Meanwhile, at the Lucas residence, he had just found out about the same meeting and assassination attempt.
However, he wasn't bothered by the assassin. Instead, he was more concerned about Nathan and the other military leaders meeting Garrett in secret as it made him feel uncomfortable.
At that moment, his son, Corey, gave him a surprised look. “Dad, Nathan's stand seems to be ambiguous. I am confused as to who he is supporting. Right after he publicly expressed his support for you, how can he go behind your back and meet with Mr. Woods?”
As Zion's expression darkened, he quipped, “Nathan has never expressed his support for me.
Corey was stunned. “When he was having dinner with us, didn't he just say...”
Zion interrupted, “He only said that he wouldn't support Clifford. But we were the ones who assumed that he was supporting me. From the way things are, he is neither supporting Clifford nor me. It seems he favors Garrett instead.”
Briefly stunned, Corey was outraged by what he heard.
He scowled, “F*ck! How dare Nathan play us for a fool!”
Zion sneered, “Didn't you do the same to him? I told you early on not to play games with him.”
“In fact, he might have found out that you were behind the attempts to stir up a feud between Ceaser and him, causing him to hold a grudge against us.”
