Santiago bowed and said, “Greetings, Master Jaxon!”
Jaxon brought his palms together and bowed slightly, “Greetings, Mr. Snyder Senior!”
Felicity pursed her lips. “No need for such formalities, Grandpa. Master Jaxon is very easygoing. Besides, he’s younger than you are!”
Santiago glared at Felicity. “Don’t be impudent!”
Felicity had already recounted everything that happened at Sigur Cliff over the phone a couple of days ago.
He knew that both Jaxon and Nash were Mystique Loyalty Realm experts.
People like them were extremely powerful and capable. It was in the family’s best interests to be on good terms with them.
Felicity smiled ruefully before she introduced Melody to everyone, “This is Melody Stone, a friend of Nash!”
Santiago finally looked at Melody. The more he looked at her, the more she seemed familiar to him. He asked in surprise, “Are you from Xanthalos?”
“Good day, Mr. Snyder Senior. Yes, I'm indeed from Xanthalos!”
“Michael Stone…”
“He's my father… My family once worked with Stone Corporation!” Melody answered in a gentle voice.
“No wonder you look so alike. Your father was a prodigal businessman. What a pity… He was taken so early…”
Santiago shook his head and sighed.
A sad look briefly appeared in Melody’s eyes. “That’s all in the past…”
Santiago beckoned to them. “Let’s sit down and chat!”
Everyone sat down on the couch.
Nash gave Melody a sideways glance.
He abruptly began beating himself up slightly.
Melody had done so much for him, but he had never bothered learning more about her family’s history.
Nash sat back on the couch and chuckled. “Guess I shouldn’t be smoking!”
Confused, Melody asked, “I remember you were never much of a smoker. What’s gotten into you recently?”
Before Nash could answer, Santiago chuckled and said, “It’s only normal that youngsters feel pressure. Smoking can help alleviate that pressure!”
Felicity crossed her arms over her chest and said in a displeased tone, “Smoking is bad for your health!”
Santiago smiled but did not say anything.
Nash returned to the previous topic. “I understand that Dominic is backed by politicians. However, since I’ve chosen to come to Sagen, it means I have a way to deal with him!”
Santiago was still worried. “What if he’s too powerful?”
He made an educated guess that the person assisting Dominic should be working in Capiton. They probably held quite a high position too.
Nash said nonchalantly, “If I make an appearance that’s enough of a surprise, it doesn’t matter how powerful they are!”
