With how weak Nathan was at the moment, he couldn't help Hermes and the others up.
As such, he could only say hurriedly, “Please get up. You are all my seniors. I couldn't possibly have you all kneel before me, a junior.”
Hearing that, the crowd got to their feet.
Nathan continued, “Lothar's internal organs have been crushed, and there is no doubt that he will die. This meant that you have all been avenged. We should get ready to leave as this is not a place to stay for long.”
Everyone at the scene was an elite from various parts of the world. After bidding goodbye to Nathan, they told him that they owed him a favor. Should he ever need help, he only needed to say it, and they would rush over to offer up their assistance.
Soon after, everyone took their leave.
It wasn't long before the only ones left at the scene were the elites from Eurasia such as Hermes, Blood Sea Devil, Master of Mount Belyy, and several others.
Because Hermes and the others were heading back to Eurasia, they volunteered to escort the injured Nathan, promising to protect him on their journey.
Nathan responded, “Thank you for your kindness. Now that Heavenly City has been razed to the ground, it won't take long for Ariarica's military forces to arrive here. It's best if we leave soon.”
“Okay. We'll escort you back, Mr. Cross.”
With everyone protecting Nathan, they soon left Heavenly City.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of Doom Canyon, a burly figure could be seen moving quickly with Lothar on his back.
When he finally stopped, he lowered Lothar slowly onto a large flat stone.
At the moment, Lothar's life was hanging by a thread. With hints of gratitude showing on his face, he looked up at the man before him and uttered weakly, “Here I was wondering who it was that saved me. Turns out it's you, Admiral Max.”
Indeed, the person in front of Lothar was none other than Max.
Recently, Max had been lying low as he had not shown himself in public, nor had he been yelling for Eurasia's downfall in the news.
As for the reason why, it wasn't because he was afraid of Nathan.
