Nathan smiled, but he did not reply to Mist Sword's question. Instead, he removed his sword from the ground and threw it toward Colin. "Let's go.”
Penny, Grace, and the bodyguards quickly chased after Nathan as he left.
Colin was at the end of the line. When he walked past Mist Sword, he whispered, "Chest up, old man. A lot has fallen under the hands of the General of the North. You aren't the first, and you won't be the last."
General of the North? The God of War?
Mist Sword widened his eyes in disbelief as he watched Nathan left.
He finally recovered his senses after the general was gone and laughed like a maniac. "It's really him! That's why I lost! There's no way I could win against him! This defeat is not even humiliating!"
Zizan and William came out of hiding after that.
Zizan was confused as to why Mist Sword was laughing when he had suffered a complete defeat. "Sir, why are you laughing? Who is Nathan?"
Mist Sword turned to look at Zizan and shook his head. "He's not someone you should mess with, and definitely not someone that I could kill. Now that I've already helped you once, our debt is settled. Please don't bother me anymore in the future."
Zizan was both shocked and furious by Mist Sword's remark.
Before Mist Sword left, he warned Zizan once again. "If you value your own life, stay as far away from him as possible."
With that, the swordsman disappeared into the night.
Zizan never expected that even Mist Sword would fail to defeat Nathan. To him, Mist Sword's words sounded more like an excuse for his defeat.
William frowned as he watched the swordsman leave. "Mr. Barton, is that the master swordsman you mentioned? Not only did he fail to kill Nathan, but he even warned you not to mess with him. What the heck was that?"
