The atmosphere had inexplicably turned awkward.
In the end, Nathan shed a smile and broke the silence. His voice was calm as he asked, “Mueller,
did you run into trouble?”
Mueller had no choice but to reply, “Mr. Cross, it''s bad news. I''m afraid I can''t help you find your
master anymore.”
Nathan''s brows knitted together, but he quickly rxed and asked nonchntly, “Did you run into
trouble? Or perhaps someone told you to stay out of the matter?”
Mueller didn''t respond. He seemed both embarrassed and conflicted.
Nathan promptly understood what had happened. He got to his feet and stretched his hand out. “No
matter what, thank you for your help. You didn''t seed in finding my master, but I know you''ve
tried your best. Thank you.”
After a brief hesitation, Mueller took Nathan''s hand. His expression wasplicated as he said,
“Thank you for understanding my situation.”
Nathan nodded. “As I can''t find my master here, there''s no point for me to stay any longer. I will
most probably take my private ne out of Ariarica this afternoon. Thank you for your hospitability,
Mueller. If youe to Eurasia, please let me know in advance so I can give you a warm wee.”
Mueller nodded profusely. “Sure!”
After that, Nathan and Penny left his residence with Colin, Kraven, and the other subordinates.
Outside, Nathan and Penny got into their car. Kraven also climbed into the passenger seat of the
same car.
After shutting the door, Kraven blurted anxiously, “Mr. Cross, Mueller was clearly about to find out
where Master is, yet someone interfered and stopped him from investigating further. Why are we
leaving Ariarica in a hurry? We can carry out an investigation ourselves. It might take some time,
but there is a possibility that we can still find out where Master is.”
Nathan responded nonchntly, “Mueller is the mayor of Newcove and an influential figure in
Ariarica. However, the phone call managed to appease his anger and stop him from carrying out the
investigation. I believe the person on the other end of the line is someone from Pentacle Tower. If
we don''t pretend to leave, they will keep their guard up, which will make it difficult for us to find any
clues.”
Kraven''s eyes widened in astonishment. “Pretend to leave? Mr. Cross, what do you have in mind?”
“We pretend to take the private ne out of Ariarica, but when the ne stops halfway to refuel, I''ll
change nes secretly and sneak back into Ariarica to investigate Master''s whereabouts. I believe
it won''t take long for me to discover where he is.”
Colin chimed in, “President Cross, this is a dangerous mission. Besides, the First Lady is now
pregnant.”
ncing at his wife, Nathan replied, “Penny can''t sneak back into Ariarica with me. She will return
to Eurasia with Ava and the Elite Eight on the private ne as nned.”
Penny seemed worried. “Hubby, I know your master is important to you, but it''s too dangerous for
you to head back to Ariarica alone. Perhaps we can figure out another way.”
Nathan shook his head. “I can''t wait that long. It seems that Master''s disappearance is rted to
some sort of national secret. They know I''m searching for him and might harm him. I need to find
out what happened as soon as possible. Besides, if we send our spies into Ariarica, there is a
possibility they won''t discover anything. I also think it''s dangerous, so it''s better for me to take action
personally.”
As Nathan had made up his mind, Penny knew it was impossible to persuade him otherwise.
Gently, she reminded him, “Please be extra careful.”
Nathan assured her, “I will.”
He turned to Colin and Kraven. “The two of you shalle back to Ariarica with me in secret. Ava
and the Elite Eight will escort Penny back to Eurasia.”
Colin and Kraven replied in unison, “Understood!”
