Accompanied by a group of followers, Wolfric hurriedly arrived at Nathan's residence.
As they reached the entrance of Riverside Garden, they were intercepted by Colin and a large number of guards.
Colin asked coldly, "What brings you here?"
Wolfric, eager to see Nathan, responded in annoyance, "I'm here to see Nathan. Don't get in my way. Leave!"
This statement thoroughly angered Colin.
He said with a stern expression, "I apologize. Mr. Cross mentioned that he's been feeling tired lately. He wants to spend quality time with his family and doesn't wish to meet unauthorized individuals."
Slap!
Wolfric raised his hand and slapped Colin hard, causing blood to trickle from Colin's mouth.
Wolfric angrily said, "Unauthorized individual? Am I considered unauthorized? I am the War God of Ariarica! I am the acting commander of the Earth Alliance! It's one thing for Nathan to disrespect me regularly, but who are you to dare shout at me? If you don't move aside, I'll kill you."
The large group of super-soldiers behind Wolfric stepped forward, gripping their weapons tightly.
Colin's eyes widened in defiance. "Ha, it's not your place to act arrogantly here. If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me!"
The large group of guards behind Colin also stepped forward, facing Wolfric's group head-on.
Wolfric hadn't expected Colin to be so bold, daring to confront him directly.
At this moment, both sides stood in a tense confrontation.
Seeing Colin's defiant look, Wolfric realized that if he didn't take action against Colin, others might think he was afraid of Colin.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Fueled by anger, he grimly said, "Do you really think I won't dare to take action against you? Since you seek death, I'll grant your wish!"
After saying this, he raised his hand, ready to strike Colin.
Wolfric was seething with anger inside!
He wanted to turn and leave right now.
However, several unidentified alien spaceships were on standby, ready to launch a second wave of attack on Earth at any moment.
If these ships broke through the defense systems and entered Earth, the damage could be catastrophic!
Nathan was the only one capable of dealing with the alien spaceships.
If he couldn't successfully persuade Nathan to intervene, Wolfric wouldn't know how to explain himself to the other War Gods when he returned.
In desperation, he had to bow his head and weakly say, "Mr. Cross, I was wrong. I shouldn't have laid hands on your subordinate. Whatever you decide, I'll accept it! As long as you set the conditions, I'll comply!"
Nathan calmly responded, "In my teachings to my subordinates, I emphasize clear rewards and punishments. You slapped Colin, and now he will slap you back. Is that fair enough?"
