At that moment, Colin and Frida arrived.
Both of them yelled anxiously, "Boss, Ms. Smith, are you both alright?
Nathan replied, "There was an assassin but it's over now."
"Get the hotel to change our rooms."
"At once, sir!"
Immediately, the hotel moved Nathan and Penny to another suite.
After instructing Frida to protect Penny, Nathan and Colin went to the balcony.
Colin said, "General, I have informed the authorities in Japan about this and they will be investigating it."
Lighting up a cigarette and taking a puff, Nathan muttered, "Do you remember Ava?"
Colin was stunned when he heard the name. The next moment, his expression turned into one of anger as he replied, "I remember. She and I were both trained by you. She was the captain of your personal guards while I was the deputy."
"But she betrayed you by leaking intel to the enemy, causing you to be ambushed by the Coalition Army."
"Luckily, you were invincible and vanquished the enemy in the end."
"Ava that traitor! If I find out where she is, I will finish her!"
When Colin finished speaking, he suddenly realized something.
Staring at Nathan in surprise, he exclaimed, "General, why did you bring her up all of a sudden? Unless..."
Nathan nodded. "That's right. The assassin who infiltrated the hotel room was her."
What?
Colin was both shocked and furious.
Nathan replied calmly, "But when she realized her target is me, she seemed to also be surprised as if she didn't know at first."
Puzzled, Colin inquired, "General, what do you mean?"
Nathan continued, "I have the feeling that when she betrayed me three years ago, there was more to it than we know. Perhaps, she was in some kind of trouble of her own."
Colin questioned, "If that was the case, why did she disappear after the incident? Or why didn't she apologize to you just now?"
Nathan replied, "That's what confuses me too!"
"Since she has appeared here, we can follow her tracks."
"Use all our networks to find out where she is. I want her to personally explain to me what happened."
