Nathan noticed the hatred in Sirius' eyes and calmly asked, “Your companion? Demigod? Sounds like you have quite a few companions!”
Sirius glared at Nathan resentfully. “Don't try to trick me with your words. If anything happens to me, my companions will find out about it soon. Death is coming for all of you!”
Nathan smiled and said, “All right. I'll wait. I just hope I won't have to wait too long.”
With that, Nathan said to Colin, “You do it yourself. Force him to talk. I'm off to the office for some tea while I wait for your news and the arrival of his companions.”
“Yes!” Colin said.
Ronan and the others accompanied Nathan as they left.
Colin and a few of his subordinates stayed behind.
They were tasked with interrogating this mysterious individual to uncover his origins.
Nathan arrived at the office, and Ronan ordered someone to make tea.
Right after Nathan took a sip of tea, Octo of the Elite Eight came in and said to Nathan in a low voice, “Mr. Cross, Hepburn and Lyanna are here.”
Nathan calmly said, “Let them in.”
Octo said, “Yes!”
After Octo left, Nathan's gaze fell on Ronan.
Ronan was initially taken aback, but he quickly realized something. Hence, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Cross, please have a seat. I have some work to attend to. If you need anything, have someone call me and I'll be right there.”
Nathan nodded. “Go ahead.”
After Ronan left, Nathan was the only one remaining in the office.
In a short while, there came a firm knock on the door. After receiving Nathan's permission, the person outside entered.
Octo led two mysterious women, cloaked entirely in black, into the room.
After the two mysterious women entered the room, they removed their cloaks, revealing their true appearances.
