Nash’s certainty was just part of his self-confidence.

He was still unsure of himself when he challenged The Swordsman.

Yet, he had no choice but to issue the challenge.

One reason was to fulfill the promise he had made to Grant.

The other reason was to stabilize the Duerson family’s position.

If he did not do that, his friends would be in danger during the time before he achieved the Mystique Loyalty Realm.

Hera lowered her head to wipe her tears dry, her voice sounding

choked up as she said, “I just can’t imagine how I’m going to live if

anything were to happen to you!”

Nash had always been in danger ever since she got to know him.

It seemed like a sea of fire and a mountain of swords sprawled ahead

of Nash. There was a solitary wooden bridge that would lead him.

past those seas and mountains.

Nash was shakily making his way across the bridge and would

plummet to death if he were not careful.

“That’s enough. Don’t say such unlucky things out loud. My dad read

my fortune before, and he said I’m a very tough nut who won’t be so

easily taken by the Grim Reaper!”

Nash grinned as he pulled Hera into his arms.

Hera leaned against Nash’s chest, tears brimming in her eyes as she said, “I don’t want anything to happen to you. I won’t be able to stand

it if you ever abandon me one day!”

Nash stiffened slightly. He did not say anything and merely tightened

his arms around Hera.

The two finished watching their movie and bought various snacks to

enjoy as they made their way through a bazaar.

It was ten o’clock at night by the time they returned to Royal Bay.

Maria had finished her work, and the mansion was empty.

Hera and Nash had shopping bags of various sizes in their arms.

After placing the shopping bags on the coffee table, Nash slumped

down onto the couch and let out a long breath.

Hera put on a pair of slippers that were adorably designed to look like

pandas and filled two cups with warm water. She handed one to

Nash. Then, she sat beside him and chuckled. “Are you very tired?”

Nash downed the warm water in one go before saying, “Yes, but I’m

also very happy!”

Hera noticed the thin layer of sweat on Nash’s forehead and put her

cup down so she could grab a piece of Kleenex. She patted his

forehead dry. She said teasingly, “You seem so weak…”

Nash grabbed Hera’s wrist and narrowed his eyes as he asked, “What

did you say?”

Startled, Hera hurriedly shook her head and said, “N-Nothing!”

The corner of Nash’s lips curled upward. “I heard what you said. Did you just say I seemed weak?”

Hera gulped and gathered her courage to say, “Well, isn’t that so? You never broke a sweat in the past when we went shopping, and you’d never looked as exhausted as you do now!”

Nash sprang to his feet and swung Hera onto his shoulders.

Hera cried out and slapped his back as she said, “You bastard, what

are you doing?”

“I’m going to get my darling wife to check just how weak I am!”

Nash carried Hera up the stairs as he spoke.

Soon, sounds of them giggling playfully could be heard coming from

the second floor.

Then, these sounds transformed into some peculiar sounds.

However, that was not the case for long. Soon, Hera could be heard.

laughing uproariously.

The next day, Felicity arrived at Royal Bay.

She was accompanied by a handsome-looking man clad in a suit. He

wore sunglasses and a baseball cap

Maria got both of them some warm water.

“Ms. Snyder, who is this?”

The handsome-looking man looked both familiar and unfamiliar to

Maria. She could not help but voice her question out loud.

“Oh, him? This is Jaxon!”

Felicity laughed as she wrapped her hands around her cup.

“May peace be with you!”

Jaxon brought his palms together and chanted in greeting.

Maria could not help but laugh as well. “This is a much better look!”

When Felicity heard that, she immediately turned to Jaxon and grinned as she said, “See, I told you, didn’t I? Has anyone been able to stop themselves from praising your current style?”
