"Mel..." Wendy greeted Melody shyly.


    Melody drove toward them and asked with a frown, "What happened


    to you?"


    Melody could not believe that the young woman in front of her was


    the same young woman she met two days ago.


    "Somebody wanted to kill me..." Wendy pouted and said with a sniffle.


    Feeling sorry for her, Melody offered, "Why don''t you stay at my ce for a few days? Nash''s here too. Nobody will dare to bully you with him around!"


    Wendy nodded and said, "Thanks, Mel!"


    Melody shed her a smile, turned to Nash, and said, "I''ll be off, thel


    Call me if anything!"


    "Will do. Call me if you''re in trouble too!"


    "Okay. See you guyster!" Melody gazed at Nash and reluctantly


    drove off to work.


    Nash led Wendy into the vi.


    The moment they stepped in, Wendy noticed a smell. She asked, "


    What''s this smell?"


    Nash''s face fell as he quickly grabbed a bottle of air freshener and started spraying it all over, especially around the couch area. He used


    up at least half the bottle.


    "Why isn''t Winston with you?" Nash tried to change the topic.


    "He should be at the Jonford Martial Arts Association.


    "We went to visit Grandpa''s grave yesterday afternoon. Then, in the


    evening, a few of my friends asked me out for a drink. I was in a bad


    mood at the time, so I agreed.


    "Winston told me he''d drop by Jonford. My friends and I went drinking


    until midnight, so I crashed at a hotel that night. I went over to


    Jonford the next morning, but I recognized a senior member of the


    Freeman Martial Alliance, so I didn''t dare to get out of the car.


    "I called my brother, but the call didn''t get through, so I went over to


    the Cosmos Martial Arts Hall instead."


    At this point in the story, Wendy paused and said with pursed lips, "I''m


    a bit thirsty. Can I have a ss of water?"


    Nash brought her a bottle of mineral water from the fridge.


    Wendy tried twisting the cap, but after a while, she gazed at Nash and asked


    innocently, "Can you help me out? It''s too tight!"


    Seeing through her tricks, Nash frowned and said, "Seriously? If I''m


    not wrong, you can easily smash a stone into bits, no?"


    "Hmph! Fine!" Wendy pouted.


    She unscrewed the cap, gulped down half of the contents, and continued, "Where was I? Oh yeah. I went to the Cosmos Martial Arts


    Hall, but I saw that the ce was upied too. I had nowhere else to


    go, so I thought of dropping by school to meet up with my best friend. Chapter 1232


    "But when I arrived, I saw someone chasing after me, so I ran. I nearly got caught! I ultimately had to hide inside a cybercafé, and well, you


    know the rest."


    Wendy said with teary eyes, "My brother should be fine, right?"


    "Yeah, don''t worry. Tomorrow''s the day of the Southern Martial Alliance establishment ceremony. They won''t dare to do anything that


    may screw things up!" Nash replied calmly.


    He then took out his phone and sent a message to the Young family


    chat group, tagging each member: [Anybody feeling bored?]


    Yellow Crane: [I''m bored as hell!]


    Bertram: [Wassup?]Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Eric: [I just woke up.]


    Nash: [The Freemans are at the


    Jonford Martial Arts Association Let''s head over and beat them all up!]


    Bertram: [I''m in. Let me invite someone else in too.]


    [Regulus joined the group through a QR code shared by Bertram.]


    Bertram: [I managed to perspire Regulus the other day. He''ll be


    sticking around.]


    Nash sent a smirking face emoji and


    typed: [Perspire? How exactly re? How exactly did you perspire him?


    [Erics sent a smirking face emoji and a popcorn emoji.]


    Felicity sent a drooling face emoji and typed: [000000! You''ve


    sessfully caught my attention, Bertram! I was about todoze Off but not anymore!)


    Bertram: [IT WAS A TYPO! I MEANT PERSUADE!!!]


    Nash knew it was a typo, but he decided to act innocent to lighten up


    the mood. He sent a location link and typed: [Friends, assemble!] As he was about to put away his phone, Nash received a photo from


    Sienna. It was a photo of Theo.


    In the photo, Theo was seated in a private ne, looking out of the


    window with a mncholic expression. Nash hated to admit that


    Theo looked really handsome in the photo. Act Fast: Free Bonus Time is Running Out!
