Chapter 1755


    Night fell and the city lit up.


    At Sally''s Seafood, Penny was having dinner with Kylie, Queenie, Benson and LeahC0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Since Nathan and Ava were bodyguards, it wouldn''t be appropriate for them to eat with their employers. Hence, both of them sat at a separate table


    to eat while guarding Penny and her family at the same time.


    Ava''s eyes were fixated on Nathan throughout their meal


    Sensing the weight of her gaze, Nathan looked up and asked, "ls something wrong, Ma''am? Why are you staring at me like that?"


    Ava grinned mischievously. “Are you sure it''s appropriate for you to address me so


    respectfully? Shouldn''t it be the other way around,” she paused before emphasizing, “Sir?”


    Nathan froze slightly and looked at Ava in bewilderment.


    Ava chuckled and said, “You don''t seem to get what I mean. Then, allow me to rephrase.”


    She leaned forward before continuing, “Should I be calling you Bay, or Nathan?”


    Nathan''s brows furrowed slightly and lowered his voice. “When did you find out?”


    Ava had a smug look on her face when she replied, “The Grumbling Earth and Military Punch are the General''s signature moves. Not to mention, he


    has the monopoly over these two techniques.


    "And since you executed both the Grumbling


    Earth and Military Punch, who else could you be if not the General?”


    Nathan was left speechless by her.


    Indeed, the truth would alwayse out in the end. Ava had seen through his facade so easily.


    Nathan simply replied, "Just keep this to yourself.”


    Ava''s eyes darted around before she asked in a low voice, "General, are you going to keep this from Mrs. Cross too?”


    Nathan answered calmly, “Davier


    used the Cab''s influence to


    dispatch me back to the North and~


    gave melbrders not to leave ov


    unauthprized. Then, he ordered the


    Go dsteins toe after my family.


    Obwiously, his motive was to''take


    revenge on me.” Contentbelongs to


    “Davier and the Goldsteins are too powerful. I''m notfortable leaving my family under the protection of just the few of you


    Ava was slightly displeased by what he said. “General, are you underestimating us? I''m not just one of the King of Warriors in the North Army, I have


    also been crowned the Queen of Killers in the assassin world...”


    Just then, Nathan cut her off, "I know that you''re skilled, but you must know that if there''s a will, there''s a way. If someone truly wanted to hurt my


    family, they''d stop at nothing to do it.


    “Let me get this straight. You were worried, but knew that couldn''t openly protect your family, so you disguised yourself as a bodyguard named Bay


    and came back here?” Ava whispered.


    Nathan smileclopsidedly. “By


    disguising myself as Bay the


    bodyguard, I can practically hide in


    in sight and protect my family


    the same time. Most importantly, I


    can-+hake sure Davier doesn’t gain


    the pper hand.”

    He paused and.owered his voice to


    continue, There’ s one other reason.


    I figured that if I appeared here as >


    Bay, Xyperia would think that I was


    still guarding the North, so they


    woLtdn''t dare to make a move


    aganst us.”

    “Then, why don''t you just reveal yourself to Mrs. Cross?” Ava asked, her curiosity piqued.


    Nathan exined, "If I reveal the truth, I have no doubt that all of you will treat me differently, so I''d need everyone coordinate with me to keep up the


    act.


    “Let''s not talk about how mentally exhausting that would be, but if one of you were to slip up. it could possibly alert Davier and the Goldsteins to my


    identity, and I''d be court-martialed as a


    deserter.


    "So, if all of you don''t know my identity and treat me as a simple bodyguard, no one would suspect a thing.


    Realization dawned on Ava and she eximed, "So that''s why!”


    As though she suddenly recalled something. she spoke in a hushed tone, “General, there''s something I need to report to you.”


    "Go ahead,” Nathan replied.


    Ava continued in a low voice, “After you taught Ceaser Goldstein a lesson yesterday, he didn''t repent, nor did he return to Brimmopolis


    "He contacted arge group of his friends and allies who gathered a total of two thousand men to assist him.


    "Also, he sent someone to pass on his message, asking Mrs. Cross to bring you and Ms. Tonkins to meet him at the Celestial Club tonight.


    “He said that if the three of you don''t show up. he''ll go on a killing spree.”
