Chapter 685


    Nathaniel was still in bed when he heard a loud knock and his room door flung open. He got up while


    yawning and went to get a cup of coffee. His hair was in a mess, looking tired. He started sleepily, “


    What do you need to tell me? What''s so important that you had to invite yourself here? Can''t we just


    talk at the office?”


    Arianna kicked something beside her aside and looked at Nathaniel’s ce disapprovingly. “Can''t you


    clean this ce up? Better yet, can''t you employ someone to do it for you?! Look at this mess!”


    “Who woulde and clean up? Besides, I''m living here alone, and I don''t have to take care of anyone


    nor need anyone''s help.”


    Nathaniely on the sofa and ced his legs on his coffee table while sipping his coffee. “Feel free to


    make yourself at home.”


    Arianna’s brows furrowed as she looked around the room. She spotted a bar stool and sat on it, “Have


    you heard? Henry got caught and is being held somewhere.”


    “I knew it.” Nathaniel pointed at Arianna with his index finger and replied nonchntly, “Calm down.


    Don''t worry about it.”


    “You''re quite calm, aren''t you? I wondered who the person was who assured me that everything would


    work ording to n.”


    Arianna sounded calm, but she was annoyed with him. They had done everything to support Henry


    Lodge and ensure he could secure the head of the family position. They wanted to drag Lily down while

    at it as well. Unfortunately, nothing went as nned, and they ended up failing.


    Why was Lily so difficult to deal with? If this were two years ago,


    Arianna would not even notice such a nobody, but now she had been hearing Lily''s name constantly


    around her. Arianna hated Lily''s name even more so than Damian''s.


    “There’s no such thing as a foolproof n,” Nathaniel drawled. He continued, “I received information


    that no one else knows at the Lodge family’s residence the other day. The people Henry brought with


    him also disappeared. Don''t you find this strange?”


    “No, I don’t! I only want results! Results! Nathaniel, where''s the result you promised?” Arianna yelled


    and extended her hand toward him, “Now what?"


    “Yes, results are important, but you can''t say the process wasn''t either.” Nathaniel lowered his legs


    from the table and sat up. He set his coffee cup on the table, took out a pack of cigarettes, and started


    smoking. “I''m still waiting for my informant. I want to know what happened the other day and where


    Henry disappeared to. I''m interested in what happened to the people Henry brought. They were all


    trained in kickboxing! ”


    “Does this mean there''s another skilled kickboxer in the Lodge family that we don''t know of?” Arianna


    said out loud while she thought about the possibilities.


    Nathaniel remained silent. He was also trying to figure out how to exin this. At first, Nathaniel had


    wondered if Lily was responsible for this, but this possibility was very low. Nathaniel did not know that


    Henry had hired the infamous Light-Shadow Killers.


    However, Henry dared to return to the Lodge family residence, even though he no longer knew


    kickboxing. It meant the people he hired could deal with the Lodge family.


    Henry knew who he was dealing with since he used to be one of them. Aside from the Lodge family


    apprentices, every member of the Lodge family had more or less a kickboxing background. Henry


    would not have risked it if he had no confidence in his hired help.


    However, he failed to take back his position. It could only mean that a hidden member of the Lodge


    family was highly skilled in kickboxing.


    Who could it be? Could it be Justin?


    “Enough of the spection. We''re not even nning to fight. Since Henry has failed, which disrupted


    our n, everything might go down the drain,” Ariannamented in annoyance.
