Chapter 55
Danielle walked to the gate and immediately spotted Nathan waiting by the car.
"Mrs. Charrington, Mr. Charrington is still busy, so he askedto pick you up," Nathan said respectfully.
It wasn’t just because Danielle was David's fiancée that Nathan treated her with such deference. Her reputation
as a master gunsmith, known simply as "Sphinx," was more than enough to earn his admiration. To him, she was
his idol.
"Alright," Danielle replied with a nod.
The two set off in silence, the car gliding smoothly through the dimly lit streets toward the city’s outskirts.
Danielle glanced out the window as the vehicle began ascending a secluded hillside road. She couldn’t help but
ask, "Nathan, where exactly are we going for dinner?"
"You'll know when we get there, Mrs. Charrington," Nathan responded cryptically.

The car entered a private property lined with tight security. Infrared beams intersected the premises, and guards
were stationed every 300 feet. It was hard to imagine what kind of life the property’s owner led to require such
extrprotection.
As they reached the gates, Danielle’s eyes were drawn to the bold characters on a plaque: Nathor Palace. If she
hadn't figured out that this was David's private residence, her various monikers would have been undeserved.
But she had no idea why he had brought her to his home.
"Mrs. Charrington, we've arrived. You can head inside now." Nathan opened the car door with a brisk motion and
stood upright.
Danielle nodded and stepped out. Just as she was about to enter the house, a large white wolf darted out of the
bushes. Its fur was as white as snow, and its eyes were pale. The creature was over 6 feet long, with a massive
head and a lean, graceful body.
Danielle immediately recognized it as a tundra wolf. "Why does he keep such a ferocious animal at home?’ she
wondered.
Tundra wolves were highly adaptable creatures with incredible survival instincts, known for their cunning and
savagery. Predators by nature, the wolves attacked in coordinated packs, employing brutal and precise methods.
Their sharp teeth and stealthy ambush tactics made them formidable hunters.
Nathan broke into a cold sweat. The tundra wolf was notoriously aggressive, obeying only David. Among the
household staff, the wolf roamed freely, feared by everyone-including Nathan.
