Chapter 870

Nash reached out into the air and an apple from the fruit tray on the

coffee table flew into his hand. He took a bite and chewed

thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Hera disclosed the events that happened to the Watsons,

Zells, and Lees to him. The three families had transferred 70% of their

assets. In an attempt to resist Duncan’s dominance, the families’

trusted subordinates shut down all their companies. These three

families controlled 60% of the commerce in Jonford. Once their

companies shut down, it would trigger a butterfly effect, affecting all

industries in Jonford, big and small.

“When did this happen?” Nash inquired.

Nash had considered that Duncan might target the top three families,

but he had not expected the assault to occur before his showdown

with The Swordsman. It was as if Duncan completely disregarded

him.

Nash contacted Eric.

“Nash, you’re out of seclusion?” Eric sounded excited.

“Yes, are you heading to the Sigur Cliff now?” Nash asked.

“Yes, the Duerson family have already gone there. We need to go hold our ground!”

“The Eight-Part Scepter is with you, right?” Nash continued to inquire

“No, it was intercepted,” Eric admitted helplessly/ He then proceeded

Chopper $70

to inform Nash about Angelica and Mireille.

When Nash heard that Mireille had gone to the Duerson family to

steal back the scepter, his brows furrowed. “Whose idea was this?”

Going to the Duerson family seemed like walking into the lion’s den.

Eric awkwardly replied, “It was her own. We had no other way of

obtaining scepter otherwise.”

Before Nash could even start pointing fingers, Eric continued, “Quiet

Winds Church did not escape disaster either.”

After taking another firm bite of the apple, Nash asked, “How many

casualties?”

“Except for Cillian and a five-year-old disciple, everyone else perished,

Eric revealed heavily.

Nash did not ask about the reason behind it. At this point, all the

questions would be meaningless.

Seeing Nash silent, Eric spoke again, “We’re almost there; you should

come over quickly!”

With that, he ended the call. Nash put down his phone. He lost appetite for the remaining apple and casually tossed the half-eat

fruit into the trash bin.

Turning around, Hera hugged Nash’s neck and asked, “Are you goin to fight Swordsman?”

Holding Hera’s soft waist in his arms, he smiled faintly and replied, There will be no peace in Jonford until we deal with the Duerson

family.”

Hera worried. She had witnessed The Swordsman’s methods and did not want Nash to take such a risk. “Can’t anyone from the other departments handle them?”

Nash tightened his embrace around Hera and smiled, “Are you talking about the National Martial Bureau?”

At these words, Hera’s eyes dimmed. The National Martial Bureau had recently used her to capture Nash. They would not likely lend a hand to help him after Nash retaliated.

At that moment, a group of people walked in, they were Skadi, Bianca, Olivia, Helena, Kai, Zakariah, and Brian.

Hera quickly got out of Nash’s embrace and sat down next to him,

blushing.

“Nash, did you break through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm?” Skadi approached and asked.

Everyone looked at Nash with anticipation. They knew that only Nash could reverse the situation and save Jonford

Nash nodded with a smile. “Fortunately, I managed to break

Everyone’s expressions relaxed at that.

Nash stood up and said, “I’m going to Sigur Cliff. Stay in Jonfor

don’t go anywhere!”

With that, he walked toward the door.
