Just as Nathan stepped out of the restaurant, he happened to see Colin and Ava being simultaneously sent flying by the mysterious man.
Meanwhile, all the members of the Elite Eight were on the ground with their faces twisted in pain. Obviously, they were all injured.
Nathan was both shocked and angry.
Stretching out both hands, he caught Colin and Ava, who were flying toward him. “Are you guys okay?”
Colin and Ava both sustained some injuries. Fortunately, Nathan stepped in and caught them both, preventing them from getting hurt further.
At this moment, both of them were blushing with embarrassment.
“Mr. Cross, I'm fine!”
“Me too!”
The injured members of the Elite Eight on the ground also struggled to get up and gathered around Nathan while clutching their chests.
Nathan maintained a calm expression, but deep down, he was somewhat shocked.
As Nathan was sizing up Sirius, the latter was also sizing up Nathan.
Nathan calmly asked, “Young man, who are you? State your purpose.”
Nathan was already in his thirties, while the mysterious mixed-race man in front of him appeared to be just over twenty.
Based on his age and status, Nathan had the right to call this guy in front of him a young man.
Colin acknowledged it instantly.
In a hushed command, he ordered Ava and the Elite Eight to step back and seal off the surroundings. No outsiders or onlookers were allowed to approach or peek.
Sirius looked at Nathan and sneered, “Ha! You? You don't have what it takes. Nathan, did you really think you could do whatever you wanted after becoming the leader of vampires? In our eyes, you are a weakling! If you obediently follow our commands, we will secretly assist you in leading the vampires to flourish on Earth. If you refuse to cooperate with us, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to eliminate you and select a more obedient vampire to be the leader.”
What? Nathan was shocked when he heard that.
Nathan's heart was thumping wildly, yet his face remained as calm as ever. “What exactly are you?”
In response, Sirius tilted his head and declared, “I am a Demigod! You don't need to know the rest. Just act according to the will of us Demigods. We'll tell you how to develop the vampires. You should do as we say. If you cooperate, you'll live. Otherwise, you'll die.”
Nathan nodded gradually. “I see. You've piqued my interest. It seems the only way to learn more is to arrest you and interrogate you.”
