Kai wakes up before making any conclusions.”


    If it was orchestrated by Duncan, he would have been meticulous with his nning. What was more, he


    had managed to get a Mystique. Loyalty Realm powerhouse to work for him. His visit yesterday was a


    direct challenge to him.


    Not only was Duncan a threat to him, but he also put those around Nash at risk. Nash had already


    ced Duncan on his mental death list.


    “Did you personally investigate Splendor?” Nash asked.


    “No, I had someone else do it. I enlisted Louis, a member of the Watson family and Walter’s nephew.


    He’s also the regional manager for Splendor. It’s unlikely that anyone from the Watson family would.


    betray us, right?”


    Melody replied confidently, believing that she handled the situation perfectly.


    She figured Nash would praise her this time, but he just stared at her for a long time without saying a


    word. Melody started feeling a bit unsure. “Did I do something wrong?”


    Nash went back to cleaning the residue off the cauldron while. casually saying, “You did the right thing,


    but Duncan is not as simple as you imagine.”


    Melody got a little mad. “If you have something to say, just say it. I can’t stand this kind of cryptic talk!”


    Nash’s gaze was meaningful. It was clear he did not fully agree with Melody’s approach..

    “I already said you did the right thing, didn’t I?” Nash smiled faintly, offering no further exnation.


    Melody looked at Nash suspiciously, “So, is this your way of praising me?”


    Nash nodded very seriously, “Of course!”


    “That’s good enough, then.” Melody’s expression softened a bit.


    Then, she looked at Finn, who was covered in ck sweat. She asked with surprise, “Has Finn taken


    the pills?”


    “Yeah, if nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up tomorrow,” Nash confidently stated.


    “And what about Kai?”


    “I’m in the process of preparing a pill for him.”


    “I won’t disturb you, then.” With that, Melody turned around to leave,


    “Close the door!” Nash called out.


    There was a bang as Melody shut the heavy, titanium alloy door.


    Nash then picked up his phone and called Walter.


    “Dr. Calcraft?”
