At The Groove, Ceaser was having drinks with a group of friends and his subordinates; they were accompanied by quite a number of hostesses.
At this moment, Faustus, Leaser s lackey, rushed in and said excitedly, “Good news, Mr.
Goldstein!”
Leaser squinted and asked with a smile, “What good news?”
“Things have worked out as you planned, Mr. Goldstein. Nathan has been transferred back to the North,” Faustus replied with an ingratiating smile. “I just sent someone to check. Nathan will take a private flight to the North whereas Penny will take a commercial flight back to Channing. We can get Penny during the flight as planned.”
Leaser grinned in satisfaction. “Very well! Have
you found the men to do the job?” “Yes, everything's been arranged,” Faustus replied fawningly. “I've bought Willow and his men tickets for the same flight as Penny, and have told them to do it on the plane.”
“Good job.”
At this moment, Penny and Kylie were in the waiting room of the airport in Brimmopolis, preparing to board their plane.
Meanwhile, Nathan arrived at the Guardian Special Forces military base in Brimmopolis with Colin and the Elite Eight. Will and other soldiers had come to see him off and he was ready to board a private plane to the North.
Will gave a wry smile. “I wonder what's inside the heads of those Xyperians. Their best fighters were defeated by you not long ago, but instead of running away, they are actually preparing to invade our borders. Are they sick of living?”
