Early the next day, the Davier and the Goldstein family caught wind of the misfortune that befell Quent and Webb.
Clifford was astonished when he found out from his subordinate that Nathan showed up and put an end to Quent and Webb.
I thought he went into hiding because he knew I was going after him for revenge?Why did he show up in the end?And why did the army not take any actions against him for being a deserter? That's strange!
Clifford could not wrap his head around Nathan's tricks even after some pondering.
Just as Clifford was caught in a muddle of thoughts, Spook, who was commissioned to collect information for Clifford, came in. “Mr.
Davier, Nathan had killed Mr. Douglas. What should we do now? Should we arrange for someone to avenge his death?” his coarse voice rung lowly and softly beside Clifford's ears.
Clifford rolled his eyes concocting a plan before he asked, “What is the Goldsteins' reaction?”
“Webb is their heir. The whole family was shaken when they found out he died. They vowed to take revenge. I heard Ms. Goldstein is fixated on leading the whole family to Saphira Mountain to request for Mighty Rax's help. It seems like they plan on asking him to vanquish Nathan.”
Clifford bit his lips and took in a breath of cold air.
“What did you say? The Goldstein family is asking Mighty Rax to deal with Nathan? He's been living under the radar for the past twenty
I ”
years!
“This is exactly what I heard,” Spook reiterated.
