Chapter 2094


    A myriad of expressions spanned the guests'' faces.


    They knew Scout was forcing them to take a side, making it clear that they would be the Danviers'' enemy if they chose to support Nathan.


    Meanwhile, Scout, who thought they would eagerly support him, was displeased with their hesitation. It looks like I need to put some pressure on them.


    He cast his gaze over the crowd and soon fixed his eyes on a gentleman.


    That young man was Austin Windsor, a member of the Windsor family. He was the previous President, Hansel''s nephew.


    Since Hansel and Cami lost their son in an ident, they had discussed with the Windsor family members to adopt Austin. That way, Austin could arrange their funeral in his capacity as their son when they passed away.


    When the Windsors received the banquet invitation, the elders decided not to attend it since they knew about the conflict between the Davier family and Nathan. Instead, they sent Austin to show his face at the banquet as the Windsors'' representative.


    Scout was aware that Hansel was Nathan''s mentor and that the Windsor family had a close rtionship with Nathan.


    With a cold smile, Scout spoke up, "I see all of you are still hesitating. Why don''t we pick someone out to take the lead?" Staring at Austin, he said, "Let''s start from the


    Windsor family. Austin Windsor, is your family going to support Nathan or me?"


    At that instant, Austin became the center of attention.


    Beads of sweat soon covered his forehead.


    Although both the Windsor family and the Davier family were old-money families, they didn''t develop a close rtionship.


    In contrast, Nathan was Hansel''s favorite student. To the Windsors, Nathan was like their family.


    Of course, the Windsors were more willing to support Nathan.


    Yet they couldn''t openly admit it.


    Since Hansel retired, the Windsor family had lost much of its power and influence.


    The Davier family, on the other hand, was on the crest of a wave at present with Clifford holding the position as the Cab secretary.


    Thus, the Windsor family could no longerpete with the Davier family.


    Austin knew well that if he took Nathan''s side, Scout would treat him as his enemy. Thetter might even humiliate him on the spot.


    Feeling agitated, he started sweating profusely. What should I do now?


    Scout was growing impatient. He raised his voice and prodded Austin for an answer, "Austin Windsor, answer me! Will the Windsor family support Nathan Cross or me?"


    Having no choice, Austin made an excuse, "This


    is a decision too important for me to make. Mr. Davier, I need to ask for the opinion of the elders before I can revert to you."


    Bang!


    Scout mmed his fist onto the podium, smashing it to smithereens.


    The loud noise shocked everyone.


    A momentter, Scout scoffed,


    ?.


    "You''re telling me you can''t make the decision? It is clearly stated in the invitation card that I''m inviting the representatives of the prominent families. If you can''t represent the Windsor family, then why did they send you here? Are they looking down upon me by letting you, a small fry attend my banquet?"


    Austin was agitated. "Mr. Davier, that''s not the


    Windsor family''s intention."


    Scout was determined to elicit an answer from him. "I''m asking you onest time. Will the Windsor family support Nathan or me? You must choose from either one of us."


    "Nathan is my father''s favorite


    student. To the Windsors, he is like


    our family. Mr. Davier, I''m sorry. The Windsers will definitely give our support to Nathan," was Austin''s answer.


    Hearing that, Scout let out a cold smile. “Well, well."


    "I''ve made my stance clear, and it''s time for me to leave now." With that, Austin turned to leave with his subordinates.


    Right then, a burly man and a group of men in suits blocked his way.


    The burly man was Tillman Coven, a member of the Fireknight Squad under Beacon Security.


    A wicked smile crept onto Tillman''s face as he spoke, "Have Mr. Davier allowed you to leave? Kneel!"


    With that, he ced his hand on Austin''s shoulder and exerted force, weighing him down.


    Austin felt as if the man''s hand weighed a ton. Before he even knew it, he had sumbed to the pressure and was down on his knees.


    At that instant, his face contorted in pain. His knees started to bleed the moment they thudded against the floor.


    Seeing that, the crowd discreetly drew a sharp breath. They realized the Davier family couldn''t care less about offending the Windsor family.


    If they chose to support Nathan, they would end up like Austin.


    Looking at Austin, whose face was twisted in pain, Scout sneered,

    "Nathan and I are going to me


    at twelve. You''ll kneel here and watch while I destroy Nathan Cross.


    "1


    Then, he turned to face the others. “What about you guys? Are you supporting Nathan or me?” The malice in his eyes was barely veiled.


    The guests all said they would take his side.


    Scout was pleased with the answer he received. He took a nce at his watch and realized it was already twelve. "Where is Nathan? Why is he not here yet?"


    Tillman grinned while he remarked, "Master Scout, I bet that coward was so afraid that he chickened out at thest minute."


    As soon as he said that, a resounding voice rang out. “Who said I''m afraid?"


    Everyone was shocked when they turned around to see Nathan and Penny walking toward them.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Colin, Ava, and the Elite Eight followed suit as they entered the club.


    Nathan is here!
