Nathan drove home with his family as well.
On the way, Queenie looked at Nathan in awe. "Papa, you are amazing!"
Penny and Leah looked at Nathan with smiles as well. Since he had been around, they had never been bullied again.
When they reached home, Leah began cooking some dishes.
Nathan asked Colin to stay for dinner, which caught the latter by surprise.
After dinner.
Penny was giving her daughter a bath, Benson left for a game of chess, and Leah was doing the dishes in the kitchen.
Nathan spoke to Colin in the living room and began to ask about William.
Colin immediately said, "William was caught together with Adam of the Black clan. Adam has since been released upon your orders, while William has just been sent to us here at Channing from
Johnstone City. He is currently locked up at the Channing Military Prison."
The Channing Military Prison was called Mid Channing; it was not a large facility.
There was barely a dozen staff, including prison officers and guards.
Because an ordinary city like Channing had no need for facilities to cater to military criminals, this tiny military jail had long been left empty. Now, William had become the only inmate.
When Nathan heard that William was now locked up in Mid Channing, he nodded and said, “Very good!”
Colin hesitated and could not help but whisper, "Master, William's father Cicero is the king of Eagleland, and he is also the president of The Omniscience. Together with Eagleland's ambassador, he has been lodging protests about William's arrest, and they have been requesting for his release...”
Nathan sniggered, "Cicero is a traitor. He has stirred up The Omniscience just to fight against our nation. I am currently conducting a thorough investigation of The Omniscience. Apart from getting rid of those traitors, I am also looking at removing Cicero. Now that his son has been arrested, he can forget about having him released. Keep him in there."
To that, Colin replied softly, "But if we don't release William, Cicero will definitely utilize the power and influence of The Omniscience to save William. This could be very disadvantageous to you, Master..."
Nathan laughed, "Isn't this opportune, then?"
Colin was taken aback slightly but soon understood what Nathan meant.
Nathan wanted to use William as bait to lure out members of The Omniscience, and use that perfect opportunity to capture all the rebels at one go.
