“I’m not saying I don’t support you being with Nina,” Pharaoh began, his voice tinged with concern. “I’m just worried-“”No need to worry,” Nina interrupted, quickly stepping forward to join them. “No matter what happens, we’ll face it together.”Nash’s resolve remained unwavering, and Nina could feel the weight of his determination. She had been thinking about protecting him, but he had been thinking about protecting her.If they both cared so deeply about each other, why not stand united and plan for the future together?Nina smiled softly at Nash, then intertwined her fingers with his. Pharaoh, seeing this, sighed and said, “You’ve made your decision, so I’ll do everything in my power to support you. I won’t bring this up again.””I can’t cure the poison your father gave you, Nash,” Pharaoh admitted, “but you can use this to your advantage, to draw him out.”Pharaoh understood Dominic’s actions. As a father, he could see why Dominic would push Nash so hard. If Nash refused to follow orders and stood against him, Dominic would see no reason to keep him alive. After all, if Nash had no purpose, why continue saving him? After saying this, Pharaoh turned to leave, knowing there were many things Nash and Nina needed to discuss. He had anticipated this, and he was not wrong.After Pharaoh left, Nina wrapped her arms around Nash and said with a hoarse voice, “Nash, no matter what happens, we’ll face it together as a family. The three of us will stay strong.”Nash nodded, holding her close. “I agree. You and Orion are my top priority. I’ll take care of things with my father, following Pharaoh’s advice.”Nina stroked Nash’s face, her voice filled with concern. “I trust you, but please, be careful. Whatever you do, think of us-me and our child. Stay safe.””Of course,” Nash assured her, holding her hand tightly.However, Pharaoh did not wait for Nash to act. He contacted Dominic directly.”I saw the person you sent,” Pharaoh said, getting straight to the point. “I know Salterra is struggling, and the Yaren Tribe is willing to provide supplies and resources.”Pharaoh’s only condition was that Dominic allow Nash and Nina to be together peacefully. But Dominic was more interested in having Nash lead Salterra, believing that Nash’s leadership would elevate the nation.Despite this, Dominic was curious to see how far Nash could go before breaking.”I understand your love for your daughter, but this is not up for negotiation,” Dominic replied coldly before ending the call.Pharaoh knew then that the only way forward was for Nash to confront Dominic himself.Nash was determined to stay with Nina, and he was not about to let anything jeopardize that. He meticulously planned his next move and demanded a face-to-face meeting with Dominic.Dominic agreed, underestimating Nash’s resolve. He was so confident in his own power and authority that he did not see the trap Nash had laid. When the meeting happened, Nash and his men quickly surrounded Dominic, leaving him no escape.Although Nash did not intend to harm Dominic as Dominic might have done to him, he knew the danger Dominic posed. For now, he only intended to restrict Dominic’s freedom, making it clear who held the upper hand.As Nash had Dominic tied up, he spoke coldly, “I grew up in the York family. You’ve never been a father to me, and I owe you nothing. I won’t kill you, but as for your people…” He let the threat hang in the air, his expression steely and resolute. Dominic scoffed, unconvinced. “If you were capable of harming innocent people, you wouldn’t have spent years on peacekeeping missions. Nash, I don’t believe you have it in you.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ηᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
