Nathaniel was stunned for a moment.
Little did he expect that Carlson would know about Golden Lancehead Venom.
"Are you kidding me?"
There was a trace of anger in Nathaniel's tone. Even though the other party owned an extraordinary status and they both were once trusted buddies, Nathaniel was indeed overcome by a murderous intent at that moment.
Carlson wasn't a fool, hence he could literally tell that Nathaniel was getting annoyed. However, he still smiled and said, "Well, do you want to come over Santell Capital and kill me?"
"It's not impossible. You should know that I've no scruples now. I can go anywhere I want."
Nathaniel was right though.
If Nathaniel was previously unable to display his talent under adversity, he was unconstrained and broke himself free from fetters at that moment. There was nothing that he would be afraid of around the world.
Carlson stopped joking around and whispered to him, "I've to investigate a person and I can't let anyone know about it. Thus I need your help. Can't you cut me some slack for our friendship's sake?"
"Are you begging me now?"
Nathaniel was feeling much better out of the blue.
Who was Carlson?
Nobody knew him as much as Nathaniel.
He had been always been a prideful person. Even though they were both super close friends, he had never fallen to his knees and begged anyone. Well, his identity was indeed noble. It seemed to be the first time that he was pleading for help from someone.
Nathaniel had initially thought that his irritating utterance would annoy Carlson and cause him to hang up the call. However, little did he expect that the other party did not do so yet said frankly, "Yeah, I'm begging you now. Can you please lend me your manpower?"
Nathaniel was completely stunned at that moment.
This was not Carlson's manner.
In other words, perhaps the person he wanted to investigate was very important to him.
Nathaniel understood Carlson well. Over the past years, Carlson had kept his distance from everyone. Even if they were lifetime buddies, he was reticent and estranged himself from the others.
He had his own pride.
What was more, there was nobody who couldn't figure out by him with his current power.
As long as he gave an order, there were plenty of capable people who would take the initiative to work for him. Wondered who was the person which made him so discreet yet he could even lower his status to look up for?
"Hmm a woman?"
A man.
Nathaniel had thought that Carlson kept a low profile due to the relationship. However, he was somewhat surprised by Carlson's reply.
"Do you like men?"
"Screw you! I'm not a gay!"
Eventually, Carlson didn't manage to maintain his demeanor with Nathaniel's whimsical thoughts.
Nathaniel let out a laugh while the previous awkward aura between them had blown over.
"I don't understand. Who has made Master Mo to be so sentimental but others can't get to know about it?"
Nathaniel joked. He had initially thought that he was just joking arbitrarily. However, he could hear nothing on the line for quite some time, which made him stun for a moment.
"Master Mo!"
"Nathaniel, I can tell you, but you have to promise that only both of us know about it."
Carlson replied with a solemn manner.
Nathaniel's expression had turned somewhat serious.
"I can't listen to you anymore. I'll give a call to my man later. Well, I've no idea when he'll be able to contact you."
Nathaniel had simply wanted to banter Carlson earlier and did not intend to know anything. He had known better than anyone else that the person whom Carlson wished to investigate definitely had a complicated identity.
It was never a good thing to get to know too much especially when he was involved in the affairs of the Santell Capital. Nathaniel hadn't been so ridiculous.
He clearly understood about Carlson's personality, hence he did not hesitate to ask Silver Fox to offer his help.
In other words, he definitely wouldn't let Zion get involved in that matter.
After all, his child was too young to engage in too much incidents as it would ruin him.
Little did Carlson know about the cumbersome thoughts in Nathaniel's heart. Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and then replied with a smile, "Well, I've changed my mind now. You really need to know about it."
"Master Mo, it's not funny at all."
Nathaniel was feeling somewhat melancholy.
As he felt that Carlson was being always too carefree.
However, Carlson replied nonchalantly, "Don't you want to listen about someone who was related to your wife?"
It was literally grabbing the soft spot of Nathaniel, which made it hard to reject Carlson's suggestion for a while.
Nathaniel looked at Mango, who looked back at him with puzzled expression. He covered the microphone and told Mango, "Can you get me a cup of coffee? I'm thirsty."
Mango knew that Nathaniel was trying to keep her away.
She was indifferent. She was not interested in those things where Nathaniel didn't wish her to know as she believed that Nathaniel could handle these matters well.
"Alright. Hurry up. It won't taste good if the coffee gets cold."
Mango smiled before she turned around and walked back to the mall.
