Everybody's expressions changed drastically when they saw Nathan.
Ava seized the opportunity to launch a few moves on his opponents and successfully defeated them all.
Just then, Colin arrived with the Elite Eight and Felidae Battalion.
They emanated a murderous aura and surrounded the place completely.
Nathan asked Penny gently, “Are you okay?”
The latter nodded.
Turning around, Nathan questioned with a frightening gaze, “Can someone tell me what's going on?”
Immediately, Ava dashed over. She explained loudly while saluting Nathan, “Chief Cross, the doctor confirmed that Mrs. Cross is pregnant. These guys came out of nowhere and insisted on arresting Mrs. Cross. They were so rough and impertinent. I was worried that they might hurt Mrs. Cross, so I confronted them. Thankfully, you came in the nick of time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been horrible.”
Penny is pregnant?
A dark cloud rolled over Nathan's formerly astounded expression.
Steeling himself, Enrique approached him with a smile plastered on his face and tried to justify himself, “Chief Cross, I'm just discharging my duty to invite Mrs. Cross back to assist in the investigation. I believe that you're able to understand my position, right?”
Nathan shot him a death stare. “Is this how you invite someone to cooperate with your investigation? You have obviously judged my wife guilty before she's proven innocent and treated her like a criminal!”
Enrique started having ants in his pants. He tried explaining, “Chief Cross, please understand that I had no choice but to perform what I've been tasked to do for the case.”
Nathan reproached, “Carrying out your duty? On whose order? Who commanded you to treat my wife like a criminal? Did Erwin ask you to investigate why President Woods' condition has deteriorated? Or did he ask you to arrest my wife?”
The incident had totally infuriated Nathan that he exploded beyond control.
