Then, Nathaniel's expression changed instantly.
"Nathaniel."
Nick could see that he wasn't in a good mood. He wanted to say something, but he had no words.
Then, he paused for a moment and finally said, "I did it. It's all me."
However, Nathaniel looked at him as if he didn't know Nick at all.
He was silent, and the calm look in his eyes made Nick panic.
"Why aren't you asking me why?"
"I know you have your reasons, but no matter what kind of reason it is, it's not an excuse for hurting your family members."
After saying that, Nathaniel left.
Nick stared at him as his walked away, and he was left speechless.
Then, he looked at Thomas and frowned. He felt a little uneasy, but he didn't say anything and left immediately.
Meanwhile, Thomas followed Nathaniel to his room.
"What's the result of the report?"
Nathaniel turned his back to Thomas as he spoke, and he stared at the scenery outside.
The sky was bright and clear, but he felt extremely distressed.
Without saying anything, Thomas directly handed the report to him.
Nathaniel took a deep breath and received the document with his trembling hands.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes while reading the information that was written on it.
"How is this possible?"
Then, his eyes darted to Thomas.
Thomas whispered, "Sir Noah did the DNA testing, and it was further verified by various foreign authorities. All the results came out the same."
Hearing this, he clenched the document tightly in disbelief.
"So, he's not Nick! I knew it! Then who is he? Where's the real Nick? Why does this guy have the same face as him?"
However, no one had the answer to his question.
Meanwhile, Thomas stood there quietly.
He knew how devastated Nathaniel was right now.
He had always thought that Nick had died five years ago, so Nathaniel was extremely relieved and overjoyed when Nick returned. Unfortunately, the report showed that the person wasn't the real Nick, and Thomas knew that it would be a huge blow to Nathaniel.
Then, Nathaniel suddenly left the room and went straight to find Madam Ye.
Madam Ye hadn't been doing well these days. Just as she was about to take a bath and relax, she saw Nathaniel walking in hurriedly.
His eyes were red- rimmed, and he looked very agitated.
"What's wrong?"
Surprised by his sudden presence, she immediately asked, "Is it because of Nick? At the end of the day, he is still your younger brother. I know that he has gone too far this time. You can be angry at him but just don't..."
"He's not Nick! Who is he?"
Madam Ye was befuddled at Nathaniel's statement.
"What are you talking about?"
Nathaniel approached her slowly, and he locked the door behind him.
He handed over the DNA report to her and said, "Nick died five years ago, and we received the news from the authorities. However, five years later, you told me that he was still alive, but he was transferred to the Dark Night Empire. Hence, I believed it. I even thanked God for not taking away him from us. However, how are you gonna explain this report to me?"
When Madam Ye looked at the report, she was stunned for a moment at how Nick and Nathaniel shared only one percent of their DNA. "Is this report for the both of you?"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure there aren't any mistakes?"
"I asked Thomas to do it himself."
Madam Ye was taken aback by his words.
Thomas had been working under Nathaniel for ten years. He was very meticulous in carrying out tasks, especially on Nathaniel's orders. Therefore, the results would be very reliable if it was handled by Thomas.
"How come? He's obviously Nick."
Madam Ye was clearly flabbergasted by the result.
Then, Nathaniel took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his emotions. Then, he said, "No matter who he is, he has Nick's face now. However, he is in no place to ruin Nick's reputation, nor can he use Nick's identity to hurt me, my children, or even Wisdom! I won't ever forgive him, regardless of whether he's under you or not! This time, do you know that Mango almost died because of him? He also colluded with Jigsaw Coon of the Underground City, and he was trying to get a hold of our family's secrets. Perhaps he is someone from the military, but as long as he's not Nick Ye, then I have no reason to tolerate him anymore. I'll deal with him my way, so don't you try and stop me!"
Madam Ye hesitated for a bit, but she didn't stop him. "Based on Mango's situation now, the children shouldn't come back for the time being."
"I know."
After that, Nathaniel walked out as soon as he finished speaking.
Meanwhile, Thomas had been waiting for him in the room.
When he saw Nathaniel return, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, what are we going to do next?"
"Find Zion, and hand him the document I asked for. After that, well have to get the authorization contract from Noah."
"Of course, Mr. Ye."
As Thomas was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Nathaniel.
"Did you go and visit Walter? How is he doing?"
