Only Nathan and a handful of people could truly understand the weight of these two documents. The foreigners would be unable to decipher its true meaning.
Various countries such as Ariarica, Ferropene, and Jetroina mistook the documents as a success because they managed to force Eurasia to punish Nathan. This punishment keep them satisfied.
However, they insisted on Eurasia executing Nathan. They thought that a three-year confiscation on his salary as a penalty was too light and wanted to increase the severity of Nathan's punishment.
This time, Eurasia did not yield to their demands and ignored their protests.
At the same time, the Camden Family had been busy gathering information about Nathan.
When the Camden Family received news that Nathan would lead the Dragon Warriors to represent Eurasia in the Joint Military Exercise of a Hundred Nations, they couldn't help but feel skeptical. Did Nathan regain his position in the Eurasian army?
However, they found out that Nathan had caused conflict with troops from other countries. He even killed Simone and Asher in the midst of the joint military exercise. The Camden Family felt that Nathan was purposely stirring up trouble with his reckless actions.
The Camden Family reckoned that he was doomed when they found out that Eurasia had publicly sentenced Nathan to a three-year confiscation on his salary as a penalty.
Bowen was afraid to make any sudden movements when Nathan attended the feast with the Dragon Warriors. When he caught wind of Nathan's punishment, he hurriedly summoned Federick - a competent staff member working for the Camden Family. They quickly discussed a plan to deal with Nathan and retrieve his daughter.
“Nathan has lost power in the army earlier. He is now the God of War without his fangs. Now, he has been publicly punished for killing the commander of Ariarica. He is utterly doomed now,” Federick said with a gleeful grin painted across his face.
“Nathan committed a serious offense when he killed the commander of Ariarica. Yet, Eurasia only gave him a three-year confiscation on his salary as a penalty. It is a light punishment in comparison to his actions. You said that Nathan is doomed; isn't it quite an exaggeration?”
Bowen asked skeptically.
“Don't forget that Nathan is a Eurasian; he is also part of the army. He has killed several high-ranking generals of our rival countries.
Undoubtedly, Eurasia will not penalize him severely as the public might disapprove of his punishment,” Federick chuckled in amusement, “Although his punishment is not severe, it was announced to the entire country. This is an act of public humiliation towards Nathan. If the high-ranking officials of Eurasia dared to humiliate him in such a grand gesture, it means that he is no longer of use to them.”
“Your explanation makes sense. It seems that Nathan's career is dying,” Bowen nodded in agreement.
“Sir, now that Nathan is powerless, we don't have to worry about him anymore. You can consider sending someone to Eurasia and bring
Ms. Camden home,” Federick advised.
“Yes, I'm sure Penny will acknowledge her family and return home. By creating an alliance between the Cross Group and Camden Group, we will be able to bring our power to new heights,” Bowen agreed with a laugh.
“In your opinion, who should we send to Eurasia to bring Penny back?” Bowen asked.
“We should send your third son. He has always handled any issues of the Camden consortium in Astoria,” Federick responded with a beam.
The third son of Bowen was none other than Clayton Camden.
