Nash nodded and smiled. "Alright, I'll be the first to inform Sir Landon." Dallas lowered his head quietly. He did not believe Nash could stop the Gods of the West from reviving. Gods were intangible legends. How could the gods' revival be easily thwarted by mere mortals? Nash was just comforting Elias and Kaden.
"I can rest assured hearing that." Elias took a sip of tea and then smiled. "Nash, Drakonia's safety rests in your hands. You must succeed. Failure is not an option!" Nash nodded earnestly in response. "I guarantee to complete the mission!" Then, Elias turned to Dallas and asked, "Dallas, didn't Ben come?" Dallas flushed. "Ben said he needs to stabilize his realm and will be in seclusion for another week." Elias nodded and then announced to everyone, "The Divine Strategy Squadron is now without a leader. Benedict Varhess, the great-grandson of Anton Varhess, has broken through to the Profound Oriental Realm.
"After deliberation with the national headquarters, it has been decided that Benedict Varhess will take up the position of the new leader of the Divine Strategy Squadron. Does anyone have any objections?" Sof the senior officials began expressing their opinions one after another.
"Benedict Varhess... he's too young, isn't he?" "Yeah, he seems to be under 25. Can he handle it?" "Mr. Cricton has been in the squadron for over 20. Shouldn't he take over now that Mr. Varhess has passed?" Dallas spoke up, "The Divine Strategy Squadron has always taken strength as the paramount. Strength determines everything in our department!" Hearing Dallas himself say this, everyone else naturally fell silent.
Kaden turned to Stellar and asked, "Stellar, how is the situation in the Northern Territory?" The subsequent part of the meeting then focused on discussions about the turbulent situation at the border. Before long, Nash's phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at the screen. He had received a message from Hera. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesHera: [Honey, do you know a Natalia Crimson?] Nash: [Yes, why?] Hera: [A man calledsaying that Natalia has been taken away by the Klein family!] Nash's eyes narrowed slightly as he read the message. The Klein family had taken Natalia? Why would they capture her? Noticing Nash's preoccupation, Kaden said, "Nash, if you have something to attend to, you can go ahead." Nash nodded. "I do have something urgent. I'll take my leave now." With that, he stood up and left the meeting room. Kaden then said, "Let's continue our discussion." Nash returned to the Empire Hotel and located Theo, immediately informing him about Natalia's capture.
Theo said gravely, "So, the Kleins, actually took notice of the Crimson household. Their target is Mr. Crimson Senior. I suspect they may have found out that he deciphered the Young family's script." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesApart from Nash, the Klein family was also working on deciphering the Young family's remnant script. They were even more eager than Nash to uncover the Young family's silver stash. Content belongs to en.kikistories"Where's Mr. Crimson Senior now? We need to protect him." "He's in seclusion in Watcher Village. I'll take you to see him now." Theo led Nash and Sherman toward Watcher Village.
On the way to the village, Nash called Lumi and instructed her to mobilize the Shadow Palace to look into Natalia's whereabouts.
