After the Lanes left, Penny heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she looked at Nathan worriedly and asked softly, "Nathan, although we have forgiven the Lanes, will the military leaders release Xander and the others if you tell them to?"
Nathan said with a smile, "I have a good relationship with Kenny, the mayor of Cledondale. There shouldn't be any problems."
The next afternoon, Darius, the commander-in-chief of the Cledondale military zone, released Xander, Liam and the other men.
Xander and the rest knew that by offending the General, they had put themselves into deep trouble. With the other Lanes trying to escape their demise, no one would care about their survival.
However, what surprised them was that they were released so quickly.
Xander asked Darius anxiously, "What's happening, Commander Darius? Who spoke in the Lane Family's favor?"
Darius said coldly, "Your granddaughter knelt at the hotel where the General stayed, refusing to get up. The General's wife is very kind and persuaded him to spare your family. As he dotes on his wife, he spared all of you. However, he said that you must not reveal his identity. You should also turn over a new leaf in the future.”
They nodded obediently, feeling extremely grateful toward Penny. Recalling what the Lane family had done in the past, they felt extremely guilty.
In the study room of the Cross family's villa.
Helen wore a tailored, high-slitted and sexy cheongsam. She was talking to a middle-aged and dignified man with a moustache.
This man, who was dressed luxuriously while exuding a domineering aura, was none other than Werner Lupin, a member of Northania's royal Lupin family.
The Lupins were part of royalty for a thousand years. Compared to other wealthy families who only had a hundred-year legacy, they were a few times more powerful.
Werner was an influential figure in the Lupin family. In Northania, he was someone extremely influential.
