Chapter 564

Being best friends and given their past experiences, Skadi did not

want to be too direct in her words. Still, she felt the need to give Heral some

gentle reminders.

“With everything going on recently, let’s talk about this after things. settle

down,” Skadi suggested.

Hera nodded, keeping her head low. She only felt comfortable discussing these

matters with Skadi.

Glancing at the time, Skadi said, “I have to go back to the school. Remember to

try the duck I brought. The flavor is absolutely incredible!”

Hera escorted Skadi to the door and then left in her car. Skadi slowed

down after covering some distance, her eyes watching both sides of the road

vigilantly. She was thankful that the elderly man was not

around.

“It’d be baseless to claim that the Baroque fire

Nash smiled. “Let’s wait until Kai wakes up before making any

conclusions.”

If it was orchestrated by Duncan, he would have been meticulous with his planning. What

was more, he had managed to get a Mystique. Loyalty Realm powerhouse to work for him.

His visit yesterday was a direct challenge to him.

Not only was Duncan a threat to him, but he also put those around Nash at risk. Nash had

already placed Duncan on his mental death

list.

“Did you personally investigate Splendor?” Nash asked.

“No, I had someone else do it. I enlisted Louis, a member of the Watson family and

Walter’s nephew. He’s also the regional manager for Splendor. It’s unlikely that anyone

from the Watson family would. betray us, right?”

Melody replied confidently, believing that she handled the situation

perfectly.

She figured Nash would praise her this time, but he just stared at her for a long time

without saying a word. Melody started feeling a bit unsure. “Did I do something wrong?”

Nash went back to cleaning the residue off the cauldron while.

as you imagine.”

Melody got a little mad. “If you have something to say, just say it. I

further explanation.

Melody looked at Nash suspiciously, “So, is this your way of praising me?”

Nash nodded very seriously, “Of course!”

“That’s good enough, then.” Melody’s expression softened a bit.

Then, she looked at Finn, who was covered in black sweat. She asked with

surprise, “Has Finn taken the pills?”

“Yeah, if nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up tomorrow,” Nash

confidently stated.

“And what about Kai?”

“I’m in the process of preparing a pill for him.”

“I won’t disturb you, then.” With that, Melody turned around to leave,

“Close the door!” Nash called out.

There was a bang as Melody shut the heavy, titanium alloy door.

Nash then picked up his phone and called Walter.

“Dr. Calcraft?”
