The next day arrived. After being informed by Maria that Nash had not left the basement since the day before to eat or drink, Hera felt her heart break. Thus, she was now carrying a meal down to the
basement for him.
While she did not understand alchemy, she was certain that Nashâs prolonged work on it must have exhausted him. Not eating all day would have certainly worn his body down.
When she pushed open the basement door, Hera caught a whiff of a -refreshing herbal aroma.
She spotted Nash sitting cross-legged on the cold floor with his eye
closed.
âHoney?â Hera called out playfully.
Nash slowly opened his eyes, his bloodshot irises catching Heral
attention.
Hera felt her heart seize as she rushed over, her voice trembling.â
Your⦠Your eyesâ¦â
Nash softly smiled. âIâm fine. I just havenât gotten any sleep for t
long.â His red eyes were the result of excessive usage of his Th
Eye, but he brushed it off with a casual excuse to prevent Hera fr
worrying.
Hera placed the meal to the side and said in a tone that was filled
with authority, âGo on. Quickly eat and off to bed you go!â

âMm, the pill will be done in no time Iâll eat soon,â Nash replied as he
looked at Heraâs slightly displeased expression.
Hera sat down next to Nash. She touched his face gently, her eyes. reddening as she said, âHoney, youâre working so hard.â
Nash grasped her hand and kissed it lightly. âSnatching someone.
from the gates of hell is no easy task. You go rest. Iâm already at the final stage and canât afford to be distracted,â he replied with a soft
chuckle.
Hera leaned over, planted a kiss on Nashâs cheek, and said, âYouâd better eat later, or Iâll be really upset!â
âYes, my wife!â Nash grinned.
Hera giggled. âYou rascal! Iâm off, then!â She wanted to stay with Nash longer but was worried about disturbing him. If her interferenc
led to the failure of the alchemical process, it could have dire consequences. Hence, Hera left the basement.
Nash took a Rejuvenation Pill and stoked the flame to the max. A
peculiar and eerie wave of heat swept over him. The blue
light in t
Divine Farmerâs Cauldron began to distort. Just what kind of flan
was a third-grade pill fire that it seemed to even threaten his soul?
Nash took a deep breath. He had even considered using his finge
test out the flameâs power.
Two ordinary pearl-sized pills were spinning around swiftly in the Divine Farmerâs Cauldron. This tempering stage would take about
hours. Nash activated his Third Eye to observe the toxins sepa
within the pills.

Outside the villa, not far away, Sydney gritted her teeth while scanning a code to transfer money to an elderly man. Meanwhile, the said man smiled with satisfaction.
âIf your driving skills arenât up to par just hire a driver. Youâre lucky Iâm as fit as a horse. If it were anyone else, theyâd be pushing up daisies. by now.â After saying that, he held his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.
âThat old coot! If only I hadnât hit the brakes earlier!â Sydney fumed
Hér grandfatherâs birthday was in a few days. He initially arranged for someone to deliver an invitation to Nash, but she felt that the core members of the Zell family should be the ones to deliver it personall to show their sincerity.
Hence, she had personally driven to Royal Bay to hand Nash his invitation. It was indeed quite a show of sincerity.

However, she had not adhered to the speed limit signs within the

Meanwhile, Hera was taking Helena out for a walk when she happened to run into Sydney as she was getting out of her car. âHera, is Nash home?â
