Raida did not expect Nathan to be this skilled.
“You stay where you are,” he yelled in panic.
“Don't come any closer. If you lay a finger on me, I promise you'll regret it.”
The Khaiden family carries a lot of influence in the West.
Wherever he went within the West, he was always met favorably by people from all walks of life, regardless of rank and social status.
But at this moment, Raida was under duress. He intended to intimidate the approaching Nathan with his family's power to save himself.
“I really have no idea who you are,” Nathan smiled. “But it makes no matter to me. You are worth nothing in my eyes.”
Worth nothing?Good God!He's insanelWho does he think he is?
Raida's knees shook when he saw how close Nathan got. He knew instinctively that he was about to receive a severe beating.
Close to losing his wits, he was about to blurt out the truth about his family as a last measure of desperation.
Before the words were out of his mouth, Sophia came to his rescue. “Nathan Cross,” she called out. “Don't you dare touch him. Do you think you can do whatever you want with no consequences? Do you know who this man before you is?”
“You're about to assault the Chief Military Governor of Eurasia, Raida Khaiden!”
Nathan was speechless with surprise.
Chief Military Governor?Who told her that?That is ridiculous!
Sophia caught sight of Nathan's startled expression and mistook it for fear.
“Aha!” Sophia chortled with laughter. “You did not expect that, didn't you? The Chief Military Governor in the flesh! The leader and commander of the entire military fleet in the country!”
