Chapter 1736
Nathan asked with a frown, "Faustus? Who the hell is he?”
Colin replied, “He''s the subordinate of the Goldstein family from Brimmopolis.”
"The Goldstein family? Why are theying after my wife when I have never offended them?
Colin crated, “Do you still remember Clifford''s previous spouse, Gillian? She''s the heiress of the Goldstein family. The duo has a son, Ceaser. Ever
since they filed for divorce, they became closer than ever. Since Clifford has the chance to be the president, the Goldstein family will definitely
support him with everything they have.”
He paused and raised his concerns, stating in a hushed voice, “I believe they are the one behind the assassination of Mrs. Cross and the reason you
have been dispatched back to the North.
Nathan''s expression darkened when he heard Colin''s words.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Colin decided to tell Nathan the thing he had on his mind. “Instead of Mrs. Cross, I believe you''re the one they''re
coming after. Perhaps they want to throw you off bnce by putting Mrs. Cross''s life at stake. Once youmit any mistake, they''ll grab the
opportunity and take you out immediately.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
Nathan dead-panned, “They''re such a vicious bunch!”
Colin surveyed the surroundings and noticed they were quite a distance away from others.
Since others couldn''t hear their conversation, he suggested, “General, perhaps it''s merely a baseless usation when the Cab said Xyperia
would ambush the North soon. I''m certain those from Xyperia don''t have the gut to wage war against the North, but those from the Goldstein family
maye after Mrs. Cross again since they couldn''t get her during theirst attempt. In my humble opinion, you shouldn''t return to the North
because Mrs. Cross needs you by her side.”
Nathan shock his head and rebuked, “No! Xyperia is intimidated by the North because they''re not aware of my absence. What if they figure out I''m
not there and decide to try their luck? I can''t allow them tounch an ambush on the North! Apart from that, the Cab has instructed me to return to
the North. If I don''t adhere to the instruction, they''ll make a fuss out of it and get rid of me.”
If that''s the case, I guess we''ll have to send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Cross and ensure her safety when we''re not around. However, I''m
afraid the candidates avable are no match for the hitmen from the Goldstein family! What should we do if anything happens to Mrs. Cross?
Nathan went dead silent at that score because he was aware of the reason he was dispatched back to the North—the Goldstein family wanted to
threaten him with his wife.
He was in a tight spot because there wasn''t a win-win solution
When he thought he had run out of options, he thought of something and shared the great news with Colin.
“ just came out with a perfect solution that will allow me to deceive Xyperia and Clifford as well as the member of his party into believing I''m
back in the North while keeping my family safe!
Colin was confused. He asked, “General, you can''t possibly clone yourself, can you? How are you supposed to be at the North and Channing at the
same time?
Nathan whispered into Colin''s ears with a smirk.
His subordinate’ s jaw dropped open
when he heard the n. Colin =~
eximed, ° ‘It''s such a brilliant n!
You get to keep those from Xyperia
at the bay and protect Mrs. Cross at
the-same time!”

A few hourster, the ne touched down at Channing International Airport.
Benson, Leah, and Queenie had reached the airport beforehand in anticipation of Nathan''s arrival. They had Ava by their side to keep them safe.
Nathan didn''t make his way back home with Penny. Instead, he boarded another flight to the North and departed after he bade farewell with his loved
ones at the airport.
Meanwhile, Léaser, who was in
Brimmopolis; was shocked by the
news of Willow and his party''s
failure. He reprimanded Faustus,-
"What sort of fool haveyou
dispatched? Can''t they even carry
outsuch a simple instruction on?’

Faustus replied with an awkward
smile, “I didn''t-expect Nathan would
change hig mind abruptly when we
were halfway through. He decided''to
send Penny back to Channing before
heading over to the North. Nathan Ss
presence had ruined Willowsand his
en''s effort.”
He paused for a few seconds before stating, "Don’t worry, Mr. Goldstein. Since Nathan has departed to the North, we can deal with Penny however
we desire since no one is around to
protect him!”
Ceaser scoffed, “I''l deal with her myself this time! I want you to gather a team of elites and join me for a trip to Channing! We''ll definitely get Penny!”
“Yes!”
