Yanis was resting in the ward after the doctor and nurses treated his injury.
Nathan soon came in with Hailey, Franklin, and Colin.
Yanis's face was devoid of expression. He stared blankly at the ceiling as if he were in a vegetative state.
Nathan sat on a chair calmly and lit up a cigarette the military had provided him. He said in a solemn voice, "I have bad news for you. The two soldiers who interrogated you have passed away."
Yanis remained static and did not respond to his words. Clearly, he was still refusing to give in.
Nathan paused for a moment before he continued, "They've also killed your son, Hayden Howard."
Yanis's eyes suddenly twitched involuntarily.
Nathan continued, "Those assassins used to be soldiers. If they were able to enter the military base with forged documents, someone must have assisted them. They went around the base looking for you, but instead, they found your son first.”
Yanis' eyes could not help but twitch again.
Nathan puffed his cigarette and added, "I still have one more piece of bad news."
Yanis gradually turned his head to look at Nathan.
Nathan then continued, "The moment you got caught, those people started taking action on your family and relatives. Some of them died, and some went missing. Your family has fallen apart.”
Boom!
Nathan's words were like bombs that exploded in Yanis's ears.
Yanis shouted in a coarse voice, "Liar!"
Nathan remained impassive. "You've worked under Christopher Windsor for a long time. You're his trusted aide. You, of all people, should know his personality because you've done a lot of things for him. You would know if I'm telling the truth."
He then went on to say, "Christopher has been selling official titles illegally, and you're the one helping him. Even the tea store your relative operates was under Christopher's order. Now that they're in trouble, do you think he'll let you and your family off easily?"
Yanis's entire body shuddered.
Indeed, he knew that Christopher would sacrifice his men without any hesitation during difficult times.
The man would kill anyone who stood in his way to protect himself.
Rage spread throughout Yanis's veins.
