“Give a rundown on what you have on the Green Bamboo Association with me!”

Nash leaned back lazily into his seat and placed the hand holding his cigarette next to the window, his gestures casual and relaxed.

“The Green Bamboo Association was established in the early fifties, and they were first active around

Grestin!

“Grestin was still an unclaimed territory back then, and it was constantly in chaos because different leaders were always fighting for power!

“The Green Bamboo Association was established by Dominic Carter, whose ancestors were part of the Green Forest Uprising. His family amassed quite a fortune, and he recruited dozens of outlaws to assist him in his fight for the land. It only took him twenty years before he unified Grestin and formed the country’s largest deep state!

“After the handover in the late eighties, Grestin underwent massive restructuring and the Green Bamboo Association collapsed from the intense pressure the soldiers put on them. Members fled to Sagen, and they became much less unbridled after having learned their lesson. They still managed to unify all the underground forces in Sagen in just ten years, though!

“As society slowly became more civilized, the Green Bamboo Association began taking on a new form. On the surface, they seem to be running legitimate businesses when they’re actually engaging in illegal activity!

“There are ten juggernauts, six of whom you are acquainted with. The remaining four are Shadowblade, Gingerhead, Velvet-Thunder, and Hoodlum!”

Xeno provided a comprehensive summary of the Green Bamboo Association.

He felt equal parts excited and worried.

Excited, because finally, someone was going to deal with the Green Bamboo Association.

Worried, because he was afraid Nash was not capable of doing so.

“Also… the deputy president of the Green Bamboo Association is named Zachary Holt…”

A fearful look appeared in Xeno’s eyes as he spoke.

Nash sensed something was off and turned to ask, “Is he really powerful?”

“He is the Grim-Faced Juggernaut’s husband, and rumor is Dominic spent a fortune to get him on their side because he’s a martial arts expert… As for his actual skills… I think he’s achieved peak Profound Reality Realm!”

“Peak Profound Reality Realm?”

Nash’s eyebrows furrowed themselves together.

He had only achieved the later stages of the Profound Reality Realm. There was no way he could hold himself against someone who had achieved peak Profound Reality Realm.

Unless he used his magic.

“Yes, yes, he has achieved peak Profound Reality Realm. He’s also recently holed himself away because he’s working on achieving the Mystique Loyalty Realm!”

“Is that so!”

Nash took another puff of his cigarette before giving it a flick. The ashes soared through the air and landed in the ashtray above the trash can.

Though magic was more powerful than martial arts, there was still a limit to how powerful it was.

The Five Thunder Curse was a threat to a Profound Reality Realm master, but it would not harm someone who had achieved the Mystique Loyalty Realm.

An analogy would be to imagine the Five Thunder Curse as a rock.

The Profound Reality Realm was ordinary glass while the Mystique Loyalty Realm was tempered glass.

The rock could shatter ordinary glass, but not tempered glass. In fact, it might end up being chipped if it collided with tempered glass.

Just then…

Three McLarens and one Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up to the Zabel mansion.

When Xeno saw the license plates, he said, “These cars belong to the Lane family… Howard’s only son, Frank Lane, has just returned to the country!”

“You’re very well-informed!”

Nash smiled before he got out of the car.

Xeno clambered out and added, “Mr. Skye supplied me with 20 excellent investigators. They’re great at gathering intel!”

Zakariah and Brian were exchanging pleasantries in the front yard. Zakariah was relieved to hear three of the Green Bamboo Association’s juggernauts were dead.

He turned and looked toward the entrance when he heard the commotion.

Two guards dressed in martial arts uniforms were holding back a group of unfriendly-looking men.

Frank’s eyes had red-colored rings around them, and he had a small white flower pinned to his lapel.

Behind him was Simon and the Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut.

Gloomy expressions appeared on their faces.

Zakariah strode over to them, his eyes narrowing as he asked, “What are you doing here?”

His granddaughter had been injured because of the Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut’s gatecrashing.

He resented the Green Bamboo Association.

“We heard the Smiling Grim Reaper was at President Zabel’s home and have come to pay him a visit!”

The Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut stared at Zakariah, their face devoid of any expression.

The Grim-Faced Juggernaut had declared their suspicions of the Smiling Grim Reaper while their

spies claimed the Smiling Grim Reaper had never left the Zabel house.

Hence, he decided to challenge the Smiling Grim Reaper at the Zabel house.
