Zakariah exclaimed, âF*cking Green Bamboo Association⦠they crossed the line!â
Bang!
Justin grinned as he stood up and rubbed his chest. He asked, âThat means⦠they didnât do anything because of me?â
Nash nodded and said, âI believe so!â
Justin excitedly responded, âThis outfit is too cool! When Walter saw me today it was like he was meeting his grandfather!â
Nash was taken aback. âYou went to the Watson household?â
Justin recalled his experience in the Watson household.
Nash was in a cold sweat as he listened to Justin. It was fortunate that he returned to the Zabel household on time. If it were any later, the Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut would have attacked them.
That move was incredibly dangerous.
He was not cautious enough.
When he arrived at the villa, Hera was dozing off while wrapped in a thin blanket.
Nash sat beside Hera and gently pulled her into his arms. He said affectionately, âWhy arenât you asleep yet?â
Hera snuggled into Nashâs arms and coquettishly whispered, âI was waiting for you!â
Nash lightly kissed Hera on the forehead. âIâm back now, go to sleep. Or youâll be tired tomorrow!â
Hera shook her head and said, âBianca has been taking care of Skadi for really long hours. Iâm switching places with her later!â
Nash said helplessly, âYou guys truly have a good relationship!â
At that point, Justin leaned over and said, âHera, go to sleep, Iâll look for Skadi laterâ¦â
Hera glanced at Justin. âGo get changed, or Skade is going to think youâre the real Smiling Grim Reaper!â
Justin pouted and said, âYeah but I havenât visited Skadi as the Smiling Grim Reaper yet!â
Nash asked, âHasnât Skadi been asking to see the Smiling Grim Reaper? Why havenât you gone to see her?â
Hera chuckled. âThis guy went to the Watson household for a while and then the real Smiling Grim Reaper showed up. However, that reaper seemed to be a bit dumb today so we all thought that it was Justin. Mr. Zabel even yelled at him!â
When she heard that, Hera shuffled around in Nashâs arms and whispered, âYou mean⦠the real Smiling Grim Reaper⦠how did he know Skadi was hurt?â
Nash scrunched his nose. âI think Cillian told him!â
âIs that so?â
Hera looked at Nash with watery eyes. After her and Biancaâs detailed analysis of the fight and initial judgment, she suspected that Nash was the Smiling Grim Reaper.
She noticed that Nash had a cut on his lip and bruises on his face so she immediately asked, âYou⦠How did you get hurt?â
Nash grinned and explained. âI accidentally fell!â
Hera angrily asked, âDo you think Iâm an idiot?â
Nash held Hera tightly and said dotingly, âArenât you my cute little fool?â
Hera pushed Nash away and stared at him with her cheeks puffed.
Her slender fingers gently stroked the wound on Nashâs lips and she asked worryingly, âDoes it hurt?
âA bit!â Nash nodded.
âThatâs not good, Iâll bring you some painkillers!â Hera said.
âThereâs a natural painkiller in saliva. Itâs called Opiorphin and it has an analgesic effect!â Nash explained with a straight face.
Hera instantly understood what Nash meant so she put her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Justin was stood behind the sofa they were sitting on and the edge of his lips fiercely twitched while
he buried his face in his hands.
Bianca walked down the stairs from the second floor with a bowl of medicine. âDr. Tanner, Skadeâs
fever subsidedâ¦â
Brian was asleep on a chair with a blanket. When he heard Biancaâs voice, he awoke. âThatâs good⦠thatâs good that the fever has subsidedâ¦â
He stretched, let out a big yawn, and said, âMake another dose of medicine and itâll be ready after
dawnâ¦â
Hera heard their voices and immediately pulled herself from Nash. She was blushing hard as she shyly asked, âDoes it still hurt?â
âNot anymoreâ¦â
âIâll go accompany Skade now, go find a place to rest too!â Hera blushed and ran upstairs.
