"Now I understand why Riverdale has been so unstable lately. First, I was poisoned out of nowhere, and then that kid from the Wright family had an accident. It turns out you're the ones stirring up trouble!" Nigel exclaimed.
Black Widow did not refute Nigel's words, nor did she confirm that their Serpent Alliance was involved in his poisoning or Zach's assassination attempt.
"He seemed to be doing quite well outside; why would he want to return to a small place like Riverdale?" Nigel pressed further.
"Mr. Shaw is, after all, from Riverdale. It's not strange for him to feel nostalgic. He was forced to leave Riverdale, and if he can't return honorably, he won't be able to swallow that bitterness!" Black Widow answered.
"Those who died unjustly would surely be restless if he comes back!" Nigel slammed the table. "Has he forgotten what he did before? How dare he talk about being unable to return?" he added.
"Mr. Hansen Senior, everyone has their own ambitions. You don't need to be so harsh." Black Widow's smile faded slightly, and her tone became somewhat displeased.
"Is indiscriminate killing what you call ambition?" Nigel's gaze turned colder.
"I know Cayden's character too well. A dog can't change its nature. I don't believe he would suddenly change if he returned to Riverdale!"
"Mr. Hansen Senior!" Black Widow frowned.
"Enough! I will not agree to this matter. Even if I did, Vic and Lloyd would never agree either. Are you planning to threaten them one by one until they comply? Do you have that capability?" Nigel's stance was clear—he would not back down.
"Instead of wasting time here, you might as well advise him not to have unrealistic fantasies! He will never have another chance to enter Riverdale again! Since he's getting older, he should enjoy his life abroad and stop causing trouble," Nigel bellowed.
Black Widow sighed helplessly, seeming like she wanted to persuade him further but was interrupted by Nigel.
