The two of them arrived in the Southern Territory around noon. As soon as they reached the train station, Clint and his team sent a luxury car to pick them up. After getting into the car, they realized Clint himself was driving.


    "What''s this, Mr. Melton? Where''s your driver?" Nash asked.


    Clint replied, "I understood what you meantst night, so I decided to keep things low-key."


    "Haha, Mr. Melton, you truly get me," Nash replied with augh.


    In their conversation the previous night, Nash had mentioned to Clint that his


    other purpose foring to the Southern Territory was to spend time with Sienna.


    He did not want Clint to make a big deal out of his arrival.


    After checking on Ronan, Nash nned to explore the area with Sienna, preferring to avoid drawing too much attention.


    If Clint made too big a fuss, they would not have the privacy they wanted, defeating the purpose of their visit. So, Clint opted to personally drive them.


    Sienna was aware that Nash had important business to attend to, so she understood and decided to stay in the car for the time being.


    Once Clint parked the car at the Melton family''s estate, he and Nash entered the building while Sienna remained in the vehicle as previously nned.


    Inside, the two men quickly made their way to Ronan''s room. They opened the door to find Rn inside, looking at Nash with eyes full of hope.


    "Nash, you''re here," Rn said.


    Nash nodded and immediately moved to Ronan''s bedside. He checked Ronan''s pulse and then pressed gently on his hand.


    "Rn, step outside for a bit. Clint and I are going to start the procedure soon. Keep an eye on the door, and make sure no onees in."


    Rn nodded obediently and got up, heading out to stand guard.


    "I understand. I''m counting on you both to take care of my brother."


    "Don''t worry," Clint reassured him.


    Rn closed the door behind him.


    Nash found himself at a loss for words and instinctively nced at Clint. Clint patted Nash on the shoulder, saying confidently, "If there''s something on your mind, just say it. You had Rn leave so that you could tell me about Ronan''s condition, right?"


    Nash nodded, then took a deep breath and said, "I heard your sister woke up a couple of days ago?"


    Clint confirmed, "Yes, that''s right."


    Nash continued, "So, what exactly caused her to fall unconscious?"


    Clint thought for a moment and then exined the events surrounding the great tree crisis.


    "So, it was thebined effects of Delly''s attack and the lotus mark that led to my sister''sa."


    "And what happened afterward?" Nash was closing in on the crucial point. "How did your sister wake up?"


    Clint began to understand what Nash was getting at. "It was... the surgery Ronan performed..."


    Nash snapped his fingers.


    "Exactly. That''s the key."


    Nash then drew a wisp of true energy from Ronan''s fingertip.


    "You''ve seen this before, haven''t you? In the forbidden zone."


    The answer was bing clear. With a mix of resignation and cold certainty, Nash continued to speak.
