Sherman stared at Nathan with a cold gaze, saying, “So you are Nathan, the unlucky General of the North, who offended Mr. Davier and was removed from his post? How dare you kill a member of the Goldstein family in front of me!”
Nathan responded in a calm manner, “I have warned the Goldstein family countless times to never come and provoke me. Why aren't you listening to me?”
After Sherman let out a laugh, he stated, “Since you've killed a member of our family, do you think we would be utterly grateful for that? My father already knows about everything you have done to the Goldstein family. He didn't bother to come and deal with you personally, hence he instructed me to teach you a lesson instead.
Nathan, you used to be the General of the North and now you're still considered a decent person by holding on to a false title. If you were to kill yourself in the name of redemption, I can promise you that I won't make things difficult for your friends and family. In fact, I'll treat your wife and daughter well. How about that?”
He's asking Nathan to commit suicide in order to redeem himself!
Colin, Ava, and the Elite Eight were all filled with rage, while Penny, Benson, Leah, and Sean were very concerned.
However, Nathan's expression was rather calm. He took out a cigarette and lit it, then he said in a light-hearted manner, “Don't even dream that you or your father is worthy of my suicidal redemption. Regardless, I've heard about your father, Rax, who was once a nationally renowned figure and did some good deeds for the people too. Therefore, I'll give you a chance today. Break both your own legs and kneel in front of the
Smith family's house entrance for three days and three nights in repentance, then I'll spare your life.”
Break both my legs and kneel in front of the Smith family's house entrance for three days and three nights? Isn't that throwing away my life? I'm the son of Mighty Rax after all and I've never been threatened by others like this before.
Sherman's face darkened and he exclaimed, “I was thinking of letting you die with dignity. Since you're unwilling to accept that, don't blame me then. Pathol, Maha, Liber!”
Three figures, consisting of the plump and fairskinned Pathol, Maha who was sturdy and expressionless, and the sloppy Liber who was nicknamed the Drunken Master, stepped forward in unison and exclaimed, “Mr. Goldstein, please give us your orders.”
Sherman commanded coldly, “The three of you will strike together and take him down.”
Nathan had taken down Morgoth with a single strike earlier.
Under Rax's commandment, Morgoth was the weakest among the Mighty Twelve Warlords, but Nathan was no weakling after killing Morgoth easily.
Sherman did not want to risk being reckless either, so he immediately ordered all three warlords to strike simultaneously.
Having exchanged glances with each other, Pathol, Maha and Liber responded all at once, “Yes sir!”
