Chapter 121

However, Nash did not care. As long as he started on the path of cultivation, the shortened lifespan

would naturally be replenished.

After hearing Stellar’s words, Philix was deeply moved and walked up to Nash. “Mr. Calcraft… please

accept my bow!” he said, about to kneel down.

Nash quickly helped Philix stay upright, smiling as he said, “Warden, you mustn’t. You’re a great hero

who guards the Northern Territory, and I’m just a commoner. How can I have you kneel before me?”

With tears in his eyes, Philix said, “Mr. Calcraft, either you become sworn brothers with me, or you

accept my kneeling!”

Stellar whispered, “Warden, Nash is only in his 20s. He could be younger than your son. Are you really

going to swear brotherhood with him?”

Philix glared at Stellar. “Did I ask for your opinion?”

Stellar kept his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.

Truthfully, he wanted to suggest that the warden adopt Nash as his adopted son.

After all, the warden had no children, and after retirement, he would need someone to care for him.

Nash scratched his head. “Then… let’s just become brothers!”

He called out with a hand in his heart, “Martial Brother Philix…”

Philix nodded. “Martial Brother Nash…”

Nash did not feel awkward. After all, his two other martial brothers were even older than the warden.

Besides, he had spent 20 years of his life helping the warden change his fate.

It was not inappropriate to become sworn martial brothers.

Philix spoke solemnly, “Stellar, you must give those who died protecting me a grand burial… In

addition, posthumously grant them top honors, build monuments in their name, and ensure their

families enjoy the benefits entitled to the families of heroes!”

Stellar nodded lightly. “I’ll handle it tomorrow!”

Hearing the warden’s words, both Cillian and Zakariah showed relieved smiles.

Every man must die, yet some deaths were greater than others.

These people died protecting the warden, which was a great achievement, and they would rest in

peace in the afterlife.

That night, everyone stayed at the villa.

Skadi and Hera chatted all night long.

One could not sleep because she had spent the night with the president of Drake Group in Royal Bay.

The other one felt energized because of the events of the night.

Hera was thrilled to hear that Nash and the warden had become sworn brothers.

If her grandfather knew that Nash had important backing like the warden, he would definitely want

Nash to marry her immediately.

She also wondered when her grandfather would regain his memory.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Nash called Hera.

“Hera, I’m sorry. I was held up last night!”

Nash apologized to Hera in a hoarse voice.

Hera laughed. “I heard about it. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big deal?”

Nash smiled and said, “I thought it could be dealt with during the day. I didn’t expect it to be so tricky!”

Skadi must have told Hera everything, so he did not explain much.

Hera spoke gently, “You must have been very tired last night. Rest well at home today, and don’t go

anywhere!”

Nash hummed in response, then asked, “It was thundering all night last night. Did you sleep well?”

“I was at Ms. Olivia’s house, and I even slept with Ms. Olivia!”

Hera spoke softly, trying not to wake Olivia, “Let’s talk later. I’d hate to wake up Ms. Olivia!”

Olivia turned over in her sleep, muttering in her dreams, “I don’t mind. You can chat as you like!”

Hera was embarrassed. “M-Ms. Olivia, are you awake? Did I wake you up?”

Olivia opened her eyes and said with a smile, “Not at all. I woke up a long time ago. I just didn’t want to

disturb your sleep!”

Hearing this, Hera smiled sweetly.

She suddenly found the president of Drake Group so approachable.

Hearing Hera and Olivia’s chat, Nash laughed and said, “It’s still early. You two can sleep some more. I

still have some things to take care of!”

After hanging up the phone, Nash and the others went out to deal with the bodies.

The bodies of all 24 grandmasters from the Martial Arts Association were laid out together.

Along with them were 18 red-robed priests from the National Association of Priests.

Usually, these grandmaster-level practitioners would be held in high esteem.

Seeing the familiar faces now turned into cold bodies, Skadi rushed into Father Cillian’s arms and

started crying, “It’s utterly saddening… I feel so devastated…”

Cillian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his muscles became tense.

Zakariah pulled Skadi over and said with red eyes, “Silly girl, you’re hugging the wrong person…”
