Peggy heaved an inward sigh of relief.
The crisis had finally been resolved.
She excitedly made her way to Cell 1.
When she opened the door, she saw Nash asleep on the bed.
âYou can leave now, Nash!â
Peggy rolled her eyes as she thought to herself, âYouâre a bold one. Things outside the cell are so chaotic, and yet youâre napping!â
âThe investigation is over?â
Nash opened his eyes and leaned back against the headboard after sitting up. He did not make any move to leave.
âYes. You had nothing to do with the loss of those 30 lives!â
Peggy added cheerfully, âCongratulations on regaining freedom!â
âThis is a pretty comfortable place to live in, and I get to be served by someone as beautiful as you are. I donât feel like leaving anymore.â
Nash stretched his arms behind his back as he spoke lazily.
A stunned look appeared on Peggyâs face. âBut you were trying to break out of jail just a while ago. Weâre allowing you to leave now, but you donât want to leave anymore?â
Nash grinned. âThatâs right, Iâve changed my mind. I want to spend at few more days here!â

He guessed that the men from the Northern Territory had arrived.
At the end of the day, the men from the National Martial Bureau had still succumbed to the pressure that those men had brought.
If that were the case, he would let them continue feeling fearful.
âNo, you must leave!â
Peggy walked over to the bed and pulled the covers away.
Then, her eyes widened as she stood rooted to the spot.
He⦠He wasnât wearing anything?
Pigtails happened to witness everything as she walked in with Nashâs clothing.
âSorry for intruding!â
Pigtails scampered off once she put the clothes down.
When Peggy heard Pigtailsâ voice, she jerked back to her senses and blushed furiously as she said, âYou hooliganâ¦â
Nash grabbed the blanket and pulled it over himself again as he said, â Youâre the one being a hooligan. You knew my clothes had been taken away to be washed, but you still decided to pull the covers off me. You did this on purpose, didnât you?â
Peggyâs face had turned so red she looked like a tomato. She walked over to the table by the door and picked up Nashâs clothing so that she could toss them onto the bed. âPut your clothes on and leaveâ¦â
âYou wouldnât let me leave when I wanted to, and I donât feel like
leaving this place anymore!â Nash said unhurriedly as he lay down.
âThe
Northern Territory men are going to open fire if you continue
refusing to leave. Do you really want to witness innocent people dying because of you?â
Peggy glared at Nash before saying frostily, âBesides, werenât you
worried about your wifeâs safety? Donât you want to hurry home and
see how sheâs doing?â
âTurn aroundâ¦â
âHuh?â
âHow am I supposed to get dressed if you donât turn around? Are you trying to get another look at me?â
âEw, no one wants that!â
Peggy blushed as she turned around.
Nash grabbed his boxers and began pulling them up his legs.
He abruptly realized his boxers had been sloppily mended.
Damnâ¦.
Not only did Pigtails not know how to wash clothing properly, but she
had also ripped his boxers while washing them.
Nash got dressed quickly, and he made his way toward the entrance.â
No need to see me off. Till we meet again!â
At that moment, Bobby appeared at Cell 1âs entrance, bringing with
him Frank Gomez, two majors, and several squad leaders.
Bobby seemed calm on the outside, but he was actually panicking internally.
Another three minutes before the half-hour ran out.
The Northern Territory men were going to start bombing them if Nashi still refused to leave.
When Hudson noticed how young Nash was, he could not help
exclaiming. âAll the doctors in the world didnât know what to do when the Northern Territory Warden was gravely ill. How did you manage to bring him back to life?â
Nash glanced at the three stars on Hudsonâs shoulder patch.
He was a major, just like Stellar was.
The person standing beside Hudson was a major as well.
They were probably from two of the three territories that formed the
Eastern, Southern, and Western Great War Territories.
Since they were standing alongside Bobby, it meant two out of the
Four Great Territories had close ties to the National Martial Bureau.
