Nathan, Penny, Kylie, the Captain of National Guards, Callan Stone, and a few dozen armed soldiers stepped out from the vans.
Meanwhile, Griffin and his men were scared senseless as they raised their hands.
Nathan asked calmly, "Who sent you here?"
Griffin stuttered, "l-lt's a misunderstanding..."
Before he could finish, Stone snatched a gun from a nearby soldier and smashed it against Griffin's face.
Blood spurted out from him from the impact.
Griffin shrieked in pain as he fell backward!
Click!
Callan loaded the gun as he pointed it at Griffin, who lay on the ground.
Griffin's legs trembled and he peed his pants.
Nathan repeated himself calmly, "I'll ask you one more time. Who sent you here?"
Griffin sounded absolutely miserable when he said, "Mr. Lund, Joey Lund, from the Lund Family. He's at the White Swan hotel, and he requests for Ms. Penny Smith's presence. I'm following his orders to fetch Ms. Smith."
Nathan knew that Joey Lund held a banquet at the White Swan hotel and invited all the powerful people in Channing because Penny, Franklin, and he received Joey's invitation this afternoon.
Franklin rejected the invitation by simply making an excuse up.
On the other hand, Nathan didn't even pay Joey any heed.
How dare Joey Lund send someone here to harass my wife. It's outrageous!
Nathan's expression became thunderous!
Callan asked Nathan politely, "Mr. Cross, how should we deal with them?"
Nathan replied coldly, "It's all up to you!"
Callan nodded. "Alright!"
Nathan called Thomas, and in no time Thomas appeared and sent Nathan and the lot back home.
Callan, on the other hand, commanded his subordinates, "Take these rascals back with us!"
