After dealing with Lupin, Nathan turned to Penny and Frida. "Are you girls alright?”
Frida was a little embarrassed because she lost the fight against Lupin, but she said, "I'm fine.”
Penny added, "I'm fine, too. I don't know what we did to have offended the Jordans from Brimmopolis, though. Hubby, you killed one of their subordinates. Will we be okay?"
"It's fine. Let's have lunch together,” replied Nathan with a smile across his face.
Nathan and Penny brought Colin and Frida along for lunch. They drove to the Red Sparrow Hotel and went to the restaurant on the second floor.
The married couple sat and placed their orders while Colin and Frida sat some distance away so they wouldn't disrupt their date.
It just so happened that Gary, Hagrid Potter, and the others were having the party on the eighth floor at the same hotel.
At that moment.
Gary was yelling at his subordinates. "What did you say? You didn't take Penny Smith to me and Nathan Cross killed Lupin?"
The subordinates were under a lot of pressure because Gary, Hagrid, and a bunch of other spoiled heirs were staring.
The men who had fled from Nathan had their heads down as they replied softly, "Yes, sir. Nathan killed Lupin and asked us to deliver a message for you."
Gary looked furious. "What is the message?"
One subordinate had his head down, and his voice was trembling when he answered, "Nathan said that you have infuriated him, so you are dead."
Gary's eyes burned with fury. He grabbed his wine glass and downed his drink before smashing it onto the floor. The shards flew everywhere.
He growled, "He wants to kill me? Hah! I will murder him before that!"
