Chapter 319: You’ll Be Dead
"That... could’ve gone better..."
Nathan sighed as he put down his phone. His attempts at sidelining Raine for her own safety had backfired miserably, putting him on her bad side for the time being while also being away from her at the same time.
It was one of the few times where he actually wanted to just drop everything and leave so that he could apologize, but he obviously couldn’t. Doing so while they were this close to nailing Danos dead to rights would be patently stupid, not to mention that Raine would also just get even more mad at him for dropping important matters just to be selfish.
"The things I do for this woman..."
Letting out a sigh, Nathan pocketed his phone in favor of focusing his efforts back on the actual task he had to do. While he had everything that he needed to be a first-hand witness, his testimony would be useless unless he revealed the existence of the Voyager’s Watch, and that was something he really didn’t want to do. On top of it being so fantastical that it would be laughable, its power would undoubtedly make him a target for potential idiots wanting the watch for themselves.
"I take it things didn’t go well with the lady wife?"
Nathan shook his head at Davin’s cheeky quip. Truly, him having a wife only seemed to have intensified his nephew’s teasing. Well, he was normally like this already, but his words stung even harder knowing that it was true.
"Enough about that," Nathan sighed. "What’s the progress on digging up Danos’s dirt?"
"Well enough," Davin reported, his tone taking on a more serious sound. "While he’s done well in trying to hide everything under the rug, your anecdotes had proven more than helpful to point us in the right direction."
