Natalia choked on her wine upon hearing Whitebeard’s words.

She had been texting on her phone sending photos of the venue to her friends while boasting about how she got invited to such a grand

ceremony. For that reason, she did not hear what Nash had said.

previously.

She burst into laughter after hearing about Nash’s plan.

“Nash, to tell you the truth, I’ve been fangirling over you since the last time we met. I thought you were so cool!

“But sadly, not anymore!”

Natalia sipped her wine in disappointment.

Unwilling to explain further, Nash began eating the snacks that were

served instead.

Meanwhile, Harold escorted the Murphys to their seats. They were

seated at Table 2.

For a while, a heavy silence fell upon the room. However, the silence

was soon replaced by a burst of whispers centered around the Murphys seated at Table 2.

People who knew about the Murphys started talking about their background, and Nash also perked up his ears to listen.

Soon, Nash got hold of a piece of important information-the

Murphys had received their martial arts training at Sakaris Mountain. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sakaris Mountain was the holy land where immortal cultivators.

frequented.

Nash recalled his master being invited to Sakaris Mountain more than

once, but he never brought Nash along.

His master had told him that the people there acted like wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Meanwhile, Yvaine’s assistant-the lady with the short hair-was done.

with Nash’s background check.

She handed Yvaine the table after compiling the information into a PDF document.

Yvaine browsed through the document immediately, a perplexed expression creasing her brow.

He had two women? She should have known. What a jerk!

Yvaine decided then and there that she would not let Nash get away with this. The idea of polygamy disgusted her so much that she was willing to take extreme measures against him.

‘I’m doing it for the sake of all women,’ she thought to herself.

Putting down the tablet, Yvaine glanced coldly at Nash.

Nash felt a chill down his spine as he turned over, surprised to see Yvaine glaring at him from the other table.

Meeting his gaze, Yvaine turned away and sipped her wine.

Nash shrugged and thought to himself, “Another weirdo.”

Meanwhile, the Freeman siblings were still busy attending to other

guests.

Feeling bored, Nash took out his phone and realized he had over a

hundred unread messages on WhatsApp.

He tapped on the screen and found out they were all messages from

his family and friends.

He had received messages from Hera, Melody, Lauren, Harrison,

Sydney, Queenie, Walter, Grant… Basically, everyone who lived in

Jonford.

Feeling it was too much of a hassle to reply one by one, Nash invited

all of them into a new chat group and changed the group name to

Jonford’.

He then tagged everybody in the group: [I’m fine, guys. Don’t worry! I’ll

update y’all later!]

Chat messages flooded the group instantly. Everyone was conced

about his safety.

A warm, fuzzy feeling rose in Nash’s heart as he glanced through messages. He felt loved.

He began texting on his phone for a while.

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent once more.

Harold was escorting a nun dressed in yellow robes.

Four other white-haired priests trailed behind her, wearing the same

robes but in purple.

Taking a better look, Nash realized the woman was none other than

Yulia Grace.

She did not heed his advice, after all.

When their eyes met, the tension in the room became palpable, as if

something had shifted in the air.

Noticing them looking at each other, Harold’s lips curled into a smile

as he said, “This way, Ms. Grace. Your seat is at Table 1.”

Yulia looked away and followed Harold to her seat.

Isadora asked curiously, “Dad, why do they get to sit at Table 1?”

Isaac explained patiently, “That’s because they’re sect people, Dora. If

these people were to attend a ceremony, they’d be seated at the first

few tables due to their high social ranking.

“Furthermore, that woman holds significant influence even among

the sects, so it’s not surprising Harold treats her with such respect.

Business families like us are merely ants beneath a boot in the face

of people like them!”

The atmosphere became even more lively upon the arrival of Yulia

and her men.

Unsurprisingly, a few martial arts families had already flocked toward her, flattering her and offering her toasts.

It was 11:30 am, half an hour till noon.

The tables were almost fully seated. Without further ado, Nash started scanning the crowd in an attempt to figure out their cultivation level.
