Joanna was dumbfounded as well. She gazed at Pirk and Max, who were kneeling outside the neighborhood. There was a large group of followers from the Artoria Family and the Lance Family surrounding them too.
She could not help but ask, "What's going on?"
Similarly shocked, Ingram said, "Yeah! What's going on with Max and Pirk? They brought so many men to Channing. Destroying Nathan should've been a piece of cake! Why are they kneeling at Nathan's neighborhood instead of seeking revenge on him?"
Joanna was perplexed as well.
By killing Dexter and the others, she and Ingram had planned to use the Artoria and the Lance family to kill Nathan for them.
She had not expected Max and Pirk to be so useless!
After a moment, she said slowly, "Looks like I'll have to act personally. It's too unreliable to depend on someone else to kill Nathan."
When Ingram heard her, he assured her instantly, "Don't worry, your highness. I'll definitely help you kill Nathan and avenge your father and brothers."
The corners of Joann's lips lifted into a smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Ziegler. You won't help me if you get nothing in return. I'll let you succeed in your career and love!"
A look of anticipation instantly appeared on Ingram's face.
Although he was born to one of the wealthiest families in the nation, his status in the family was not very high. In fact, he was often surrounded by siblings who were much more capable than him. If he did not improve himself, it would be difficult for him to succeed in life.
However, this woman in front of him was the Princess of Eagleland!
Not only was she beautiful and had a slender figure, but she also possessed limitless wealth and an extremely high social status. If he could marry her, he would probably reach the peak of his career.
Joanna's car left as fast as it had arrived.
On the other hand, Max and Pirk continued kneeling outside the neighborhood with their heads drooping.
Luckily, their eight thousand followers had sealed the streets surrounding the neighborhood.
Residents who lived nearby would not be able to pass by them. Even the residents who lived there did not dare to stay for long.
Hence, Max and Pirk were not surrounded by a large crowd of passers-by. This made them feel less humiliated.
Both of them knelt from noon to the middle of the night.
