Nathan, Colin and the Elite Eight were heading towards the parking lot. As Nathan came to a stop in front of his BMW, he instructed Colin, "Find out which department those men were from and have a talk with their superior. It's better to inform them in advance so things won't escalate."
"Yes sir!" Colin responded sharply.
Getting in his car, Nathan left for home.
When he arrived back home, everyone in the house was already asleep.
After taking a shower, he brewed a cup of tea for himself intending to sober up a little before he went to sleep.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans. He did not even get a chance to finish his cup of tea when he received a call from Jack.
As it turned out, after Nathan, Colin, and the Elite Eight left, a man named Caleb Lowe arrived with a whole squad of reserve fighters. Thomas and his men had all been beaten half dead by them.
After that, Thomas was taken away by Caleb at gunpoint.
The only reason Jack had escaped their attack was because he had gone to the washroom before they arrived.
The poor man sounded like he had been crying as he choked up, "Sir, Thomas was taken away by the Armed Forces. He could be dead by now! What do we do?"
Nathan had not expected these people would be so brazen. The speed at which they came for revenge was quite shocking too.
"Calm down. I will go over now to pick you up, then we'll go and save Thomas together."
After ending the call, he picked up his car keys and left the house for the second time.
Soon, he had collected Jack and was heading straight for the Armed Forces HQ. He made a call to Colin on the way there.
A while later, the two of them finally arrived at the Armed Forces HQ.
There were two sentries standing guard by the gates. Upon spotting Nathan and Jack, one of the sentries shouted, "Who are you? Why are you here?”
