Hearing Winnieâs voice, Hera immediately broke free from Nashâs embrace. âIâm off to work. See you tonight!â With that, she swiftly walked out.
Nash glanced at Winnie indifferently before heading straight to the villaâs living room.
Eric greeted him with a smile, âHave you refined the Golden Onyx Pill?â
Nash shook his head and smiled bitterly. âIt canât be done in a short time. It takes a long time to refine some of the medicinal stones. This is a fifth-grade elixir. How could it be so easy? Donât be impatient. Atlas, prepare some tea.â
Eric sat with Nash on the sofa. Nash glanced at Jesebel and Winnie, then asked with a smile, âWho are these two?â
âThis is the nutritionist, Jesebel. And this is-â
âIâm the maid, Winnie!â Winnie interrupted Ericâs introduction and
introduced herself.
Atlas furrowed his brows slightly. âYou shouldnât interrupt the master when heâs talking.â This lively and agile young woman did not look like understood priorities.
Winnie stuck out her tongue and said obediently, âGot it.â
Eric waved his hand. âYou two can go and do your work now.â
Winnie grabbed an apron and started to clean the room while Jesebel
went out to buy ingredients for lunch.
Eric smiled and said, âAre you here to express your gratitude? Weâre
like brothers. Thereâs no need to be so formal!â
Nash was a stickler for rules and etiquette. He must have known
about what happened last night, which was why he came to thank
Eric.
âExpress my gratitude? For what?â
Nash stared at Eric in confusion.
âUm⦠You donât know what happened last night?â Ericâs face turned
awkward.
âWhat happened last night?â Nash continued to ask.
âLast night, your father-in-law got possessed by an evil force. He
almost killed his own older brother. It was my master who saved
them!â Atlas explained.
Eric glared at Atlas. âThe adults are talking. Kids shouldnât interrupt. Go play somewhere else!â
Atlas called Winnie a child just now, yet he himself was acting like one now. With a flushed face, Atlas sat on the opposite sofa quietly.
Eric told Nash about what transpired the night before. Then, taking on
the attitude of someone more mature, he reproached, âI donât mean to criticize you, but your parents-in-law are ordinary people. You should consider their safety and maybe hire some strong individuals to
protect them.â
âCan you introduce me to some?â Nash smiled.
It was not difficult to find martial artists, but ordinary martial artists. would not be of much help. Finn and Melody were prime examples. Melody was fine as she was at the Profound Reality Realm.
Finnâs grandmaster-level cultivation was simply not enough for him to be considered. Powerful martial artists typically did not have much desire for money.
Moreover, Nash only knew a few Profound Reality Realm cultivators.
Most of them were either abroad or living in seclusion deep in the
mountains.
Eric forced a smile. âItâd be easier for me to look for Path takers for
you. Looking for martial artists is a bit challenging for me.â
Nash chuckled. âForget it. Everything will be solved when I break
through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm.â
Winnie placed the cleaned tea set on the coffee table and then
crouched down to start brewing tea.
Nash withdrew his gaze from her short skirt and said in a deep voice,
I hired Jasper to protect my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but I
donât know where that guy disappeared to.â
Eric had encountered Jasper before, and they even got into a brief
fight. In close combat, Eric was not Jasperâs match. If there was a bit
of a distance between the two, however, Eric could then use his Path
techniques and easily give Jasper a run for his money.
âJasper is still alive?â Eric was slightly surprised. The man was quite.
well-known, and there were rumors that he had disappeared for many
years. Some even said he was dead. Unexpectedly, he had returned to
Charte
Longford and was hired by Nash as a bodyguard for his in-laws.
