She arrived ten minutes early.
Soon after, she spotted Nanson emerging from the crowd with a suitcase in tow. He wasn't alone. Nanson was
chatting and laughing with someone as they walked out together.
That person had an impressive stature, holding a walking cane with an air of elegance that made him stand out
effortlessly in the throng. He was strikingly noticeable.
Was that... Sherman?
Anthea raised an eyebrow. Since when had Nanson gotten so chummy with Sherman? Hadn't he always had a
gripe against the man? She distinctly remembered Nanson once threatening Sherman with a metal pipe. What
had changed? Was she imagining things?
"Niece!" Nanson called out, dragging his suitcase over to Anthea.
Only then did Anthea notice a white bandage on his forehead. "Uncle, are you hurt?" she asked.
Nanson chuckled. "Ah, just a little mishap in Pellonia. It's nothing serious now, thanks to Sherman! If it weren't
for him, you might not be seeing your uncle today!"
Sherman? Anthea discreetly frowned. Did she hear that right?
Nanson went on to recount the events of that night. Hearing the tale, Anthea was genuinely alarmed. No wonder
Nanson's attitude towards Sherman had shifted so tically. Given the current chaos in Pellonia, with crimes
happening almost daily, being in a foreign land without Sherman's intervention would indeed have been perilous

"Thank you, Sherman," Anthea said sincerely.
Sherman replied coolly, "Think nothing of it. Just lending a hand."
Anthea turned to Nanson, "Uncle, why didn't you tellsomething this serious happened?"
Nanson laughed it off, pulling Anthea along. "A mere scratch! No need to make a fuss! Con, let's find
somewhere to eat. Plane food is terrible, and Sherman and | are starving!"
Anthea let it go and didn't press further.
The tmade their way to the parking lot. Anthea drove while Sherman and Nanson settled in the back. Given
Nanson's injury, Anthea drove cautiously.
Soon, they arrived at an upscale vegetarian restaurant. Sherman glanced at the restaurant's name, a subtle
smile gracing his lips. The trip to Pellonia had been worthwhile after all.
Anthea led the way. As they approached the entrance, a few rambunctious kids dashed out, causing her to
stumble. Nearly falling, she was swiftly caught around the waist by Sherman, who steadied her with a gentle
pull.
Her waist was slender-more so than he had imagined. Barely a hand's breadth, and even through the thin fabric,
the warmth was palpable.
Sherman paused momentarily, then released her, offering a quiet reminder, "Watch your step."
Anthea felt slightly embarrassed. She was usually the one reminding others to be careful, not the other way
around.
Nanson cast a glance their way, a faint smile playing on his lips. Why hadn't he noticed before? His niece and
Sherman looked remarkably well-matched. They were a perfect pair!

to his office.
Knowing Sherman was returning today, Daniel had been waiting by Sherman's
office door since morning.
"Sherman, you're finally back."
Sherman held his cane, his demeanor unchanged. "What's the issue?"
Daniel handed over a file, his expression troubled. "Those old codgers have been quite restless lately!"
Sherman skimmed through the documents, a slight smirk on his lips. "They're just post-season pests, nothing to
worry about."
His voice was calm and subdued, yet it sent a shiver through Daniel. Clearly, Sherman wasn't concerned at all.
Seeing Sherman so unperturbed, Daniel sighed in relief. "Sherman, you seem in a good mood. Something good
happen recently?"
"Do | look like I'm in a good mood?" Sherman raised an eyebrow.
"Absolutely!" Daniel nodded enthusiastically.
Sherman twirled his cane thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Daniel continued, "By the way, Sherman, there's something | want to show you."
"Oh? What is it?" Sherman asked, intrigued.
Daniel took out his phone, pulling up a video. "Take a look at this, Sherman."
