Chapter 951

Venturing into a den despite knowing a tiger was in it….

He had reached the rank of a colonel more than a decade ago. He

could have sat in the command room and directed the battles since

then. However, he could never resist leading the troops into battle

personally.

Every time he went to war, he would prepare himself mentally to

sacrifice himself for the country. Several times, he had narrowly

escaped death on the battlefield where things changed in the blink of

an eye.

“Dad…”.

Nash suddenly called out.

Philix’s body shook, and tears welled up in his eyes. For over 20 years, he had been living in guilt and

regret.

He regretted not giving Ruby a grand wedding. He regretted not

knowing sooner that she was pregnant with his child. Most of all

regretted that the child perished in a fire shortly after birth.

Countless nights, he dreamed of Ruby waiting for him at the gate o

Young Family Village with their child in her arms, welcoming his

triumphant return. However, it was all just a dream.

Now, half his dream had come true. His child was alive and all grown

Philix looked up at the sky, trying his best to hold back his tears.

Nash, do you think I’m an inadequate father?”

Nash gazed at the setting sun in the west and said, “If you were someone else, perhaps I’d think so.”

Philix turned to look at Nash, his gaze questioning. “What if I were the

wealthiest person in the world?”

“Even then, you’d be inadequate. But you’re a soldier. You’ve devoted yourself to the country, you’ve

shed blood on the battlefield for over 20 years, and your military achievements are renowned. I really

can’t

find a reason to blame you for leaving us.”

Nash pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and continued to gaze at the

lingering light of the setting sun in the west.

He was well aware of his father’s position and his lack of choice. In

the early days of Longford’s establishment, how many soldiers had

abandoned their families to quell the chaos of war? Before the great

responsibilities of the nation, sacrifices had to be made.

Moreover, if his father had not left back then, he would have taken his

mother back to Young Family Village. The outcome would still be

inevitable. Longford would have been deprived of an outstanding

military hero because of it.

“I’m glad you think that way. I hope your mother can forgive me too!”

Philix said with relief.

“You’re the Warden of the Northern Territory. She would definitely be

proud of you!” Nash responded with a smile.

“It’s getting late. Let’s head down the mountain.” Philix stood up and

took a coat from a nearby tree. He draped it over himself.

“Dad, do you know about Dream City?

“I heard your grandfather mention it before, but I don’t know much

about it. I rarely stayed in Young Family Village. After graduating from

college, I traveled with your mother. Before I had a chance to get in

touch with the family, I went to the Northern Territory.

“I know it’s a massive project of the Young family’s, rumored to have

cost 40,000 tons of silver!” Philix looked at Nash and asked, “You’ve

found some of the Young family’s trusted contacts. You should know

something, right?”

“A little,” Nash told his father what he knew, except for what his

master had told him.

“You already have four fragments of the map?” Philix’s eyes shone

with surprise.

“Technically, only three. Melody’s grandmother burned the one her

family had, but it was drawn on her body with one of the Young

family’s strange potions. I can’t see it even with my Third Eye,” Nash.

said, feeling both amused and helpless.

“Such a potion exists?” Philix furrowed his brow.

“I’ll study it slowly when I have the time. Whatever the Young family

makes, I’ll be able to forge sooner or later!” Nash said confidently.

“The map pieces should be with the Kle and Jackson families,” Philix.

said in a deep voice.

“Can you be sure?” Nash’s eyes lit up.

“I wouldn’t have said ‘should’ if I was sure,” Philix replied.

“Oh, I got too excited for nothing.” Nash sighed.
