Chapter 261 261 Friends

It was a garden that seemed to invite serenity, and he found himself drawn to the enchanting sights and sounds that surrounded him.

Selina and Madeline's conversed in the cozy corner, the two women relishing the bond they shared. As the garden's serene beauty surrounded them, they swapped tales, their laughter ringing through the air like music.

A short distance away, Monica and Nora were locked in a captivating magical duel. Their spells danced in the air, creating a vibrant spectacle of colors and energy. Both women were determined to push their magical abilities to the limit, and their rivalry added an electrifying atmosphere to the scene.

Nora was the first to catch sight of Nexus as he made his entrance into the garden. Her radiant smile greeted him, and she performed a graceful curtsey, her enthusiasm evident in her bright eyes. "You were with Crystal, so I thought I'd come to practice a little," she explained, her voice filled with warmth and curiosity. "How was your outing?"

Nexus appreciated Nora's friendly demeanor as he approached her. He returned her smile and engaged in the conversation, his uneasiness subsiding. "It was all good," he replied with a casual air, though his eyes still held a trace of uncertainty. "Not much of an adventure, if you ask me." He let out a soft chuckle, the nervousness in his gaze softening as he conversed with Nora.

Nora laughed along with him, sharing a friendly moment. "Oh, come on," she said, playfully nudging his shoulder. "I'm sure you're more acquainted with the people now, seeing that you've been going out regularly."

Nexus nodded in agreement. "You're right. I'm getting to know everyone better," he admitted, still sharing a light-hearted chuckle with Nora.

Monica, on the other hand, seemed focused on her magic practice, choosing to ignore his presence entirely. Unbeknownst to her, the man she had grown to admire from afar was right before her, hidden behind the façade of Master Ni-Yang.

Madeline, who had been watching the interactions, couldn't contain her excitement. She called out to Nexus, her voice laced with enthusiasm. "Hey, Nexus, come over here!"

Madeline was brimming with joy as she greeted Nexus, and her subtle desire for him couldn't go unnoticed. Her body reacted to his presence, and her desires began to stir. Her pussy even unconsciously started to water as it felt Nexu presence. It was like a maget. Her pussy throbbing and released nectar as she longed for him.

"Nexus," she said, radiating happiness. "The Russel family crisis has been resolved for the time being."

lightsnοvεl Nexus feigned surprise, despite already knowing the outcome. "Oh, really?" he responded with an acted sense of astonishment. "That's fantastic news."

Madeline was overjoyed, her happiness evident in her voice. "Yes, we don't have to worry as much as we did," she exclaimed. "It turns out Fitch is much weaker than I thought."

Nexus maintained his charade, responding with feigned concern. "I was genuinely worried," he confessed, adding an air of authenticity to his response.

Taking the moment as an opportunity to investigate, Nexus turned his attention to Selina. "Selina, how has your health been?" he inquired, acting as if he had no prior knowledge of her condition.

Selina blushed slightly, her eyes brightening with gratitude. "There has been a master who cured my illness," she admitted, her voice filled with appreciation.

Nexus maintained his façade, understanding that he had to keep his true knowledge hidden. "That's truly wonderful news," he said, concealing his emotions.

But then, Nexus grew more serious, shifting the conversation's tone. He wanted to convey a sense of urgency and commitment. "I've come this time to solve the Russel family crisis once and for all," he declared. "My aim is to confront Fitch and eliminate him once and for all."

Madeline and Selina looked at him with a mixture of surprise and hope.

Nexus's words hung in the air, a profound silence following his shocking declaration. Monica had ceased her magical practice, and the rest of the group looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and astonishment. The transformation from a healer to a mage on a mission was a stark contrast, and it left them perplexed. The others had a hard time believing that the person who said those words could be Nexus, as he had acted like a doctor rather than a mage or warrior throughout.

Nora was the first to voice her surprise. "Nexus, is that really you?" she asked, her tone a mixture of curiosity and concern.

Nexus met her gaze with a firm nod. "Yes, it's me," he affirmed, his voice unwavering. "I'm a mage with a mission."n..o--v./e-/L(.B-/I-(n

Monica chimed in, still trying to process the revelation. "But you never acted like a warrior or mage before," she pointed out, her expression showing her bewilderment.

Nexus nodded in agreement. "I know," he said, "I had to maintain my cover and not raise suspicions. My mission required me to stay incognito."

Madeline was utterly shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief. "I can't believe this," she murmured, almost in a daze.

Nexus quickly redirected the conversation to the reason for his presence. "I'm helping because of a suggestion from my best friend, Ni Yang," he explained, using the fabricated story to maintain his disguise. "He couldn't bear to see Madeline suffer and urged me to come to your aid."

Nexus continued, turning to Madeline. "I'm willing to help the Russel family," he said, his words genuine. "I can't bear to see you in such a difficult situation, and I want to make things right."

Madeline was beyond shocked. Nexus's offer of help, combined with his newfound intensity, left her both astonished and moved. Her heart raced as she tried to process the situation.

Selina, on the other hand, was taken aback by the revelation that Nexus was Ni Yang's best friend. She hadn't expected this connection. Moreover, the fact that Ni Yang was offering help to the Russels was a development she hadn't anticipated.

She contemplated the situation, recognizing the complexity of it all. "I hadn't expected Ni Yang to be so closely involved," she admitted, her tone reflective. "And for him to offer help is surprising, to say the least. He doesn't even know the Russel family."

Nexus understood the skepticism surrounding Ni Yang's sudden involvement. He had chosen his words carefully to create this believable backstory.

Selina continued, "Even though Ni Yang is powerful, the Howard family is a behemoth. It doesn't make sense for him to handle such a massive problem single-handedly. And the risks involved, especially to his life, are considerable."

Monica was having the hardest time coming to terms with the revelation. She couldn't believe that Nexus, who she had always seen as an ordinary healer, was best friends with Ni Yang. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she approached Nexus. "Are you saying you're friends with Ni Yang? The Ni Yang?" she asked, the incredulity in her voice evident.

"I can't believe you're claiming to be friends with Ni Yang," she said, her voice tinged with doubt. "A healer with no magical prowess like you wouldn't even be in his league."

Nexus met her gaze, nodding with a hint of amusement.
