In a calm and determined manner, Nathan approached and sat on the sofa as though he was the master of the house.
His eyes darted across the various pill bottles on the table before he looked towards Joseph Myers and asked, "Are you surprised?"
"Fernando and his men...” Joseph wanted to ask about them but realized that it was inappropriate.
He immediately changed the topic and queried,
"What are you doing here?"
With a smile, Nathan responded, "I thought you'd wanted to ask where Fernando and his friends were? Well, they are on the way to hell. Naturally, I came here to send you their way too. At least they won't feel so lonely with you in that world."
As he heard Nathan's words, Joseph's face turned as pale as a sheet. An astonished and terrified look crept onto his face as he quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table and ordered, "Guards! Come to the second floor now!"
Nathan snorted, "There's no need to look for them. They have all left."
Joseph's pupils dilated and his eyes widened in shock. He was a man who feared death and hence, there were a dozen bodyguards protecting him.
How could Nathan deal with them so easily?
Nathan shot him a cold stare, as though looking at a prey waiting to be slaughtered. In a casual tone, he said, "I gave you a warning that night at Juno Hotel. I said that if you ever lay a finger on my wife, you would die a horrible death. Don't you remember that?"
"Nathan, how dare you kill me. Do you know who I am?" Joseph shouted at him. In fact, he had already detected Nathan's murderous intentions and was terrified. This was merely an act and deep down, he was extremely afraid of what would happen to him.
"I am Channing's top ten richest men. I have many friends, no matter in the underworld or in business. I'm regarded as a guest even in the Mayor's home. How dare you kill me?" He continued.
"I swear, if you even lay a finger on me, you will never have a place in Channing. Do you want your whole family to be destroyed and harmed?"
"Do you have anything else to say?" Nathan asked coldly.
Joseph's jaws dropped. Nathan's reaction was unexpected, especially since he had spent so much effort trying to threaten him!
Standing up, Nathan tugged at his sleeves and told him, "Since you have no more death wishes, let's send him on his way, Colin."
After leaving Joseph with these words, he turned around and left the room.
Just as he arrived at the stairs, Joseph's spine-chilling scream could be heard. After a loud snap and crack, the scream stopped.
It was past ten when Nathan returned home.
Penny finally managed to coax her daughter to sleep and was doing Nathan's laundry.
