Chapter 2115

The news of Nathan's dispute with the Davier family had spread across Brimmopolis and among the upper echelon of the society, there was even news of a showdown between them in Tarragon Mountain seven days later.

This news caused an uproar in the city.

Clifford had been a Cab member for many years and till then, he was still the Cab secretary.

The Davier family was currently the most prominent family among others in the upper echelon. Not only its authority and influence were intimidating, but the Davier family members and its followers were all over the world.

Other than Eurasia, even in the entire world, the

Davier family was considered a humongous family.

In contrast, Nathan who was the commander-in-chief of the North Army previously was known as the God of War. His influence was also great. Nevertheless, it was common knowledge that Nathan's position as the commander-in-chief of the North Army had already been removed by Clifford. For the time being, Nathan had lost actual powers and authority and was left with only a mere title.

Even though Nathan and his wife, Penny owned a pharmaceutical company that worth hundreds of billions in market value, wealth alone was not sufficient to contend with the Daviers.

Therefore, this news regarding the showdown between Nathan and the Davier family at Tarragon Mountain in seven days was unbelievable for many people who were wondering how Nathan could take on the Daviers.

Many of them bore the thought that Nathan would be doomed.

Even the stock market had been affected by this news.

The share price of Cross Group had slumped every day recently, causing Nathan and Penny to lose tens of billions every day in terms of the Group's market value.

It could be concluded that all sectors of the society, considering from every aspect, were not hopeful about Nathan's condition.

Since the news of the combat between the Davier family and Nathan spread, there was not a day that Clifford would appear free and idle. He had been leaving the residence early in the morning and coming home at late night almost every day, engaging himself in meetings with the tycoons from all sectors and trying to win support so that the Davier family could crush Nathan in a foolproof way.

Almost everyone was supportive and confident in Clifford and hence, till then, those siding the Davier family were naturally huge in number. For a while, the Daviers were gaining a momentous standing whereby, even though the showdown hadn't even started, the Daviers' prestige had already blown Nathan away.

Compared to Clifford who was busy visiting big shots and wooing allies, Nathan was relatively at ease and relaxed.

He even handed over his works at the

Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to Sage temporarily.

He was spending time with his wife and child every day and together with Penny and Kylie, they would bring Queenie out to play during their spare time.

They would go flowers-viewing, fishing, and whatnots. These days were so pleasurable and satisfying that it seemed Nathan had not even a wee bit of tension or worry about the upcoming showdown at all.

Instead, it was Penny who was particularly anxious.

After all, the share price of Cross Group had been plummeting every day and as the chairman of the Group, she knew the reason very well. Knowing that Nathan would be battling with the

Daviers soon, she was deeply concerned and losing sleep.

She had even discussed it with Nathan on the previous night. Since it was a blatant fact that even she and Nathan.combined were no match for the Davier family's supremacy, they could sell Cross Group and pay the Daviers with a large part of the revenue earned in exchange for their forgiveness. Then, they could utilize the

remaining earnings to go into hiding overseas.

To Penny, her husband and child were most important and dearest to her.

She would rather lose everything than see any harm befalling Nathan.

е

Therefore, she wanted to sell everything and made use of the huge financial benefits to ask for forgiveness from the Daviers. Then, they could replace a place where no one knew them, and their family could return to living a normal and peaceful life again.

However, her suggestion had been turned down by Nathan.

Comforting her very gently, Nathan assured her that nothing would happen to him. Also, he told her to believe in him and even asked if she had lost confidence in him.

Penny had no choice but to choose to believe in her husband.

Nevertheless, from her point of view, there was a marked disparity of power between her family and the Daviers. Therefore, she couldn't help but feel increasingly agitated and fear that she would lose Nathan.

At that moment.

She was sitting by the pond, watching Nathan fishing with their daughter.

As usual, Nathan was calm and composed. He never seemed to be afraid or worried. It felt to Penny as though even the most complicated problem in the world could be solved when it was brought before him.

Queenie squatted down beside Nathan and rested her chin on both her little palms, staring at the bobber floating on the pond with her big pretty eyes and waiting anxiously.

Swoosh!

As Nathan raised the fishing rod in his hands with a jolt, a koi fish of a few pounds scurried and soared from the pond.

Queenie couldn't hold her excitement anymore and clapped her hands cheerfully as she yelled in

joy, “Wow, Papa really caught a huge fish. Papa is brilliant!"
