Finally, Nathan and John made their way into the luxurious suite next door. Actually, that was a suite solely reserved for Thomas.
Hence, it was a well-decorated suite with a great soundproof system in place.
Even if there was a hectic battle going on outside, those who were dining inside the suite wouldn't hear the commotion at all with the excellent soundproof system.
Therefore, Penny, Emmanuel, Leah, and Kylie had no idea an intense fight had taken place in the suite next door at all.
Since John and Nathan returned to the suite unscathed, they felt a sense of relief.
Penny served Nathan a bowl of rice and asked curiously, "Nathan, have those who tried to pick on us departed?"
In return, Nathan replied with a smile, "Yes!"
Benson was really curious so he asked, "They seem like a bunch of delinquents.
Nathan, how did you manage to persuade them to leave?"
Immediately, Nathan pointed at John and asserted with a smile, "Thankfully, Mr. Culkin was by my side. You have no idea how influential he is in the East. He reached out to one of his friends from the East and managed to intimidate those who tried to pick on us. In the end, they fled because they had no guts to defy Mr. Caulkin.”
The moment they heard Nathan's words, they turned around and looked at John in adoration as they were surprised. "I see Mr. Caulkin was the one who chased them away? Thank you so much for that!"
Usually, John would get full of himself whenever he heard such flattering words.
However, he felt embarrassed now because he couldn't possibly expose Nathan's lie in front of others. Hence, he had to play along with Nathan and asserted to everyone, "It's fine. I was just trying to help out."
Nonetheless, Kylie looked at John with an odd expression on her face before she turned around and took a glance at Nathan who had a smile on his face all along.
Deep down, she snorted at John and thought to herself.
The bunch of delinquents from the East showed up with such strong murderous intent. John was the one who got down on his knees just now.
If he's really as capable as Nathan says, why did he do that then? I'm certain that Nathan was the one who had chased them away. Nathan is such an exceptional man!
On the following day, in the study room of Dragon Palace, the Brown Family's mansion, at Horton in the East.
"What? My godson, Tyler, has been killed by Nathan? All his men suffered the same fate too!” The infuriated Tyson asked as he looked at Guilford, his butler with a hunchback, in front of him in disbelief.
The butler with a hunchback replied cautiously and chose his words wisely, "Yes, sir. It seems like we have underestimated Nathan."
Obviously, Tyson was shocked as he exclaimed, "This brat is but an outcast of the Cross Family. He disappeared for a decade. Everyone thought he was dead, but he showed up out of nowhere with all sorts of tricks up his sleeves."
