At Jonford Hotel, Nash warmly entertained Atticus.


    After some discussion, Atticus finally decided to join the Celestial Dragon Squadron. However, he had to reunite with his parents before reporting to the base. At 1:00 pm, Nash sent Ondo and Atticus away.


    Bertram asked solemnly, "Should we follow them?"


    Nash shook his head and said, "We shouldn''t employ them if we have doubts, and we shouldn''t doubt them if we''ve employed them!"


    After a chat with Atticus just now, Nash could see that Atticus sincerely wanted to contribute to the country.


    Secondly, he guessed that Theo was the one who arranged Shadow Pce for the Celestial Dragon Squadron. He trusted the people Theo used.


    In the afternoon, Nash and others arrived at the Celestial Dragon Squadron''s base.


    After handing Floyd to Lumi, Nash retreated into the medicinal materials storeroom.


    Now that Theo had taken that step, Nash had to be ready for war at any time.


    Nash wanted to refine more pills to improve the overall level of the Celestial Dragon Squadron.


    Nobody was idle in the entire base. Everyone was training hard.


    The Dragon Spirit Brigade members ran with weights around eightrge training grounds.


    Lumi taught Wendy, Angelica, and the neer Floyd how to control their supernatural powers. The three of them put on their camouge uniforms, sped their hands behind their backs, and listened carefully. Carlos and Eric were sparring in swordsmanship.


    Regulus and Bertram were fighting fiercely. The sonic boom from their collision of fists resounded over the entire base.


    Regulus shouted, "Don''t hide it, use your Spell-Breaking Fist and Heavenly Revival Fist!"


    Bertramughed loudly. "I''m worried you can''t take it!"


    Regulus sneered, "Bring it on!"


    "Alright..."


    "Spell-Breaking Fist!" Bertram


    punched out fiercely, holding nothing back at all. Whether it was sparring or actualbat, he did not like to be wishy-washy


    "Eight Trigram Palm!" Regulus flipped his wrist and countered with Bertram''s fist. A huge trigram pattern appeared in Regulus'' palm.


    Bertram''s powerful fist hit the trigram pattern, and Regulus immediately flew backward.


    Regr thought, ''Shit... He''s really strong! I should''ve known that his gentleness was just a facade!"


    Regulus fell to the ground and stumbled back several steps.


    Fortunately, the ground was paved with ayer of asphalt. Otherwise, the ground would have been shattered.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Bertramughed arrogantly. "I told you you can''t take it!"


    Regulus sighed. "Let''s stop. I have to go into seclusion for practice. Let''s spar again once I break through to the Profound Oriental Realm!" Bertramughed slyly. "I shall go into seclusion as well. I must break through before you!"


    Eric and Carlos were extremely envious. They were still in the early to middle stages of the Mystique Loyalty Realm, and there was still a long way to go before they reached the Profound Oriental Realm


    ...


    Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Nash went into seclusion at the base during the day and returned to dwell to Hera at night.


    These seven days had been very peaceful.


    Contrary to what Anton mentioned, there was no war between the Nihon Empire''s and Drakonia''s businessmunities.


    However, Nash knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm.


    In these seven days, Nash


    aplished a lot. He refined many pills to strengthen the body and used spiritual stones to carve arge number of array patterns.


    Finn sent over 800 spirit stones, most of which were used to carve array patterns.


    The base had more than 30 basements. All were made of 50-centimeter-thick titanium alloy.
