What?
Everyone was taken aback.
Nathan actually had the guts to ask Gregory to kneel down and drink it!
Rage filled Gregory's eyes, and his face flushed an ugly red.
This is preposterous!
What an insolent brat!
Bang!
Gregory slammed his hand on the table as he bellowed, "Nathan, how dare you talk to me this way when you're just a nobody in the Cross Clan! I will punish you in accordance with the rules of the clan!"
However, Nathan wasn't enraged. He looked at Gregory and his men as he replied calmly, "I think you're mistaken. I'm from the Cross family, not the Cross Clan. We have not been affiliated with your clan for over a few decades. I will welcome you wholeheartedly if you're here to rekindle our old ties, but if you're here to cause trouble just because you think we're easy targets, then you've come to the wrong place."
Infuriated by his words, Gregory commanded, "This is outrageous! How dare a lowlife from the Cross family treat me this way! Someone break his legs for me! You're done for today. Not even the mayor of Channing can save you!”
Upon hearing Gregory's command, a few burly men behind him stepped forward to execute his orders.
However, at that precise moment, Colin stepped into the room with the Elite Eight.
Colin barked furiously, "How dare you act this high and mighty in front of our Master! Sit backdown!"
A few members from the Elite Eight stepped forward immediately and subdued Gregory's men, who were about to execute his orders.
Thump!
Thump! Thump!
In no time, the muscular bodyguards were forced back to their seats as they were no match for the Elite Eight.
Colin placed one hand on Gregory's shoulder and commanded in a deep voice, "You should sit down too!"
Gregory winced in pain when he felt an overwhelming force exerted by Colin's hand and was forced back into his chair.
After that, Nathan instructed Jenny to serve the tea.
In no time, several cups of tea were placed in front of Gregory and his men.
