Chapter 1486: Weaken Prime Group
"I told you I’d reach out, didn’t I? It’s been a while, Nathaniel."
Nathaniel’s face shifted through a mix of expressions in a matter of seconds. For a moment, all he could do was stare at Penny with disbelief and bitterness.
This woman, after all, was the reason he was in this situation. And to top it off, she had kidnapped him — in the middle of the night, in the middle of his sleep!
"Miss Penny, didn’t you have a better way to reach out?" Nathaniel exhaled, clicking his tongue faintly. "Did you really have to drag me out like that? My heart has been in poor condition lately. That could’ve killed me."
"I did have other options," she replied with a sly smile, "but then again, where’s the fun in that?"
Nathaniel’s face soured, but then Atlas spoke.
Atlas chimed from his seat. "You were being watched. That’s why," he explained. "Penny had to time this perfectly so no one would know you’re here."
Deep lines creased Nathaniel’s forehead as he turned to Atlas with mixed emotions. What Atlas meant was that someone had bugged his hotel room—his every move had been monitored. And right now, those watchers still believed he was asleep in bed, not sitting in a luxurious room with three powerful figures.
"Get him a chair," Zoren said with a flick of his hand. At his command, Mark stepped forward from the shadows and placed a chair behind Nathaniel with a dull thud, making him flinch.
Nathaniel glanced back to find Mark’s icy gaze locked on him.
