Nash reached out into the air and an apple from the fruit tray on the


    coffee table flew into his hand. He took a bite and chewed


    thoughtfully.


    Meanwhile, Hera disclosed the events that happened to the Watsons,


    Zells, and Lees to him. The three families had transferred 70% of their


    assets. In an attempt to resist Duncan’s dominance, the families’


    trusted subordinates shut down all theirpanies. These three


    families controlled 60% of themerce in Jonford. Once their


    industries in Jonford, big and small.


    “When did this happen?” Nash inquired.


    Nash had considered that Duncan might target the top three families,


    but he had not expected the assault to ur before his showdown


    with The Swordsman. It was as if Duncanpletely disregarded


    him.


    Nash contacted Eric.


    “Nash, you’re out of seclusion?” Eric sounded excited.


    “Yes, are you heading to the Sigur Cliff now?” Nash asked.


    “Yes, the Duerson family have already gone there. We need to go hold our ground!”


    “The Eight-Part Scepter is with you, right?” Nash continued to inquire


    “No, it was intercepted,” Eric admitted helplessly/ He then proceeded

    to inform Nash about Angelica and Mireille.


    When Nash heard that Mireille had gone to the Duerson family to


    steal back the scepter, his brows furrowed. “Whose idea was this?”


    Going to the Duerson family seemed like walking into the lion’s den.


    Eric awkwardly replied, “It was her own. We had no other way of


    obtaining scepter otherwise.”


    Before Nash could even start pointing fingers, Eric continued, “Quiet


    Winds Church did not escape disaster either.”


    After taking another firm bite of the apple, Nash asked, “How many


    casualties?”


    “Except for Cillian and a five-year-old disciple, everyone else perished,


    Eric revealed heavily.


    Nash did not ask about the reason behind it. At this point, all the


    questions would be meaningless.


    Seeing Nash silent, Eric spoke again, “We’re almost there; you should


    With that, he ended the call. Nash put down his phone. He lost appetite for the remaining apple and


    casually tossed the half-eat


    fruit into the trash bin.


    Turning around, Hera hugged Nash’s neck and asked, “Are you goin to fight Swordsman?”


    Holding Hera’s soft waist in his arms, he smiled faintly and replied, There will be no peace in Jonford


    until we deal with the Duerson


    family.”


    Hera worried. She had witnessed The Swordsman’s methods and did not want Nash to take such a


    risk. “Can’t anyone from the other departments handle them?”


    Nash tightened his embrace around Hera and smiled, “Are you talking about the National Martial


    Bureau?”


    At these words, Hera’s eyes dimmed. The National Martial Bureau had recently used her to capture


    Nash. They would not likely lend a hand to help him after Nash retaliated.


    At that moment, a group of people walked in, they were Skadi, Bianca, Olivia, Helena, Kai, Zakariah,


    and Brian.


    Hera quickly got out of Nash’s embrace and sat down next to him,


    blushing.


    “Nash, did you break through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm?” Skadi approached and asked.


    Everyone looked at Nash with anticipation. They knew that only Nash could reverse the situation and


    save Jonford


    Nash nodded with a smile. “Fortunately, I managed to break


    Everyone’s expressions rxed at that.


    Nash stood up and said, “I’m going to Sigur Cliff. Stay in Jonfor


    don’t go anywhere!”


    With that, he walked toward the door.
