Penny's expression fell while Frida grimaced.
Her fight with Tyler earlier had shown her that she was no match for the Ten Princes of Hell. She had not even been able to handle him alone, yet here were two of them, each of them of higher rank than Tyler.
Frida had no idea how they were going to get out of this alive.
Just then, Nathan uttered in a hard tone, "Gehenna again? You guys really are like cockroaches."
He handed the car keys to Frida, instructing, "Frida, drive Penny home first. I can handle things here."
Frida's eyes widened as she stared at him in shock. She questioned, "You want us to leave you behind alone? Can you handle it?"
"Just go!" he replied calmly.
Penny spoke up worriedly, "Nathan..."
He smiled at her and stated, "It's okay. You guys can go first. I'll be back after I'm done dealing with them. Don't you trust me, Honey?”
This was not the first time Penny had seen her husband in action. Indeed, he was quite strong as he had been serving in the army for so many years. His combat skills had to be of a certain level to have survived for so long.
Finally, she nodded. "Alright then. Frida and I shall wait for you at the parking lot."
"Okay!"
With that, Frida ushered Penny away.
Garza and Teneb moved to stop them but Nathan's bulky figure stepped in their way.
His lips were upturned in a smirk as he said, "I already told Tyler just now to warn your organization not to come looking for trouble again. Not only did you not listen, but you became even more aggravating. Well, why are you leaving when you only just got here?"
Garza and Teneb exchanged furious expressions.
A wicked smile pulled the scars on Garza's face, lending him an even more menacing look. "Hey punk, Master Orcus has orders for us to bring your dead body back if you didn't know any better. Now, die!"
The words had barely left his lips when he dashed toward Nathan, his speed turning him into a blur.
The rest of his men could feel their blood rushing through their veins in excitement as they cheered him on.
