Chapter 19
The brawny man said nothing. He just turned around and left.
After a momentâs hesitation, Nash stepped forward and followed him.
A Cullinan was parked on the side of the main road outside the manor.
It was the same one he saw when he went shopping with Hera before.
The brawny man walked up to the car and opened the door.
Nash understood what he meant and got into the car without hesitation.
An old man and a middleâaged man were in it.
The old manâs aura was restrained but also at ease. There was a sense of majesty and kindness. in his eyes.
The middleâaged man had a beard and exuded a murderous aura.
It was an aura that was tempered from being on the battlefield for a long time.
The old man put a hand to his heart and said with a smile, âIâm Zakariah Sinclair. Hello, young Nash Calcraft.â
The middleâaged man kept things curt and simply said, âStellar Orwell!â
âDid you look for me for something?â Nash said in an extremely indifferent tone as he looked out the car window.
He thought these people had been targeting Hera before.
Unexpectedly, they were after him.
He hated the feeling of being followed.
However, he sensed no malice from these people.
Otherwise, he would not have wasted his time and taken a seat.
Seeing Nashâs indifference, Zakariah laughed and said, âDonât blame Stellar. We just wish to get your help in curing an ailment.â
âIs this how you invite someone?â Nash asked coldly.
Zakariah felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave hearing how cold his tone was.
His expression changed slightly, and he immediately circulated his inner energy to resist the pressure Nash brought about.
However, in less than three seconds, all his inner energy dissipated.
Zakariahâs face was pale as he stared at Nash in disbelief.
His strength as a martial arts master was crushed by this young man so easily?
When he heard Skadi mention this personâs strength yesterday, he thought she had been exaggerating.
Looking at it now, he was much stronger than what Skadi had described!

Zakariah put his hand to his heart again. âMr. Calcraft, heâs a unique individual. Youâre the only one who can cure himâ¦â
Nash reeled his aura back in and looked up at the rearview mirror only to catch Stellar watching him.
Stellar looked away and rumbled in a deep voice, âThe person youâll be healing is the warden. of the Northern Territoryâ¦â
Nashâs eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that.
A warden, and one who was in charge of a territory.
His
power should be monstrous.
There were only four wardens in Drakonia.
After a moment of silence, Nash asked slowly, âWhatâs wrong with him?â
âA poison that causes deossification!â
âA parasitic poison?â Astonishment colored Nashâs eyes.
He had traveled all over the country and practiced countless medicines, but he had never treated parasitic poison.
A poison that could cause deossification was one extremely potent parasitic poison.
Once poisoned, the victimâs bones and joints would loosen within one month and start decaying by the second.
In three months, the bones would be reduced to ashes.
It was a kind of parasitic poison that made living worse than death.
The warden who commanded thousands of troops would be brutally murdered just like that.
It was most likely done by his trusted aide.
âItâs been 25 days!â
Stellar looked worried. He turned back to look at Nash and asked, âCan he be cured?â
âIâm not sure, but I can tryâ¦â
âI wonât put the warden at risk if youâre not fully confident.â
Stellar added coldly, âThe Northern Territory is under the wardenâs protection. If something happens to him during the treatment, the border will be thrown into chaos!â
Nash shrugged his shoulders. âThen hire someone else!â
