Felix replied to Tristan reassuringly, “Nothing to worry about there! Lombard Group is doing great, and with us around, you can focus on taking care of yourself and Sophie.”

The three of them could lessen his load on everything else but were powerless when it came to the virus threatening Anglandur’s population.

“Thanks, Felix. Keep an eye on Ysabelle, by the way. Do not allow her to come here. The situation here isn’t looking too bright,” cautioned Tristan.

“Yes. I know. She’s making a fuss about coming here, but I’ve stopped her each time.”

In fact, not causing more trouble was already the best way of helping Sophie and Tristan.

Meanwhile, much like Tristan, Nicholas was still nursing his wounds. Richard had immediately ordered someone to buy some medicated patches for Nicholas once he got home.

Still, Nicholas stubbornly refused to use them. He mumbled, “It’s fine. I’m hardly going to die from these bruises.”

The fight with Tristan had been exhilarating, but Nicholas was somewhat irked that he seemed to be in a poorer state than his opponent.

Richard replied hesitantly, “Boss, if you go out like this…” He had no idea how to cushion the blow.

Nicholas is the head of the Sable family! He will be the town’s laughingstock if he heads out like this.

Nicholas silenced his sputtering subordinate with a glare.

Undeterred, Richard said, “Boss, if you meet Ms. Tanner like this, I’m afraid she will merely despise you more!”

At last, the mention of Sophie’s potential distaste captured Nicholas’ attention.

Richard jumped on the opportunity to add, “Young women these days are all about looks. If those wounds leave a scar, that can’t be good…”

“Fine! Come here and help me with the medicated patches!”
