Chapter 60 Dealing With Nathan Cross
At that moment, a man in a ck leather jacket walked toward the four men.
His face was anxious as he whispered, "Boss, there''s some news from the police."
Not noticing the look on his underling''s face, Harry asked smugly, "What is it? Are Cross and his wife
conceding defeat and paying us the thirty million?"
His underling lowered his head further as he muttered, "No, they were released. Carl and the other
boys have been arrested and are going to be punished heavily for their crimes.”

Dumbfounded, Harry shouted, "What? Call Harold! Get me an exnation, now! Is he f****** with me?"
His underling replied bitterly, "Harold Lee has been demoted and exiled to Buffalo Hill; he can''t exactly
help anyone right now. Plus, Cross had them deliver a message for you, Boss."
Not expecting things to take a turn for the worse so quickly, he snarled, "What did he
say?"
Steeling himself, the underling answered, "He said that you had to reimburse them thirty million or he''ll
destroy us."
Harry roared, "Insolent b******l" This sudden news was ruining all his wellid ns!
Joseph and the Smiths were also taken aback.
Joseph frowned as he said unhappily, "Leigh, what''s the meaning of this?"
Frustrated, Harry had the underling bring him his phone. He wanted to call Harold and ask just what the
hell had happened.
The call was picked up immediately.
Just then, Harold was packing up his belongings dejectedly as he prepared to leave for his new post.
When he saw who was calling, hate erupted in him.
If only he had not tried to help Harry against Cross, he would not have offended Cross, being exiled by
his superior to the middle of nowhere.
Despite the rage burning in him, his voice was calm as he answered, "Mr. Leigh, what do you need?"
"Lee, what the hell is going on? Cross was released and my men were arrested. I even heard
something about you being transferred to another post! Just who is this Nathan Cross?"
To be honest, even Harold himself did not know who Cross was. He did know that whoever he was, he
was not someone to be trifled with. That man had connections and power beyond his imagination;
there was no other reason why his superiors would be so spooked otherwise.
However, with the vindictive hatred churning in him, he had no intention of telling Harry about that fact.
He merely replied vaguely, "What I did was against the standard procedure. My superiors managed to
get ahold of some evidence, so I was demoted."
Here, Harry had thought that Cross was from some powerful or special background. It turned out the
problem was Harold Lee himself. If he had not left evidence of his illegal actions, things would not have
turned out like this.
His nerves settled. As long as Cross was a normal person, there were still plenty of ways for him to
deal with him. When n A failed, move on to n B, so on and so forth.
He continued chatting with Harold for a while longer, offering fake titudes about how he would help if
he could if the other man needed anything in the future.
Despite knowing that Harry was just pretending to care, Harold did not say anything to expose him.
Scoffing mentally, he thought,B****** if it weren''t for me helping you, I wouldn''t be in this mess. You''re
not even going to reimburse me a little? Don''t be so smug just yet, you piece of shit. I''ll be waiting to
see how Mr. Cross ruins you.
Finally, Harry hung up. The other three men in the hot spring were staring at him with questioning looks
on their faces.
He sighed. "Cross got lucky. What Harold did was against protocol and his superiors got ahold of
evidence of that. They demoted him, which was why Cross and his wife were released."
At the exnation, the three men nced at each other.
Joseph snapped angrily, "Leigh, your n was an epic failure!"
Harry hurriedly reassured, "Mr. Myers, please don''t worry. I''ll gather my men and personally lead them
to the construction site tomorrow. I''ll deal with Cross myself!"
Joseph narrowed his eyes as he growled, "Fine. I''ll be waiting for your good news."
