Mateo had the same thoughts as Nathaniel.
He grabbed Cyrus by his collar and lifted him.
"You don't want to say it, do you? Well, I'll let you enter the afterworld then so that you can accompany your sister as I'm sure that you both have more to discuss."
Pharrell shivered but he nevertheless bit his lower lip and said, "I really have no idea what you're asking for and I've already admitted that I sent the parcel, so what else do you want?"
"You sent the parcel yet you've no idea what's in it?"
Nathaniel glared at Cyrus coldly as he pointed out Cyrus's lie in an instant.
Cyrus's eyes wandered around and he didn't dare to look at Nathaniel.
"My memory is really bad and I just forgot it... what's the big deal?"
"You f*cking b*stard..."
Mateo was so angry that he wanted to hit him but Nathaniel said, "Forget it, he won't tell us anything, so let's go." "What? We're letting him off the hook just like that? What if he sends Mango strange items again?"
Mateo's anger flared up the moment he thought of this possibility.
Then, Nathaniel looked at Cyrus and sneered as he saw Cyrus smirking after hearing that they were going to let him go, "Uncle, we brought our bodyguards to look for Cyrus yet we let him go just like that without harming him at all, do you think that the mastermind behind this will believe that Cyrus didn't spill the beans?"
Mateo understood it in an instant.
"You're right."
He sneered as he shoved Cyrus aside and Cyrus fell to the ground.
At that moment, Cyrus also came to the realization.
"Nathaniel, you're incredibly wicked!"
"I have no choice as this is your decision and you should thank me for not wanting to hit a person today."
Nathaniel said coldly.
"Bullsh*t! You are not reluctant and you are just..."
Then, Cyrus paused his words all of a sudden.
He shut up out of sharp-wittedness as he realized that he was totally no compare to Nathaniel.
At that moment, Nathaniel knew that Cyrus would not spill a word no matter what he did after seeing his behavior.
A hint of wickedness flashed across his eyes.
Lets go.
Nathaniel was the first to walk away after saying that.
Mateo frowned but he followed Nathaniel out.
"Hey, are you really going to let go of him even though he's our only clue?"
Mateo was reluctant to release Cyrus.
Nathaniel took out a cigarette but he did not light it and just played with it in his fingers.
"It's either he runs away or he looks for the mastermind for help but well get some clues regardless of which method he uses. There's no use in locking him up now as he's probably just a useless pawn."
I see.
It was not until then that Mateo understood Nathaniel's intentions.
He wasn't stupid but he couldn't maintain his composure as Nathaniel could whenever the issue involved Mango.
Nevertheless, Mateo said coldly as he was dissatisfied with Nathaniel's calmness, "Do you even love Mango? How could you still figure things out so calmly at this point!"
However, Nathaniel shook his head and left as he knew that Mateo was just deliberately picking a fight with him.
Mateo followed Nathaniel from behind without the intention to shut his mouth as he was displeased with Nathaniel's reaction.
"I'm really puzzled... Why would Mango fall head over heels in love with a man like you? Do you even have charms? You look so gloomy all day long with your mouth shut most of the time and you're just like an emotionless statue. I would surely not let Mango marry someone like you if I had come back earlier."
Then, Nathaniel halted in his tracks and glared at Mateo coldly as Mateo spoke.
"What? Am I wrong? Do you have a problem with that?"
However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "I finally know why no one wants to be with you even though you're already in your thirties."
"You're the one that no one wants to be with! I was just too busy during youth all because of my tasks and I..."
"Forget it, you won't be able to get a girlfriend even if you weren't busy and let alone a wife."
Nathaniel turned and left after saying that,
Mateo was so exasperated that he scolded angrily, "Wait a minute! You'd better explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by that?"
The two of them left noisily one after the other.
Cyrus squinted his eyes when he saw their behavior.
His sister was in jail and he had to keep himself in the dark while living in fear yet they could spend their lives so carefreely!
Cyrus used to be a regular customer of a nightclub and he once spent money without having to think twice at all but Nathaniel and Mango including Walter had ruined everything.
Then, Cyrus called someone shortly after they left.
"Nathaniel came looking for me...what the h*ll did you send to Mango?"
"Don't ask as that's not something you should know... Also, you're really useless for having yourself exposed so easily."
The other party was using a voice changer.
Cyrus had never seen the mastermind and it was only because the other party promised to give him some benefits and let him avenge his sister that he listened to the person's orders. However, Cyrus became exasperated the moment he heard the other party belittled him like that.
"Why don't you blame yourself instead? You should have told me what's inside in advance so that he wouldn't have seen through my lie."
"Hold on, Nathaniel didn't torture you?"
The other party asked suddenly.
Cyrus said proudly, "There's nothing he could do to me as I refused to reveal anything!"
"Idiot! Nathaniel will have countless ways to make you spill the beans if he wants to know the truth from you yet he didn't do anything to you! Do you not know the reason? How dare you call me? I hope you die in horrible agony!"
Then, the person hung up the call immediately having said that.
"Hey, hey..."
Cyrus didn't expect that the person would treat him like this and he was so angry that he threw away his cell phone.
On the other hand, Nathaniel halted in his tracks the moment he heard Cyrus making a call and Mateo was stunned.
"What are you doing? Do you want to pick a fight with me?"
"You're sick and totally out of your mind!"
Nathaniel got in the car in a flash before taking out the laptop that he kept with him all the time. Afterward, red dots were flashing on the screen the moment he turned it on.
Mateo's eyes widened at that moment.
"F*ck! I thought that there was something wrong with the Hans family's genes but I finally knew where did Zion get his genius genes from...he got it from you!"
Nathaniel didn't stop his actions as Mateo spoke and his fingers were typing hastily on the keyboard as he sneered coldly, "The Hans family are just reckless and muscle-headed."
"Even so, we're much better than a scheming person like you as we're just and honorable!"
"Yea, my honorable uncle, I have found the address of the mastermind and he's right here at Royal Parkland."
Nathaniel finished his investigation within seconds.
Then, Mateo called his men the next second to block the person's way out.
"Cyrus's IQ is surprisingly low."
Mateo realized that Nathaniel was looking at him again after he said that and he felt really awkward being stared at by Nathaniel like that.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing."
