Inside the house was Quintin's office. It was exquisitely decorated, and every single piece of furniture was made of premium rosewood.
Whether it was the calligraphy items on the table, or the vases decorating the house, they were all antiques. It was obvious that Quintin was someone who loved to collect antiques.
As for Quintin himself, he was currently sitting on the seat behind the desk. Standing to each of his sides was an elderly man; one was dressed in a white robe, while the other was dressed in a black robe.
The two elderly men were Quintin's most capable marquis. They were also infamous cold-blooded killers who committed countless heinous crimes back when they were in Eurasia.
The two had a nickname, and they were known as the “Chaotic Duo.”
Thinking that the world was their playground and that they had nothing to fear, the two got their nickname, for every place they went, chaos would follow.
From the moment Nathan stepped in, Quintin and the Chaotic Duo kept their gazes trained on him. At the same time, Nathan was giving Quintin a once-over as well.
Hmm... Quintin is quite different from the usual image I expect from a company's chairman. For starters, the guy lacks a certain suave temperament of an average chairman. He's burly, bald, and has no eyebrows. With his fleshy face, he looks rather vicious. Instead of a suit, he's dressed in Eurasia's traditional garb. But no matter what he wore, nothing could hide the vile aura coming off him.
Quintin looked at Nathan with interest. “So, you're Ambassador Knight's friend, and the true owner of the imperial jade seal, huh? I reckoned you're also the one who hired Robin Security to escort the jade seal back to Eurasia, am I right?”
Although Nathan was the guest, he was acting like the owner of the house instead. He pulled out a chair casually and sat down elegantly before whipping out a cigarette. With a smile on his face, he asked, “Since you know I'm the true owner of the jade seal, you must know who I am, right?
Quintin scrutinized Nathan for a moment and chuckled. “I'm sorry, but I have no idea who you are. Although my company has businesses all over the world, and I know countless powerful people, your face doesn't ring a bell.”
Because Nathan had just assumed the post of Eurasia's president and the fact that all his information had been kept confidential back when he was still in the military, not many Eurasians knew who Nathan was, let alone a Eurasian who had become a citizen of another country.
As such, Nathan was not surprised to hear that Quintin had no idea who he was.
