Nick jumped up from the chair and barked fiercely, "How dare you, Nathan Cross? You killed the men hired by the Griffins! We will take down every single one of your family, and..."
Nathan interrupted nonchalantly, "Oh, looks like he doesn't have any last words. You can send him on his way, Colin."
Colin zipped over to Nick and stood in front of the latter as soon as Nathan issued the order.
Nick was surprised. Before he could open his lips and say anything, Colin had already punched the man.
Boom!
Colin's heavy punch landed on Nick's face and distorted it. Blood and brain matter oozed in a gruesome sight, and Nick died instantly.
Sean and the others stared at Nick's body that had fallen back onto the chair.
Everyone was so scared that they covered their lips. It was too frightening to even scream.
Nathan calmly instructed Colin, "Remember to send the bodies back to the Griffins."
Colin replied grimly, "Understood!"
The three dead bodies were taken away soon after.
The bloodstains on the living room floor were cleaned, too, but the Smiths could not settle down.
The worry on Penny's face deepened. They had already offended the Griffins, and Nathan had worsened the situation by killing Nick and the others.
No one pitied Nick Griffin. He had it coming because he murdered Leo Smith, but Nathan's killing of Nick meant that there truly was no turning back. The Smiths and the Griffins will stay enemies.
The Griffins were powerful and were referred to as the royalty of the East.
The Smiths were relatively weak and didn't have the resources to fight against the Griffins.
When Sean and his family later recovered from their shock, they started to blame Nathan.
Samuel Smith scolded, "Nathan, I know that you are close with Thomas Dunn, and I know you have a few capable fighters with you. However, you killed Nick Griffin, and now our entire family is doomed because of you!"
Sean added, "You are nothing but back luck. You have destroyed my entire family!"
The only one who had remained quiet was Paul. Nick had killed Paul's son, Leo, so in a way, Nathan had helped avenge Leo's death by killing Nick.
For that, Paul was rather grateful to Nathan.
