Nathan understood that Zed wasn't late. The latter simply couldn't make the trip.
The Lancaster Family and Dash Parr joined forces to go after Cross Corporation, and Dash was Zed's boss. It was only natural that Zed didn't dare to go against his boss.
That was why Zed only showed up after Dash had left.
Nathan grinned and replied, “Actually, you're just in time. Clean up this mess.”
“Understood, general,” replied Zed.
He later got a few police cars to take Nathan home.
Brennan was leaving just as Nathan reached
home.
The former looked grim and was especially disheveled. It was almost as if he was the cock that had just lost the cockfight.
Penny and her family were still in shock. They hadn't recovered from Brennan's arrival and apology.
When Penny saw Nathan, she exclaimed, “Hubby, you're home. You'll never believe what happened. This dude actually did exactly what you said he would. He came to our place and got down on his knees to apologize!”
Nathan shifted his gaze to Brennan, whose face had reddened with fury but still didn't dare to utter a word. The former then grinned at Penny and asked, “Then have you forgiven him?”
Penny answered, “He has already gotten on his knees and apologize, so I don't want to push it either. I am letting him leave after warning him against coming after us again.”
Brennan peeked at Nathan before whispering, “Mr. Cross, I have done what you asked and have apologized. May I leave now?”
Nathan replied calmly, “You've made a terrible mistake, and merely apologizing won't do, especially when your actions had truly hurt Eurasia's feelings. I think you should compensate for that.”
It was bad enough that the Lancaster family became Ariarica's citizens, and it was dishonorable enough that they chose to strengthen their company in Ariarica.
However, they truly crossed the line when they forsake their Eurasia nationality, become Ariarica's citizen, and still had the audacity to return and brag after gaining power. The Lancaster family acted like they were superior and mocked Eurasia's culture and citizens. They even tried to steal Eurasia's important medical achievements.
