Casey waspletely baffled. Had he... encountered a madman? "Sir, I''m of an advanced age. I can''t


    withstand this sort of torment.


    "I have many young and fit bodyguards downstairs, you see..." His face burned with embarrassment,


    his heart in turmoil. Even if tastes differed, they should not involve an old man like him. Nash''s


    eyebrows furrowed. "Do I need to repeat myself?"


    His cold gaze made Casey''s breathing halt. In the end, he could only acquiesce as his life was more


    important. He walked over to the couch opposite Nash, turned around, and untied his belt to his


    bathrobe. As the robe fell, a ck lotus mark on his back came into view.


    Nash activated his Third Eye and examined the ck lotus mark, noting countlessplex lines


    interwoven throughout Casey''s body that went as deep as to entangle with his soul.


    "Sir, please proceed..." Casey supported himself on the couch, looking as if he was enduring


    humiliation.


    "How much do you know about the Church of the Netherworld?" Nash asked.


    Casey froze for a few seconds, then turned around and stared intently at Nash. "Who exactly are you?"


    "You only need to answer my question," Nash replied calmly.


    "I... I don''t know what you''re talking about!" Casey scrambled to put on his bathrobe thaty on the


    floor.


    Nash responded, "If I was able to find you, it''s because I know your secrets!"


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about. Just get out, get out now!" Casey, losing control of his


    emotions, even grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table''s fruit te and held it to his neck. He


    shouted, "Get out... Get out!"


    Nash stood up. "Calm down. I''ll leave!" The ck lotus mark was embedded deeply in Casey''s soul


    and Nash was not confident he could remove it. Turning into a fleeting shadow, Nash left through the


    balcony.


    Casey dropped the fruit knife and sat on the couch, gasping for breath.


    Suddenly, a young voice echoed behind Casey. "Mr. Sazza."


    Casey was startled and immediately reached for the fruit knife. Nash swiftly inserted a golden needle


    into Casey''s spine. Fingers forming a seal, he struck Casey''s crown with a rune.


    At Vi No. 7 at the top of the hill in dwell, Nash had justnded when a white figure floated out.


    Jaxon sped his hands together


    and greeted, The Light guides." He looked at the person Nash was carrying on his shoulder with


    out in the middle of the night


    puzzlement and asked, "Did you go


    kidnap someone?"


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Nash almost stumbled, shocked by the unexpected questioning from a respected priest.


    "He''s with the Church of the Netherworld. Let''s study the ck lotus mark on his body," Nash replied as


    he carried Casey into the living room, the smart lights automatically turning on.


    Heid Casey face down on the couch, pulled down the cor of his robe, and exposed the ck lotus


    mark on his back. "See if you can remove this ck lotus mark," he urged.


    The lotus was associated with the Path, so Nash decided to seek Jaxon''s counsel on this matter.


    Golden swastika symbols appeared in Jaxon''s pupils, suggesting a technique simr to Nash''s Third


    Eye. Momentster, Jaxon brought his hands together in prayer and chanted scriptures that Nash


    could not understand.


    A golden lotus then appeared above Jaxon''s head, emanating a vast Mythic aura thatpelled Nash


    to bow his head. He turned his head away.
