Felicity was extremely anxious, but Jaxon’s reasoning made sense. She asked someone from the Whitten County Inspection Office for a pair of handcuffs, restrained Lindon, and then pushed him into the car.
"Homer, hurry and take us home!"
"Got it!"
Homer jumped into the driver's seat and slammed the accelerator. The roaring engine of the luxury car vanished into the night as the vehicle became shrouded in darkness.

At the Snyders' place in Sagen, Nash was taking a shower in the bathroom when Melody suddenly burst in. Nash quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. His voice was cold as he said, "Melody, don't you know how to knock?"
"The Green Bamboo Association has surrounded the place!" Melody called out deeply.
Nash was momentarily stunned. "So soon?"
"Quick, get dressed. I'll take you away!" Melody said and exited the bathroom.
Nash hurriedly put on his clothes and followed her downstairs.
Just as they entered the living room, they saw Zachary sitting upright on the couch. He glanced at Nash with a faint smile. "Mr. Calcraft, we meet again!"
Melody tilted her head slightly and said softly, “You go upstairs first. Leave this place to me."
"You're no match for him."
"I can buy you some time. You can escape through the window at the back."
"We have no chance of escaping someone in the Mystique Loyalty Realm!"
Zachary poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table and took a sip. "Mr. Calcraft, you killed the Ten Juggernauts. Even my wife, the Grim-Faced Juggernaut, died in your hands. I can overlook that, but you can't lay a hand on Lindon!"
Nash looked puzzled. "How much did Dominic give you? Is it worth selling yourself to him like this?"
Zachary remained silent.
Nash smiled again and said, "If you work for me, I promise you a breakthrough to the Profound Oriental Realm within ten years."
Zachary's pupils contracted slightly. It took him 50 years to go from an ordinary person to the Mystique Loyalty Realm. The lifespan of one in the Mystique Loyalty Realm was already beyond that of an ordinary person.
He was now in the early stages of the Mystique Loyalty Realm and had a life expectancy of nearly 200 years. If he could get lucky and break through to the later stages of the Mystique Loyalty Realm, he could live for 500 years or more.
If he broke through to the Profound Oriental Realm, he would have a lifespan of 1,000 years. The idea of attaining this realm was enough to drive any martial artist crazy.
