“He underestimated his enemy,” Duncan replied without even waiting for Boris to respond.


    ck Gem nodded approvingly at Duncan. “Exactly. You lot were too careless. Nash is Johnathan’s

    student, who’s known as the


    Terrestrial Immortal. How could the student of such a figure be easy


    to deal with?”


    He lifted the teacup from the table and took a sip before continuing,” If The Swordsman hadn’t


    underestimated his enemy and had been willing to expend a bit more effort, he might have been able to


    unleash the Seventh sh of the Seven Killings de Technique…”


    Surprised, Boris paused before asking, “Could the Seventh sh


    counter the Infinite Divine Thunder Spell?”


    The Swordsman died from Nash’s Infinite Divine Thunder Spell. They.


    had all witnessed its power, and the destruction it caused was


    undeniable.


    Boris had calcted at the time. Even if The Swordsman had u


    Seventh sh, it might not have been enough to withstand the


    of the Infinite Divine Thunder Spell.


    ck Gem smiled faintly and said, “We might have had a chance.”


    Duncan sighed bitterly. “We underestimated him because we had the


    ghoul overlord. We relied on it. If I hadn’t lost the scepter, victory


    would have been ours!”


    After a moment of silence, ck Gem sighed and said, “Let bygones


    be bygones. Take some time to recuperate. I’ll go out and gather


    information on the National Martial Bureau.”


    With that, he stood up and left with White Gem.


    Nash and Hera continued walking until the sun set before they gged down a taxi.


    “To Royal Bay, please,” Nash said to the driver.


    Hera wrapped her arms around Nash’s arm affectionately, resting her


    head on his shoulder with a happy smile on her face.


    “Let’s go watch a movie,” Nash suggested.


    As the driver was about to turn the car around, he chuckled and


    asked, “Are you sure? So are we going to Royal Bay or to the movie


    theater?”


    Hera looked at Nash in surprise. “Are… Are you going to apany


    me to the movies?”


    Nash smiled gently. “Can’t I?”


    “Of course, you can!”


    “Sir, make for the movie theater!” Nash decided.


    Hera’s eyes welled up slightly. She felt somewhat excited. The time she watched a movie with Nash


    was on her birthday. Since then


    they had both been so busy that they had not had time to go out


    together for a walk or shopping.


    She could not help but feel excited now that Nash suggested that


    they go to the movie theater.


    Nash held Hera close, his gaze deep as he looked out at the rapidly receding scenery through the


    window.


    Whether it was because they had dealt with the ghoul overlord or


    because he had broken through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm, his state of mind seemed to have


    quietly changed.


    Though there were still many things awaiting his attention, he felt


    more inclined to go with the flow.


    Hera lifted her head to look at Nash, asking softly, “Nash, do you have


    something on your mind?”


    Nash lowered his head and gazed into Hera’s clear eyes. He smiled. Something on my mind? What


    could it be?”


    Hera tilted her head back and lightly bit Nash’s chin. “You definitely


    have something on your mind. That’s why you’re bringing me out to


    rx and apanying me to the movies!”


    With that, she got out of Nash’s embrace and asked cautiously, “Jus


    tell me honestly. Are you not confident about taking down ck Win


    Mountains?”


    She recalled Nash discussing with Eric during the day about


    annihting ck Wind Mountains. As had reported that ck.


    Wind Mountains had eight Mystique Loyalty Realm experts. Skadi had


    mentioned that even the National Martial Bureau only had three


    Mystique Loyalty Realm experts.


    If even the National Martial Bureau could not handle ck Wind


    Mountains, why were Nash and the others so determined to wipe


    them out? Were they not just asking for trouble?


    “Don’t overthink it. Your husband has never done anything without confidence!” Nash pinched Hera’s


    nose.


    “Your confidence stems from your self-assurance!” Hera leaned back


    in her seat, looking somewhat mncholic.


    When Nash was unconscious, she had seen the terrifying wounds on his body. It made her realize how


    much danger he had been in.


    “Confidence is self-assurance! Self-assurance leads one to the peak.” Nash grinned.


    Hera was right.
