Nathan had made his way back to his family's side while disguising his look because he wanted to keep his family safe.
He glanced at Faustus and the vicious-looking bunch, asking indifferently, “Are you going to abduct an innocent little girl and a helpless woman under broad daylight? Do you think you're able to get away unscathed?”
Faustus and his subordinates exchanged glances upon hearing Nathan's warning. Eventually, they burst into laughter because they found Nathan's warning hilarious.
He repeated Nathan's words with a scornful look, “Hey, do you have any idea of our actual identity? We're affiliated with the Goldstein family from Brimmopolis! Do you think you can get in our way?”
After pausing for a few seconds, he added,
Even if the Chief of Police is here, he has to be courteous and follow our instructions, let alone the mayor of Channing! We're the mandated ones! You better stay out of this unless you have a death wish! If you insist on poking your nose into our business, we'll have to take you out!”
Nathan's lips curved upward, forming a scowl as he begged to differ. “I'm sorry, but I will never allow any one of you to get away with this!”
Where the hell does this brat comes from?
Faustus was shocked by the presence of the arrogant yet ordinary-looking man in front of him. A murderous glint could be seen in his eyes as he dead-panned his instructions, “Let's take him out before dealing with the girls!”
“Yes!”
Two of Fautus' many subordinates sprinted over in Nathan's direction.
Bam! Bam!
As soon as they reached Nathan, the seemingly defenseless man launched two consecutive kicks on their chests, swiftly sending them away. Consequently, they knocked onto the multipurpose vehicle and fell to the ground, puking mouthfuls of blood.
Faustus' face puckered in shock because he felt endangered by Nathan's presence.
Meanwhile, Queenie and Kylie couldn't help but feel awestruck by the capability of the powerful man, who was capable of defeating the vicious bunch.
After Faustus snapped out of shock, he reached for the miniature blade he had with him and
summoned his subordinates. “Let's go, boys! We'll take him out together!”
Immediately after he finished yelling to boost his gang's morale, he dashed in the direction of Nathan, with his blade aiming for Nathan's chest.
Nathan reached over and grasped Fautus' wrist before slapping him with his other hand.
Queenie had her eyes glued to the man in front of them. She queried, “Uncle, you're as capable as my Papa! Are you an army like my Papa?”
Staring at his beloved daughter in the eyes, his pair of abysmal eyes gleamed intimately.
He replied with a smile, “E-Er... Actually, I'm a soldier affiliated with the North Army. I'm here on your father's instruction to protect you, your mother, and your aunt.”
“Really? Is there anything Papa wishes to tell
“The General wants you to behave yourself and finish your homework before you get to watch the television. Oh! He wants you to focus on your study as well.”
“Ha! You're indeed sent by Papa!” Queenie heaved a long sigh and replied petulantly when she heard Nathan's reply.
“Sir, are you serious? Have Nathan sent you to protect us? What's your name?” the cautious Kylie asked, interrupting the duo's conversation.
Nathan introduced himself, “My name is Bay. I'm a soldier affiliated with the North Army. The General has dispatched me to Channing to look after his family.”
Bay was an alias he thought of out of the blue to conceal his actual identity.
