His subordinate could only feel the atmosphere was overwhelmed with murderous intent. He kept his mouth shut and backed away.
In the meantime, Beckham could feel Nathaniel's killing intent even through the line. He responded quickly, "No, we're trying our best to sustain his life. However, he doesn't look good as he has lost a lot of blood. Though we have got his back, his body condition is worrisome. It's better for you to bring him back earliest as possible."
If Newell died in the International Prison, Beckham really couldn't imagine about his consequence.
Nathaniel sneered and said, "You've let go of the person that I wanted to imprison while my people who paid a prison visit almost died at your place. Now, you want me to bring him back and pretend nothing happened? How ridiculous! Do you know that Sisella has hurt my right-hand man after she fled out? My buddy's life is still uncertain now. Beckham, I reckon that you don't care if your international prison closes down."
After hearing his remarks, Beckham was ruffled.
Nathaniel was wealthy though Beckham didn't know how much money he had earned. However, he clearly knew that he must not offend him. It was hard for him to be scolded by someone.
There were many people who demanded for help from the International Prison over these years, but Beckham had never been insulted like that. Hence, he couldn't help but utter in a cold voice, "Mr. Ye, are you trying to threaten me?"
"I'll give you five minutes."
Nathaniel hung up the call right after he finished speaking.
He said nothing. Instead, he instantly asked his man to bring him a laptop and typed the code. It didn't take long for him to enter the International Prison's information system.
Simultaneously, the information of the wardens from the International Prison was revealed on the international celebrities chart.
Beckham had been driven crazy.
All those prison wardens were his right- hand men who worked for him anonymously, but their backgrounds had almost been exposed. How would they still work for him in the future?
For the first time, Beckham was somewhat panicked.
He hurriedly gave a call to Nathaniel. Unfortunately, Nathaniel didn't pick up the call.
Nathaniel had felt oppressed over those past few days. He was extremely irritated. He would not hold his temper if it wasn't for fear of making Mango worried.
Michael was lying unconscious, while Newell's condition was unknown. Even worse, Sisi had sneaked in, and he was uncertain if she was still present in Baxter Alliance.
Beckham didn't know how to talk to him properly, and even arrogantly asked Nathaniel to pick up Newell!
When had Nathaniel ever been a pushover?
Beckham almost burst into tears.
If Nathaniel didn't answer his call, would his true identity and background be completely revealed?
Beckham repented himself for not being smart enough after he thought about it.
Why didn't he investigate in advance on Nathaniel's ability other than being wealthy?
Beckham quickly asked his men to check out the news of the people around Nathaniel, and soon he contacted Noah.
Noah didn't know what was going on, but he was a little surprised upon receiving the call from Beckham.
"Why are you calling me?"
"Dr. Soo, I'm begging you here. I know you're close with Nathaniel. Please get me off the hook. I'll owe you a favor, is it okay?"
There were only a few people who knew that Beckham was the founder of the International Prison. Noah didn't know about it either. Beckham was merely a dependent of his patient to Noah and his family owned a huge sphere of influence.
Noah pondered for a moment and asked, "How did you offend Nathaniel?"
"It's nothing much but only my men were not well guarded which has accidentally allowed a thug to hurt Newell. I didn't know Mr. Ye's temper and means before, so I threatened him to send someone to pick up Newell. As a result, Mr. Ye has blown his stack."
Beckham replied in an evasive manner but Noah somehow understood his words.
The grudge that happened between Nathaniel and Beckham was because of Newell.
Noah knew what Newell meant to Nathaniel.
He said indifferently, "You're going to be in huge trouble then. Nathaniel cared about this brother-in-law very much. Rumors said that he has given one percent of the shares of his group to Newell. After all, Nthaniel hated people threatening him the most."
"Yeah Mr. Noah, I'm sorry. I'm wrong. I've really made a big mistake. Can you please plead mercy for me? Please! I will do anything for you."
Beckham lamented over his imprudent utterance.
Noah smiled and said, "Let me try. It may not work. However, I've heard that you have a Saussurea in your hand. So, if I succeed..."
"I'll send it to you with a helicopter right away."
Beckham would even give him a Ginseng of thousand years if he asked, let alone a Saussurea.
After hanging up, Noah immediately gave a call to Mango.
Nathaniel was still digging the details of Beckham. When he heard Mango's cell phone rang, he frowned slightly.
Mango was afraid that her call would affect him, thus she immediately covered her cell phone as she went to the terrace behind.
"What's the matter, Noah?"
