In the meantime, Thomas and Jack had shown up together with a bunch of subordinates.
Thomas stared at Quintus and said in a low voice, "Our Master is asking you to leave!”
With a smile, Quintus said to Nathan and Penny, "Okay. I shall not disturb you any longer, but I'll wait for you downstairs. See you later."
He then walked away with his subordinates.
Although Quintus had temporarily left them alone, Penny, Benson and Leah were overwhelmed with anxiety. They could tell that Quintus was a man of an extraordinary background.
Quintus was clearly hinting that he would be waiting for them downstairs. It was apparent that he was not going to let them off the hook.
What should we do now?
Nathan comforted them in a calm voice, "Don't worry, I'll take care of that joker."
Once they were done with dinner, Nathan instructed Thomas to bring Penny and her family away using a private elevator while he entered the restaurant's elevator and headed to the car park.
Standing beside a few luxury cars were Quintus and his subordinates. They had all been waiting for a long while.
Quintus was surprised to see Nathan come alone. "Where's Ms. Smith?"
Nathan answered frigidly, "My wife has gone home, but I'm here. Let's have some fun!"
Quintus was stunned when he heard that Penny had left. An evil smile appeared on his face. "That's good. Since she's not here, I'll settle an account with you right now."
"Oh?" Nathan responded indifferently.
Quintus said ferociously, "You broke my subordinate Harry's legs and neutered him! I'll be sure to give you a taste of your own medicine today!"
"Get him!"
Instantly, Quintus'subordinates glared menacingly at Nathan. Just as they were about to strike Nathan, they heard a loud cry of rage. "Stop right there!"
