Tim had lost many friends and family in his life, so he was convinced that he was unlucky and would cause harm to everyone around him.
He admired Nathan, but that superstitious belief was so deeply rooted in his mind that no words could change it.
Hence, he refused to go back to the country with Nathan. “Mr. Cross, our deal was for you to stay a few days and prove that I wouldn't bring misfortune to the people around me. Only then would I consider going back with you.”
Nathan calmly replied, “Stop overthinking things. Just get the paperwork for selling your assets ready and come home with me.”
Colin smiled and suggested, “Yeah, come on, Tim. Let's have a drink together.”
Tim used to drink with his friends in the army, but one by one, those friends had died on the battlefield.
That was why he vowed to never drink with anybody again.
He shook his head and replied, “No, thanks, Colin. You guys enjoy it. I have to work on some stuff and will be leaving now. Mr. Cross, Mrs. Cross, please enjoy your drinks and feel free to call me should you need anything.”
After saying that, Tim stood up and left.
He exited the brewery.
A Rolls-Royce pulled up right away, and a polite subordinate showed up to open the door for Tim.
He entered the car without saying anything and sat in the backseat.
The subordinate took the passenger's seat after that.
The driver turned around and asked, “Where are we headed to, Tim?”
Tim calmly replied, “To the War Dragon Chamber's headquarters.”
“Understood.”
The Rolls-Royce drove slowly down the street in the middle of the night and headed toward the War Dragon Chamber's headquarters.
When it reached a secluded crossroad, a black car sped over and smashed into the side of that Rolls-Royce.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out.
The Rolls-Royce flipped over because of the impact of the crash and landed upside down in the middle of the road.
In response, the black car stopped a short distance away.
The doors opened, and both the Monk and the Priest got out of that black car.
