Fletcher was infuriated and wanted to send someone to take revenge on Nathan.
However, the other two elders of the West Chamber of Commerce, Mark Zane and Jeremiah Donne advised him against it.
Mark was the first one to speak, "Mr.
Harvey, please calm down. If Nathan Cross really is coming for us, it must mean that he has the power to do so. We have to think about this in the long term."
Jeremiah Donne continued, "That's right. Nathan has challenged the West Chamber of Commerce in public."
"Both Harrison and Furies have met their demise at the hands of Nathan himself. It's fairly obvious that Nathan is stronger than we'd thought."
"That kid has already said that he wants us to commit suicide within three days and to return everything that we've taken from the Cross family. He also wants our families to retire before he's willing to let us go.” Fletcher stated angrily, "He's really riding on top of our heads. How are we supposed to tolerate this?"
Mark squinted his eyes and proclaimed, "Mr. Harvey, we're not tolerating him. We need to check out our opponent's strength before deciding what to do. As Sun Tzu once mentioned, ‘If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.'"
Jeremiah nodded in agreement, "That's right. This is called thinking before you act. We'll take Nathan Cross's life as soon as we decide to act."
As he listened to his companions, Fletcher also started to think that Nathan had something up his sleeve, so he became more cautious.
After all, these people were the ones who had been through hell and high water, just like him. They did not want to lose for the mere reason of being careless.
Fletcher furrowed his brows and asked, "Since we can't do anything about Nathan yet, do you guys have any suggestions?"
Mark pondered for a while before replying, "We need to find a suitable person to uncover Nathan's background. This person should preferably be someone who's connected to the Cross family of Northania."
