After discovering Nathan's identity, Weston could already guess the purpose of his visit.
When he heard that, his heart instantly sank like a rock.
Since the General already knows about my relationship with Armageddon, he'll definitely have a way to pry information out of me no matter how hard I try to resist.As Mr. Tucker's disciple, I've benefited immensely from him. If I fail to keep that confidential information safe, I'll drag my benefactor down.
At that thought, he suddenly whipped his gun out.
However, it was at that moment that he heard the loud bang of a gunshot. A bullet hit his right arm, causing his gun to clatter onto the ground.
With the gun still aimed at him, Colin approached him and warily kicked his gun away.
Nathan remained seated on the chair calmly. He gazed at Weston, who had been shot earlier, and warned coldly, “Don't think of resisting or committing suicide. Without my permission, you don't even have the liberty to die.”
Weston's face turned completely pale. He bit his lips and remained silent.
Nathan continued, “Since I've already come personally, don't you plan on saying something?”
Clenching his jaw and clutching his right arm, Weston refused to utter a single word.
Met by his silence, Nathan said calmly, “Seems like you're determined to keep quiet. You aren't even afraid of death, but why are you so reluctant to confess? Who are you trying to
protect? Your benefactor?”
When he heard that, he quickly retorted, “This has nothing to do with Mr. Tucker. Stop trying to drag him down with it.”
Nathan asked calmly, “Then, who's involved? You're responsible for helping the Dark Lord's men enter Brimmopolis right from the very beginning. Don't tell me that you are oblivious to the fact that they're here to assassinate me.”
