Chapter 652
Theo casually sipped his drink, already seeing through the farce happening in this room. When Grant
saw The Swordsman, he was
frightened that he dropped his wine glass. This pointed to some
unresolved resentment between the two.
He must be worried that The Swordsman might disrupt the birthday
banquet, which would explain his constant apprehension toward the
man.
However, Grant’s old classmate, Dylan, had arrived. Since he was
affiliated with the National Martial Bureau, The Swordsman might
find it difficult to act against him.
Theo pondered whether to escalate the friction between the National
Martial Bureau and Black Wind Mountains.
Sherman had followed Theo for many years and was able to see
through his thoughts easily. “If it comes to a fight, I can only protect.
you alone with my strength,” he whispered. Theo glanced at Hera’s
family at the table and abandoned his initial consideration.
Duncan, on the other hand, was fiddling with the delicate wine glass in his hand. His gaze was fixed on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHera as a sly smile appeared on his lips. He was aware of Nash’s capture and the incident at Purple
Church.
The leader of the Green Bamboo Association was indeed a
formidable man. Not only had he taken Lindon away with him, but he had also managed to send Nash
to the National Martial Bureau.
It seemed that Nash would not be getting out anytime soon, making this the opportune moment for him
to deal with Hera.
Melody slowly turned her head to look at Duncan, a cold glint f
in her eyes. Duncan smiled and withdrew his gaze. With his two
Mystique Loyalty Realm godfathers present, Melody was no longer that much of an intimidating
presence to him.
It would not be wise to make a move now since there was someone
from the National Martial Bureau at the Zell family’s birthday
banquet. The guests at the four tables dined in an orderly manner.
While things seemed peaceful on the surface, there was an underlying sense of danger in the air.
Hera’s table remained silent. Lauren and Harrison were also eating
cautiously. Hera was seated between Skadi and Melody. Skadi picked
up a piece of sturgeon and said, “Hera, eat more. Look at how
haggard you’ve become.”
Hera had informed her about Nash’s situation last night. Skadi
initially planned to accompany Hera early in the morning, but Biancal
had arranged a boxing match. She had no choice but to get that out
of the way first.
Theo poured himself a drink, smiling as he said, “Mr. Harrison, let us
drink!”
Harrison quickly picked up his wine glass and nervously responded, ”
Sure… Okay…” He was so nervous that he did not know what else to
say.
Theo chuckled. “There’s no need to be nervous, Mr. Harrison. Nash
and I are like brothers. Now that he’s your son-in-law, you cant
consider me as your son too!”
Harrison almost fell off his chair at that. How could he treat this
young man from the Skye family as if he were his son considering hist
status?
Theo smiled helplessly. “Allow me to make the first toast!”
With that, he emptied his glass in one gulp. Harrison quickly followed
suit, finishing his own drink.
The atmosphere at the table eased a bit, and people started chatting
and laughing.
Fred could not help but find the man sitting next to Duncan familiar.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe whispered to Sydney, who had just taken a seat beside him, “Go to your grandfather’s study and
check the left drawer for The
Swordsman’s photo.”
He recalled his father possessing a photo of The Swordsman in the
drawer of his study. The photo was quite blurry, so the image of The
Swordsman was not very clear in his memory.
Curious, Sydney followed her father’s gaze and looked toward The
Swordsman. She had no impression of The Swordsman, but she
could already guess something was up from her father’s expression.
Upon entering her grandfather’s study, she opened the left drawer and
found the photo mentioned. Despite its blurriness, she could still
recognize the facial features and beard.
She then realized that the person sitting next to Duncan outside was identical to the one in the photo.
Sydney instantly paled, and she returned to her father’s side at
moment later.
Fred could tell from her face that the person beside Duncan
indeed The Swordsman. He now understood why his father’s
had trembled when he picked up his wine glass earlier. A murdero intent flashed through Fred’s eyes,
but he quickly suppressed it.
The Swordsman was a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert. He was just
an ordinary person. How was he to avenge his mother?
