Chapter 2043
Nathan removed his Leviathan mask, changed into a casual outfit, and left the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor after he finished his work. Colin had been waiting in a ck sedan for quite a while by the street.
Nathan got in the backseat of the sedan.
Colin respectfully inquired, “General, where would you like to go?"
Nathan replied indifferently, "Head to the Crystal Hotel."
"Yes, sir!" Colin obeyed his order.
Soon, Nathan arrived at the Crystal Hotel.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
Penny, Kylie, and Queenie were having dinner together.
Penny rushed to help Nathan remove his jacket when she saw him and then requested another cutlery set from the waitress.
Queenie asked curiously, "Papa, where did you go today?"
Nathan smiled. "I went to work. As I have told you before, I will be working in Brimmopolis in the future."
Queenie nodded.
Penny gently quizzed, "Hubby, you have rested for quite some time now. Is everything fine at work?"
Nathan chuckled, "Im fine!"
Since Penny didn''t inquire about his position and job description, he decided to omit those details.
They chatted as they ate dinner.
Suddenly, Nathan''s phone rang.
His brows knitted into a frown as he listened to the call.
It was from Hansel Windsor.
He exined about Horatio being tricked into selling his priceless abstract painting at only three thousand.
Nathanforted, "You can still earn the money back after losing it. Firstly, calm Mr. Horatio down. I''ll locate the swindler''s whereabouts and retrieve the painting."
Hanselughed bitterly, "Father was in so much regret and hatred that he was trapped in a web of self-condemnation. He passed out after being overwhelmed by his emotions."
"We have him admitted into the hospital. Although he''s awake, he is still emotional about the incident.
"The doctor has advised us to retrieve the painting as soon as possible to lessen his guilt and calm him down. Otherwise, his health would take a terrible turn from being so emotional at his age.”
Nathan replied, "Mr. Windsor, please be rest assured that I will retrieve the abstract painting by tomorrow morning."
"Please ask Mr. Horatio to have a good rest, for the first thing he sees tomorrow morning would be his painting." Hansel muttered, "Nathan, I can''t thank you enough.
"Since I''d retired, it had been difficult for me to ask favors from the others. It also wasn''t appropriate of me to stoop down and beg them either. So, I can only ask for your help
Nathan replied softly, "Once a teacher, always a teacher!
"Mr. Windsor, there''s no need for such formalities!"
Hansel added, “Alright, I''ll wait for your good news then."
After the call disconnected, Nathan beckoned his hand, and Colin appeared by his side. "Yes, General?"
Nathan summarized the whole
incident and ordered, "Investigate the whereabouts of the swindler who cheated Mr. Horatio''s abstract painting.
"I want his whereabouts in an hour."
Colin replied, "Yes, sir!"
In the space of an hour was only sufficient for a meal.
Colin returned with some findings after Nathan had finished his dinner.
Nathan was wiping his mouth with a towelette as he asked, "Any findings?"
Colin reported, "Yes, sir. The swindler''s name is Yardley. He usually idles around the antique markets.
"I have him in custody now."
Colin waved his hand.
Immediately, two Elite Eight entered while holding a middle-aged man with a mustache.
The diners were staring curiously at the whole scene.
"Kneel!" ordered the Elite Eight.
Yardley was forced to kneel in front of Nathan.
Yardley lifted his head to look at
put
Nathan with a look of terror but stiff a brave front. "Who are you? did you bring me here

He immediately sold it off after he had his hand on the painting.
