Nathan and Penny brought Frida and came to the main hall of Cross Group.
A group of fearsome men had gathered there. The leader was a muscular bloke with a red face. He had thick lips and looked so ugly it was horrifying.
It was none other than Tyler Haden, one of Gehenna's Princes of Hell.
At Tyler's feet lay a few severely injured security guards of the company. More security guards huddled to the side in fear and dared not approach the group.
Tyler narrowed his slanted eyes and spoke coolly, "Tell Nathan Cross and Penny Smith to come out at once. Otherwise, I'll destroy Cross Group right here and now!"
When all the security guards and employees of Cross Group saw Nathan and Penny, they breathed a collective sigh of relief and let them pass, shouting respectfully, "Mr. Cross, President Smith!"
Seeing the crowd acting this way, Tyler guessed that Nathan and Penny had
arrived.
He gazed at Nathan with a smirk, "You guys are finally here. I thought you'd hide in your shells like tortoises!"
Staring at Tyler, Nathan smiled and said, "You're not worthy of that!"
What?
When Tyler heard this, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.
Even in a large city like Brimmopolis, anyone who heard the name Tyler Haden who was one of Gehenna's Ten Princes of Hell would be shaking in their boots from fear.
How dared a nobody like Nathan Cross living in a small place like Channing look down upon him?
Such an ignorant man!
Tyler sneered, "You really don't know what's good for you, do you? You hurt our founder's brother, so now the founder of Gehenna, Orcus, wants to see you. Do you and your wife want to follow me obediently, or do you want me to take you there by force?"
Gehenna!
Orcus!
Tyler's words caused some who knew about Gehenna to tremble like a leaf.
Even Frida who was standing beside Penny couldn't help but look distressed.
Only now did she realize that this job that the military leader had arranged for her to take was truly a nightmarish one!
