When Penny and her family heard that Nathan was going to meet the Warlord of Avalon, Bachok Khan, they were shocked.
Penny tried stopping Nathan by saying anxiously, "Nathan, Bachok Khan is Avalon's Warlord. He frequently leads his men to fight wars and kills people mercilessly. You're planning on meeting him even after crippling his brother? He's definitely not letting you off the hook."
Nathan smiled and said, "This isn't Avalon. He won't be dominating this place any time soon. Don't worry, Honey. I'll come back in the blink of an eye. Moreover, no matter if it is a blessing or a curse, it has to be resolved sooner or later."
As he said this, he gestured at Lenard Smith to lead the way.
The two of them, together with Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight headed to the International Hotel of Channing to meet Bachok Khan.
Seeing as she wasn't able to change Nathan's mind, Penny wanted to risk her life to go with him.
However, she was held back by Benson as he whispered to her, "Nathan insists on going alone. You won't be of any help even if you tag along."
Penny burst into tears as she watched Nathan's car gradually fade in the distance. "Dad, I'd rather die with Nathan than to watch it happen to him."
Benson responded, "You're so foolish. Why don't you call for reinforcements to save Nathan instead?"
Penny smiled wryly. "Call for reinforcements? This is the Warlord of Avalon, Bachok Khan, that we're talking about. Where do we go to find help?"
Benson replied, "Did you forget what happened last time? The Griffins from the East tried to cause trouble by leading a mob against us Smiths. Ferlyn's boyfriend, Chris Perry, requested the military to mobilize a large army to protect us."
Penny's eyes lit up for a moment but soon dimmed down as she shook her head and said, "We asked for Chris Perry's help yesterday at the Smith's family home, but he told us he is powerless to do so.”
"He probably doesn't want to help. However, at this point, we can only beg him," Benson replied.
Penny nodded vigorously. "Okay. He's staying in the Smith family home for the next couple of days. We'll take this opportunity to beg him to take action and save Nathan."
The Smiths then rushed back to the Smith family home to beg Chris Perry to save Nathan.
