Chapter 59

He was wearing a bowler hat, and his hands were shoved into his pockets. He looked very grim.

Seemingly sensing Nash’s gaze on him, the man slowly raised his head and took off his sunglasses to look at him.

It was Stellar.

Nash walked over to him quickly and asked with a smile, “Is the Warden here?”

Stellar nodded. “The Warden just arrived today but will be attending Mr. Lee’s birthday banquet tomorrow.”

Nash shrugged. “Then why did you come to see me so early?”

Stellar took out a check for a hundred million dollars. “I already know who you are. This is your reward for protecting the Warden.”

Nash was slightly taken aback. “The Warden has so many experts around him. Is my protection still needed?”

As an overlord, the Warden would, of course, be protected by powerhouses when he went out, so why waste this money on him?

Stellar replied in a deep voice, “We received information that someone from the Blood Fiend Organization will try to assassinate the Warden tomorrow!”

“Blood Fiend Organization?”

Nash’s expression changed slightly.

In the dark web, there was the more terrifying blood leaderboard apart from the assassin leaderboard.

The assassin leaderboard was just a ranking leaderboard that recorded the strength of every professional killer.

The blood leaderboard ranked the top ten killers from the assassin leaderboard.

In other words, the ones lowest on the blood leaderboard were those who would be part of the top ten in the assassin leaderboard.

The Blood Fiend Organization was established by those on the blood leaderboard. This organization had struck fear into the world. They could even assassinate the head of a country as long as they were compensated enough.

Seeing that Nash was in a daze, Stellar took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it to his mouth. He then took out a match to light the cigarette. “Are you scared?” he asked.

Nash accepted the check from Stellar and replied, “That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”

Stellar puffed out a smoke ring. “I’ll pick you up at six tomorrow morning.’

After that, he turned and walked away toward the Rolls-Royce parked by the side of the road.

“This is not easy money.”

Nash shoved the check into his pocket and walked into the neighborhood slowly.

When he arrived at the door of his apartment, he was about to open the door when he noticed something strange.

There were new fingerprints on the fingerprint lock on the door.

Ordinary people would miss details like this, but Nash was once a top killer. Nothing escaped his eyes.

The fingerprints were slender, and he guessed that Hera was back.

After entering the house, Nash lay directly on the bed and glanced behind the curtain from the corner of his eye. “Come out. Your feet are exposed…”

Hera opened the curtains and complained, “Can’t you pretend you didn’t know?”

She sat at the computer table and slid the chair to the bed, chittering, “Nash, my grandpa has allowed you to work in our

company.”

“Why did the old man suddenly change his mind?” Nash asked, surprised.

She smiled coquettishly. “My parents talked to Grandpa for a long time before he agreed.”

He laughed dumbly.

Now that Baroque was cooperating with Drake Group, Hera’s family’s status in the old man’s heart would naturally rise.

“Also, Mr. Lee sent three invitations to our family for his 80th birthday tomorrow!”

Hera took out an invitation card from her bag and waved it. “You can come with us tomorrow.”

The Lewis family was extremely excited to be invited by the Lees.

Hera was no exception. The Lees were one of the top wealthiest families in Jonford, after all.

She was also aware that the reason why the Lees invited their family to the banquet this time was entirely because Baroque and Drake Group had signed a partnership agreement.

Nash put his hands on the back of his head and said helplessly, “But I have other things to do tomorrow.”

Hera said unhappily, “What’s better than attending Mr. Lee’s birthday banquet? Many important people will be there tomorrow. It’ll be your honor if you’re lucky enough to meet one or two of them.”
