NovelEnglishChapter 685 Nathaniel was still in bed when he heard a loud knock and his room door flung open. He got up while yawning and went to get a cup of coffee. His hair was in a mess, looking tired. He started sleepily, “ What do you need to tell me? What's so important that you had to invite yourself here? Can't we just talk at the office?” Arianna kicked something beside her aside and looked at Nathaniel's place disapprovingly. “Can't you clean this place up? Better yet, can't you employ someone to do it for you?! Look at this mess!” “Who would cand clean up? Besides, I'm living here alone, and | don't have to take care of anyone nor need anyone's help.” Nathaniel lay on the sofa and placed his legs on his coffee table while sipping his coffee. “Feel free to make yourself at home.” Arianna’s brows furrowed as she looked around the room. She spotted a bar stool and sat on it, “Have you heard? Henry got caught and is being held somewhere.” “I knew it.” Nathaniel pointed at Arianna with his index finger and replied nonchalantly, “Calm down. Don't worry about it.” “You're quite calm, aren't you? | wondered who the person was who assuredthat everything would work according to plan.” Arianna sounded calm, but she was annoyed with him. They had done everything to support Henry Lodge and ensure he could secure the head of the family position. They wanted to drag Lily down while at it as well. Unfortunately, nothing went as planned, and they ended up failing.

“There’s no such thing as a foolproof plan,” Nathaniel drawled. He continued, “I received information that no one else knows at the Lodge family’s residence the other day. The people Henry brought with him also disappeared. Don't you find this strange?” “No, | don’t! I only want results! Results! Nathaniel, where's the result you promised?” Arianna yelled and extended her hand toward him, “Now what?" “Yes, results are important, but you can't say the process wasn't either.” Nathaniel lowered his legs from the table and sat up. He set his coffee cup on the table, took out a pack of cigarettes, and started smoking. “I'm still waiting for my informant. | want to know what happened the other day and where Henry disappeared to. I'm interested in what happened to the people Henry brought. They were all trained in kickboxing! ” “Does this mean there's another skilled kickboxer in the Lodge family that we don't know of?” Arianna said out loud while she thought about the possibilities.
Nathaniel remained silent. He was also trying to figure out how to explain this. At first, Nathaniel had wondered if Lily was responsible for this, but this possibility was very low. Nathaniel did not know that Henry had hired the infamous Light-Shadow Killers.
However, Henry dared to return to the Lodge family residence, even though he no longer knew kickboxing. It meant the people he hired could deal with the Lodge family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHenry knew who he was dealing with since he used to be one of them. Aside from the Lodge family apprentices, every member of the Lodge family had more or less a kickboxing background. Henry would not have risked it if he had no confidence in his hired help.
However, he failed to take back his position. It could only mean that a hidden member of the Lodge family was highly skilled in kickboxing.
Who could it be? Could it be Justin? “Enough of the speculation. We're not even planning to fight. Since Henry has failed, which disrupted our plan, everything might go down the drain,” Arianna commented in annoyance.
