Chapter 212
âPeople have challenged us many times, and every time, theyâve left with their tails between their legs!
âSagenâs martial arts school lost to us three years ago, and yet they dare to challenge us again⦠I wonder who gave them the courage!â
Skadi lifted her chin with pride, radiating an arrogant demeanor.
Hera sighed. âItâs a pity I have a lot on my plate today. Otherwise, I would have gone to cheer you on!â
The company was not so busy in the past, so she would always go to cheer them on whenever Zabel Martial Arts School undertook a challenge.
Skadi chuckled. âYou just focus on your own matters. Seeing you overcome your grief has already made me happy!â
Hera turned to Nash. âWhy donât you go and record the event? I can watch it in the eveningâ¦â Skadi grinned. âSilly girl, our martial arts school has cameras everywhere. I can just send you the footage later. Nash should stay at the company and help youâ¦â
Before she could finish, Skadiâs phone rang from her bag.
It was a call from Bianca.
As soon as she answered, she heard Biancaâs apologetic voice. âHera, I might not be able to make it. A woman who claims to be the Sagen Womenâs Boxing Champion just challenged me at the club⦠I have a match this afternoon, so I need to train now!â
âAlright, I understand. Good luck!â
After hanging up, Skadi furrowed her brows and muttered, âSagenâs martial arts school, Sagen Boxing Champion, why is it always people from Sagen?â
Hearing Skadiâs murmurs, Nash grew wary. âIâll come with you!â
He was acquainted with both Skadi and Bianca.
Both received challenges from Sagen at the same time.
This made him suspect that the challengers had ties with the Green Bamboo Association.
Skadi could not help but laugh and say, âJust stay with my bestie. Itâs just a small martial arts school, not a big deal!â
Their martial arts school would accept various challenges every year, so she was used to these things.
Bianca had recently been crowned champion of the Phoenix Crown, so it was quite normal for her to be challenged by other champions.
The fact that all the challengers came from Sagen was likely a coincidence.
âWell, Iâm off to the martial arts school now!â
Skadi turned and left gracefully.
Nash frowned thoughtfully as he watched Skadi leave.
Was it really just a coincidence? Or was the Green Bamboo Association targeting people close to him because they did not dare touch him?
Noticing Nashâs concerned gaze, Hera chuckled and asked, match?â
âDo you
want to go watch Skadiâs
Nash whispered, âBoth challengers are from Sagen, and the most significant underground force in Sagen is the Green Bamboo Association. I killed a core member of the Green Bamboo Association when I saved you and Skadi last time. I suspect these challenges have ties with them!â
âShould I stop Skadi from accepting this challenge?â
Worry flashed in Heraâs eyes as she rose from her seat.
Nash shook his head. âIâll go and check it out. If theyâre from the Green Bamboo Association, I have my ways to deal with them!â
Hera held Nashâs hand and said softly, âPlease refrain from being reckless as well. Remember, youâre not alone now. You have a family, understand?â
Her gentle words resonated with Nashâs heart.
There was a time when every mission he took was a matter of life and death.
That was due to not only the tempering of his master but also his will to move forward bravely and never back down.
In any case, he was all alone, so even if he died, there were no regrets.
Yet now, he had a wife and parents-in-law who treated him as their own.
Perhaps if such a mission came up again, he would think twice.
This was the responsibility of a husband.
Skadi got
into her red Maserati parked by the roadside, identical to the one Hera bought. They had gotten their cars together.
Just as she started the engine, she saw Nash coming out of the company.
âYouâre being too polite here, walking me out this far.â
Skadi said, leaning out of the car window.
Nash approached the car, opened the door, and got in. âLetâs go. I want to see whatâs happening at your martial arts school.â
