Chapter 2431


    ?


    After leaving the White House, Nathan returned to the vi that the Windsor family allowed him to stay in.


    Back home, Magda came to wee him. She said softly, "Mr. Cross, a Ms. Stewart has been waiting for you for some time."


    Ms. Stewart? Oh, she''s talking about Cheryl Stewart.


    Nathan''s gaze trailed past her and stopped at a gorgeousdy sitting on the sofa. It was none other than Cheryl.


    Magda cast a strange gaze in Nathan''s direction.


    It didn''t escape Magda''s notice that Nathan was a married man. As someone of the same sex as Cheryl and Kylie, she knew they both had romantic feelings for Nathan.


    Thus, she stared at Nathan as though he were a yboy.


    It was pretty obvious what she had in mind.


    s, Nathan couldn''t really exin himself and had to let her be.


    He removed his shoes and entered the vi. By then, Cheryl had already gotten to his feet. "You''re back, Nathan," she greeted him warmly.


    Nathan shot her a grin. "Cheryl, why are you here? Is something up?"


    Cheryl pouted. "Why? Do I need a reason to be here?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "Of course not" Nathan answered cheerfully.


    Cheryl stopped joking with him. She wore a serious exnation and revealed the reason for her visit. "Nathan, do you know besides the Norris family, the other four Reclusive Families'' Patriarchs have brought their top fighters to


    Brimmopolis?"


    Nathan grinned. "What does that have to do with me?"


    Cheryl grew flustered. "Why not? They might seem to be here to celebrate General Quillen''s birthday, but everyone knows the other reason they are here -to seek revenge on you. After all, you have wounded their members. They wouldn''t let it slip."


    Nathan gestured for the housekeeper to pour him a ss of water before turning to Cheryl calmly. "I was merely testing their abilities on behalf of the military. How can they me me for doing that?" Cheryl replied hastily, "Nathan, so you don''t know how serious the matter is. You''ve offended the Quillen family, and now the four Reclusive Families! They said they want you dead!"


    Nathan was amused. "They want me dead? Dream on!"


    He was unfazed, but Cheryl was extremely anxious.


    She tried to make him understand his situation. "Nathan, there are many capable fighters in the four Reclusive Families. They are capable of turning the world upside down. You shouldn''t underestimate them. I wanted to ask my dad to ask President Woods or the Chief Military Governor for help, but he refused to do so. He also told me to stay out of the matter. But this concerns your safety. I''m your friend, so I can''t stay out of this."


    Nathan grinned. "Your dad is right. You should stay out of this, for I can handle it myself."


    Cheryl tried hard to keep her frustration in check. She was about to ask how Nathan would deal with the matter when amotion sounded outside.


    Colin''s voice rang out. "You can''t do as you like here. Scram!"


    Both Nathan and Cheryl frowned.


    Right then, Magda rushed in.


    "Mr. Cross, a bunch of fierce-looking


    people has just arrived. They


    seemed like trouble. Your driver,


    Colin, has stopped them from


    entering the vi. What if they start a fight?"


    Nathan told her, "I''ll go take a look."


    He spun on his heels and strode out.


    Cheryl went out after him, too.


    At the door, Colin was confronting around a dozen


    of men.


    The leader of the group was a man in ck suit. There was a scar on his face.


    His suit seemed tight as he was muscr. Due to his sturdy figure, the suit looked more like armor on him.


    Those who were observant would


    spot an engraved logo of a griffin m


    silvery-white on his cor and el?


    sleeves. Content beloftimet


    to


    This was the logo of the Gilham family, which was one of the five Reclusive Families.


    He''s from the Gilham family!


    Nathan asked, "What''s going on?"


    Upon seeing him, Colin replied politely, "Mr. Cross, these men are from the four Reclusive Families.


    They demanded in an arrogant manner to see you."


    The scarface and the rest spotted Nathan, too.


    He gave Nathan the once over. "So you''re Nathan Cross, the man who wounded our members?


    We''re here on behalf of the four


    Reclusive Families -the Zuckerberg family, the Zartman family, the Gilham family, and the Jimmerson family. Our


    Patriarchs will be holding a banquet at Pdin


    Resort tonight. Please be there on time."


    He waved, and four men stepped forward with a gilded invitation in each of their hands.


    The invitations were from the four Reclusive Families.


    Cheryl''s face paled, for she was worried about Nathan. It''s a dangerous trap!
