Back in the Paradise Hotel, Juno sat on the executive chair in his office and murmured, "Nathan Cross had insulted me. Nonetheless, he still dares to stay in my hotel. What does he really want?"
Suddenly, the lobby manager, Lily Gibbs, knocked upon the door hastily and informed him, "Boss, this doesn't look too good."
Juno reprimanded her, "Why are you panicking? What's wrong?”
Lily explained anxiously, "Nathan Cross's henchmen had brought someone back to see him."
Evidently, Juno was displeased, as he asked while staring at her, with his eyes wide open, "What? Who is it?”
Lily replied softly, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be Mr. Harrison, the Scavenger, our guest who always comes to our hotel. He is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce of the West."
What? Nathan's henchmen had brought
Harrison back?
After Juno settled his nerves, he immediately instructed his men to display every security footage available, in the hotel.
In one of the monitors, he saw that Colin and the Elite Eight had arrived at the presidential suite, with a disheveled-looking man in tow.
Since there were no security cameras in the presidential suite, Juno and his men watched, until they brought Harrison into the suite, shutting the door.
Meanwhile, Juno was stunned for a moment before he exclaimed, "My goodness! Harrison is one of the more prominent figures in Johnstone City, respected by both the police and the Underground. He works directly for the top bosses in the Chamber of Commerce of the West. However, Nathan must be powerful, since he was able to bring him here, that easily! But I don't really get it. What does Nathan Cross want, by bringing Harrison here?”
Nevertheless, none of his underlings could answer his question.
Juno began to feel a sense of bad omen and regretted his decision, in allowing Nathan to stay. Nathan Cross is a ticking bomb in my hotel!
