At the police station.
The police officer pointed at the computer screen, telling Nathan and Thomas, "We've gone through The Imperial's surveillance tapes. This person knocked out the waiter and impersonated him as he delivered alcohol to the private room. The coroner's preliminary analysis showed that Chien died from poisoning, so the police suspect this man is the killer."
Nathan queried, "Have you managed to identify him?"
Shaw shook his head. "He's not in any of our systems so he's probably an unregistered citizen of the nation."
Nathan nodded before he left the police station with Thomas.
As they stepped out of the building, Thomas could not contain himself anymore. "Sir, who do you think is causing all this trouble in the dark?"
"It's definitely not someone from the other nationsorthe North as they wouldn't cause such minor incidents only.”
Thomas understood Nathan had a lot of enemies from the North and the other nations bordering their nation. He knew that his real identity was the General of the North Army. He also knew a lot of influential people in the North had different ideals from his general. They were constantly going against him and would be more than happy if Nathan were taken care of.
His general was right. If this was an attack from these enemies, the scale would be a lot bigger. As such, the troublemakers could only be from Channing itself or the South.
When the pool of enemies had been narrowed down so much, the answer was fairly obvious. It was most likely Nathan's newest enemy, the Zabinski family.
As one of the Southern Four, the Zabinski family was incredibly powerful in the South. After what Nathan did to Jerry Zabinski, there was no doubt that the family was furious and wanted to claim his life.
Thomas narrowed his eyes as he huffed, "The Zabinski family is really asking for it!"
Nathan's voice was as calm as ever when he replied, "If this really is the Zabinski family's doing, the police and you won't be able to find any evidence. I'll contact Colin and let him have a look.
"Once it's confirmed the Zabinski family is behind this, they'll just have to be wiped from the surface of the earth."
