Due to his broken limbs and after being dehydrated for a long period of time, Victor's lips were parched and cracked. He was barely alive.
When he saw Peyton and the others, he spoke in a frail voice, "Godfather... Nathan Cross broke my limbs, and sent me back here stuffed in this casket. He did this to warn you. He said if this happens again, you'll be the next person lying in the casket."
Boom!
Peyton and the others flew into a rage.
How dare this lowlife scoundrel from the Cross family challenge the Blacks? He needs to be taught a lesson!
After a moment, Adam squinted his eyes and voluntarily offered his help. "Dad, if Victor couldn't handle both Nathan and Penny, please allow me to complete his task!”
Upon hearing that, Peyton lightened up. "All right, I'll leave this in your good hands!"
Adam Black answered confidently, "Yes, sir!"
Riverside, Channing.
Sean, together with his two sons, Samuel and Paul, came to visit Nathan.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Sean looked at Nathan and asked, "Nathan, why couldn't the Civil Affairs Bureau annul your marriage with Penny in the system? And why couldn't the Household Registration Office remove you from their database?"
Penny and the entire family looked at Nathan with much curiosity too!
Nathan Cross grinned. "For many years, I was a military man serving the North. Back then, I was just a platoon leader. During a mission, I rescued the commanding officer which was considered a meritorious deed. This is why they couldn't delete my data from the system."
Sean and the rest of them finally got to know the reason behind it.
