Nameless Nie coerced Spray of Flowers into joining his mercenary team with Taoist Devotee, settling on a name amid debates ranging from Lots of Money to Ling Miao's suggestion of God Killing Mercenary Team. After gaining intelligence on Zhao Yechao's planned ambush with experts and firearms, he dispatched the recruits to prepare while reassuring a doubtful Ling Miao in the woods. Playful antics led to them holding hands as he promised his protection.

A few days later, deep in a forest:

With Taoist Devotee and Spray of Flowers serving as spies, Zhao Yechao’s schemes crumbled completely in just three days, culminating in his death from a single punch by Nameless Nie.

“God Killing Mercenaries” was formally founded.

Every two years, Nameless Nie took a two-month journey to the Independent State. Upon returning after those two months, he’d head back to that small town, tolerating Auntie Ling’s endless complaints and the sporadic whack.

Years afterward, as Nameless Nie gazed at the town so deeply familiar, a profound gentleness welled up in his gaze.

The Ferris wheel had been removed, and the mansion now seemed far more worn. Still, in his mind, those two figures stayed mostly the same.

“Old Ling, open up!”

Nameless Nie bellowed.

Auntie Ling flung the door wide open right away.

“Eh, my dear little ancestor, when did you return?”

Auntie Ling remained as stunning as on the first day they met. Time seemed to have spared her face entirely.

“Just got back. Wanted to surprise you guys.” Nameless Nie marched into the living room, travel bag slung over his shoulder.

“Well done, you rascal. Two whole years before showing up, and no call either!” Auntie Ling hurriedly fetched some fresh fruits.

“Old Ling, what tasty stuff are you grilling?” Nameless Nie inhaled deeply.

“Perfect timing on your return. Ling Miao’s boyfriend dropped by today too, hauling plenty of wild game,” Auntie Ling replied with delight.

Nameless Nie’s smile stiffened at once and vanished.

“Boyfriend… really? When did this start?” Nameless Nie murmured distractedly.

“They went on a blind date a few days back,” Auntie Ling explained.

“Blind date?” Nameless Nie’s brows knitted together. “Old Ling, that’s way too hasty! They barely know one another. Do you even know his identity, his personality, his family origins? If you’re set on matching her, pick someone with a clear history that we all recognize, no?”

“Quit talking rubbish. This is your aunt’s affair—no need for your input. I’ve observed that lad closely for ages. Had he not been right, I’d never have set them up.” Auntie Ling cut an apple for Nameless Nie. “Here, eat. Come dinnertime, I’ll whip up some dishes just for you.”

As Auntie Ling headed to the kitchen, Nameless Nie dropped the apple and rose swiftly, striding to the study.

The study door stood firmly closed, with bursts of a man’s chuckles leaking through now and then.

For no clear reason, a fierce, uncontrollable rage boiled up within Nameless Nie.

*Bam!*

Nameless Nie slammed the door open with a kick.

In the study, the young woman’s eyes fixed on the intruding Nameless Nie. The man, bespectacled and plump, jumped in shock at Nameless Nie’s sudden move.

“Who the heck are you?!” The man glared irritably at Nameless Nie.

Nameless Nie paid the man no heed and halted beside Ling Miao. “Who’s this guy?”

“Boyfriend,” Ling Miao said simply.

“Boyfriend? Since when?” Nameless Nie asked coldly.

“Ling Miao, who’s this…?” the man queried, frowning.

“My nephew,” Ling Miao responded.

“Nephew…” The man blinked in surprise. He hadn’t imagined this striking, athletic young man to be Ling Miao’s nephew. Plus, didn’t this nephew look about Ling Miao’s age?

“Heh… So you’re her nephew. Must be a mix-up then,” the man chuckled, patting Nameless Nie’s shoulder with what he figured was a friendly grin.

Yet oddly, the instant the man’s palm met Nameless Nie’s shoulder, his frame trembled violently, sending him stumbling back in a clumsy retreat.
