Chapter 393
“Could it be that Sherman Smugh’s master is still alive?” Theo murmured to himself.
“Who’s his master?” Nash inquired curiously.
Sherman was the Skyes’ protector. Nash had met him while assisting the Skyes with some issues. The man was cold
in nature, not one for many words. He was ruthless and spoke little.
“Sherman’s master is called Carlos Lexington, the principal of Capiton Advanced Martial School. He’s a peak expert
of the Profound Reality Realm. Six years ago… he fell to the hands of the Martial Maniac, Sawyer Ford!”
After uttering these words, Theo took a deep breath.
The news of a stage nine great-grandmaster defeating a peak expert of the Profound Reality Realm had caused
quite a stir in the martial arts world.
Even with Nash’s composure, he could not help but gasp in shock.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKilling a peak expert of the Profound Reality Realm as a stage nine great-grandmaster was akin to a toddler
overpowering a muscular grown man.
“When Sawyer challenged Carlos, it took place atop the Qirin Mountain. After sustaining heavy injuries, Carlos was
pushed off a cliff into rapid waters. Despite the efforts of the business, political, and martial arts communities,
investing tens of billions and countless manpower, they never found Carlos’ body!”
Theo lit a cigar, taking a drag as he continued, “Six years have passed. If Carlos survived and regained his strength,
he’s probably advanced to the Mystique Loyalty Realm. He might be secretly protecting Sherman!”
Upon concluding, Theo’s hand holding the cigar trembled slightly.
The Skyes boasted about having four or five stage nine great-grandmasters, but they did not have a single expert
from the Profound Reality Realm.
If they could enlist Carlos, would they even need to fear the Kleins anymore?
“Who’s this Chad Mare you mentioned earlier?” Nash inquired over the phone.
Flicking off some ash, Theo shared his findings. “Chad is the son of Zeke’s older brother. He has coveted the Mares’
leadership position for a long time… However, why Chad would want Hera dead remains a mystery.”
“That’s enough information, as it is! Hera’s returning to Jonford tomorrow. Until she’s back, please keep an eye on
her.
“Also, intervene slightly in the Mares’ family affairs. At least until I arrive in Capiton, ensure the leadership position
doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.”
Nash planned to aid his mother-in-law in securing the leadership position of the Mare family.
He knew he had to visit Capiton eventually.
At the Klein family’s Manor No. 7, the Kleins’ patriarch’s seventh son, Martin Klein, was
relaxing in a private hot spring.
Jay, who was on the opposite side, was flanked by two women. He glanced at his father and asked, “Father… why
are you so intent on eliminating Hera?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMartin began, “Hera’s the granddaughter of Herman… and Herman’s a confidant of the Youngs. Your grandfather
has decreed that the Youngs must be eradicated completely.”
Jay narrowed his eyes. “Was the Lewises’ tragedy also our doing?”
Martin nodded slowly.
Dismissing the two women by his side, Jay remarked, “The two of you, wait for me in bed.”
After the two beauties left, he continued in a grave tone, “Maybe I should lead a team to Jonford again. I owe that
Nash a lesson after what he did last time!”
Martin chuckled. “Why do you think we didn’t send more men to go after the Lewises?”
Jay was silent.
Of course, he knew the answer.
His grandfather had forbidden any unauthorized trips to Jonford.
Jonford housed both Nash and the Smiling Grim Reaper.
The Smiling Grim Reaper was enough to cause them headaches. Meanwhile, that Nash kid was the disciple of
Johnathan Calcraft of Tili Mountain.
