Chapter 2151
Back in Channing, Eurasia, when Franklin found out that Nathan was already back in the city, he immediately invited him over to Cloud Pce for a meal.
Franklin had chosen to meet Nathan at Cloud Pce because he knew the owner of the restaurant was Thomas, and that Thomas was close to Nathan.
Nathan epted his invitation readily. Although Franklin no longer worked directly under him anymore, Nathan was now the Chief Military Governor and he oversaw all the armies, so in a way, Franklin was still his subordinate.
Besides, Nathan was grateful to Thomas for taking meticulous care of Benson and Leah while he was away. Now that he was finally back in Channing, he wanted to meet up with Thomas.
Nathan brought Penny, Queenie, Kylie, Colin, and Ava to Cloud Pce, while Benson and Leah stayed back since they preferred eating at home.
Leah made two simple dishes for dinner and got a bottle of beer.
Just as the two were about to sit down and eat, the doorbell rang.
"Who could it be? It''s already sote!" Benson asked as he put down his cutlery.
"I''ll go get it," Leah said as she got up and headed toward the door.
She swung the door opened curiously and froze. Right in front of her was a dazzling young man dressed in a white suit. He was tall and hisplexion was fair. From his looks and aura, one could easily tell he came from a distinguished family.
Yet there was something foreboding about this man. There was a glimmer of evil in his foxy and slender eyes, making it difficult to read his thoughts.
Behind him, was a group of men-each of them exuding a repressive vibe.
Leah swallowed hard. "What do y''all want?"
Benson instantly sensed something was off and came over. "Who is it?"
Before Leah could answer him, Benson saw the group of menacing men standing at their door.
And right in front of Leah, was Wilmer Yorke.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
A subtle and yet threatening smile curved on his lips when he saw Benson. He carried himself in a gentlemanly and polite manner, yet there was an air of loftiness in his bearing.
"Who are you? And what brings you here?" Benson was rmed.
"We''re from the Camden family and we''re here to bring Ms. Camden home. We''ll be bringing Nathan with us too-dead, of course."
Despite how casual Wilmer sounded, his words zapped Benson and Leah like a lightning bolt.
Wilmer looked at the pale couple
and the smile on his face intensified. "Could you tell us where they are?" Wilmer leaned closer and spoke gently to them as if he was trying to coax two frightened children.
Speaking, he craned his neck and scanned the house.
It went without saying that he knew this was where Nathan and Penny were staying.
Knowing they were here to coerce Penny and kill Nathan, the old couple refused to let them know about their whereabouts.
"We don''t know what you''re talking about. Please leave before we call the guards over," Leah said.
"We''re calling the police if you keep bothering us," Benson added.
Wilmer''s lips parted, showing a set of white teeth as heughed. "Do you think we''re afraid of the guards? Or the police?"
A burly and imposing man instantly came forward from behind and stood beside Wilmer.
Johnny was one of Wilmer''s best fighters.
Seeing Wilmer''s approving nod, Johnny reached out his hands and grabbed Benson and Leah by their necks, and lifted them from the ground.
Their faces contorted in pain as their legs kicked helplessly in the air. No matter how they struggled to free themselves from Johnny, their efforts were to no avail.
Behind Johnny, Wilmer''s voice
resounded again. "I''m here to get Ms. Camden and Nathan. I''ll spare you if you tell me where they are. But if you refuse to cooperate, then too bad send you off before you can even have yourst meal."
Benson and Leah did not say a single word. They were already choking for breath as Johnny''s grip tightened around their necks, but they knew they would do everything they could to protect their family.
Just as they were on the verge of passing out, a low andmanding voice pierced through the air. “Hands off!
