Basil Jaak returned to the headquarters of the Sky Blood Alliance from outside Immortal City, still pondering the words Bertha had said to him earlier.
In fact, he didn't have any particular fondness for Bertha. When he said "marry me" during their conversation, it was only because he saw Bertha was somewhat saddened by the old man's death, and he deliberately said it to lighten the mood.
