Nathan looked towards Fletcher and his companions.
When the three of them made eye contact with Nathan, they felt their hearts tightened as if a bullet had pierced through it.
Thump!
Thump! Thump!
As their knees buckled, they dropped to the ground one by one, trembling and drenched in sweat.
Looking at Fletcher and his companions, Nathan sneered, "You guys have done it. Not only did you kill my father, but you also seized my family's businesses and assets."
"When you couldn't kill me with your own capabilities, you even asked the General Ziegler to execute me."
Fletcher and his companions trembled as they sprawled on the floor. None of them managed to speak a word.
Nathan ordered coldly, "Raise your heads and answer me."
As Fletcher lifted his head, his face was covered with tears of fear. In a trembling voice, he answered, "General, we're sorry!"
Nathan sneered at them, "Weren't you very arrogant before this, thinking that you can act on impulse? Why is it that you only realize your mistake now?”
Mark explained in tears, "General, we didn't know Zayn was your father. Or else, we wouldn't have dared to target the Cross family."
Jeremiah too was in tears. "That's right. If we knew you were the General of the North, we definitely would have stayed away."
Nathan's gaze sharpened when he heard their response. As his anger swelled, his voice became colder. "Haha, do you mean that if I wasn't a general, it would then be alright for you to assassinate my father and send someone to kill me too?"
"If I were an ordinary citizen, my father would have died in vain while my family's assets would be seized just like that. In fact, I would even be dead."
"What did the civilians do wrong to deserve your unscrupulous bullying?"
Unable to respond, Fletcher and his companions kowtowed repeatedly to beg for forgiveness.
However, there was nothing that could change Nathan's mind now. He ordered, "Men, arrest and execute them!”
"Yes, sir!"
