chapter 29 Blood debts can only be paid with blood

Nash Lin held Ivy Gu in his arms without any attempt to conceal her, and walked out of the Grand Hotel with such ease, taking her all the way back to the Violetta Villa. He was just about to lay Ivy Gu down on the bed. Ivy Gu suddenly woke up and instinctively threw a punch at the figure’s face. But when she saw clearly that the figure was Nash Lin, the force of her swinging fist immediately weakened, her tense body began to relax as if she dropped all her defences in an instant, revealing her most vulnerable side. She clung to Nash Lin's neck and began to cry out loud. "Brother Nash... sob sob sob..." Tears the size of soybeans rolled down from Ivy Gu's beautiful eyes, and she quickly became a tearful mess. Listening to these sobs filled with fear and fright, Nash Lin felt as if his heart was being pressed by a huge stone, making it unbearably heavy. He gently patted her back, softly comforting her, "It's okay now, everything is okay." "Sob sob sob... Brother Nash, I was so scared..." Ivy Gu cried heartbreakingly. If she had truly been violated, she would have wanted to end her life. Hearing her sobs, Nash Lin felt his heart ache. No matter how strong and independent Ivy Gu appeared, no matter how cold she seemed on the outside, she was still a girl at heart. And often, it is only those who are internally fragile who armour themselves with such a formidable exterior. Seeing Ivy Gu reveal such a side of herself, he truly felt an extreme sense of heartache. He said in his gentlest tone, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now, they didn’t do anything to you, I've already taught them a lesson." That night, Ivy Gu fell asleep with the comfort of Nash Lin. Nash Lin also stayed up all night to watch over her. ... In the blink of an eye, the next day came. The news of Ethan Wang's death had finally been discovered by the people at the hotel. Tazz Qin had killed all those involved, including the bodyguards, leaving no one behind to spread the word, so it wasn’t until today when the managers of the Grand Hotel delivered Ethan Wang's body to his family that they learned of his demise. Now, inside the expansive Soiree Villa, an air of deathly stillness prevailed. This place was the residence of the Wang family, a premier household of Jadeborough! Everyone was now aware of Ethan Wang’s death. Looking at the unrecognizable corpse in the hall, Ethan Wang’s grandfather, Castor Wang, had a face as still as water, exuding an oppressive aura as heavy as Mount Tai. The Wang family members inside the hall all felt an oppressive atmosphere. Castor Wang, the current head of the Wang family, had been a mercenary in his youth, experienced in warfare, and although he had retired, the bold spirit of a tiger still resided in him. He was still in contact with mercenaries and assassins. Ethan Wang was his favourite grandson. Now that his grandson was dead, the old lion was on the verge of rampage. "Find out! I want a thorough investigation! I want to know who dared to lay a hand on my grandson!" Castor Wang roared angrily in the hall. The Wang family immediately dispatched people to investigate. Before long, Pollux Wang, Ethan Wang's father, a man who also wore glasses and looked scholarly, came forward. He stepped up. "Father, it was done by a man named Nash Lin. Ethan was about to take advantage of Ivy Gu at the Grand Hotel. Nash Lin arrived and beat Ethan to death. Before this, he had threatened Ethan, saying he wanted Ethan's life. This was a deliberate act of revenge against Ethan!" Upon hearing this, the Wang family members were all enraged. "What? Did he really say that?" "They threaten our Wang family and even made a move on Ethan, this is too arrogant!" "This time, we must not let Nash Lin get away with it!" At that moment, the Wang family was enraged. Patriarch Castor Wang was so furious his face was nearly black with anger. "What is Nash Lin's status?" Upon hearing this, Pollux Wang's face immediately showed extreme hatred and fury. "He has no status, is an orphan, learned some martial arts somewhere, and now he's causing trouble with these skills, he killed Ethan! Dad, we must avenge Ethan!" Hearing this, the Wang family grew even angrier. "An orphan dares to challenge our Wang family? He's seeking death!" "Indeed, who does he think he is? I'll make a call right now and have him arrested." "Right, let him spend the rest of his life in prison!" The Wang family members began to take action immediately. But patriarch Castor Wang suddenly raised his hand, and everyone fell silent, their eyes all turning to him. Castor Wang snorted coldly, his voice dark and foreboding. "Killing my grandson and just putting him in jail would be too easy on him!" As he said this, his voice suddenly rose, and an iron-blooded intent filled the air. "A blood debt must be repaid with blood! He killed my grandson, chopping him into nine pieces wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in my heart!" After speaking, he waved his hand grandly. "Bring me the communicator, I want this boy to go down and accompany my grandson in death!" At these words, everyone's heart trembled. "The communicator? The patriarch is going to contact mercenaries and assassins!" "This is serious, the last time the patriarch contacted them was ten years ago, I still remember the person who came just gave me a look, and I felt like I was on the brink of death, I even wet myself." "Of course, which one of the patriarch's acquaintances is not an elite from the battlefield? Each one of them has taken at least dozens of lives by their hands, and the most formidable one has even made it onto the South African hit list!" "The only flaw is that it takes them three days to get here, otherwise, Nash Lin wouldn't survive past tomorrow!" While the Wang family members were discussing, patriarch Castor Wang began contacting people. A tremendous killing intent started to approach in the shadows. And Nash Lin was unaware of it. He spent the whole day at home accompanying Ivy Gu. After last night's events, Ivy was somewhat traumatized and did not go to work. Nash Lin took care of her all day. Fortunately, Ivy recovered quickly, and with Nash's careful guidance throughout the day, she had almost forgotten about the incident. During this time, Chance Qian also called Nash to inform him of the location of the welcome banquet. To this, Nash only requested to keep it simple and didn't even want to show up. And in the evening, Karmen Feng also made a phone call. He was worried Nash might have forgotten about the auction and specifically called to remind him. "Brother Nash, I've already registered your name for the auction tomorrow, you can come over." Nash Lin nodded indifferently. "Yeah, I know, I'll be there." Hearing this, Karmen Feng was relieved and then tentatively asked, "Brother Nash, are you sure you don't need me to pick you up?" "No need, goodbye!" Without saying much to Karmen Feng, Nash Lin hung up the phone. On the other hand, Reese Dong was on her phone, inquiring with Gwen Su. "Gwen, are you going to the auction at Ethereal Villa tomorrow?"
