Chapter 5
Nathan declined Hector’s invitation to stay overnight and returned to Almonube Estate.
As soon as he stopped the car, he felt someone was watching him.
Nathan frowned and said coldly, “Come out!”
Several men appeared around him, and each seemed like a cruel beast.
“Your relationship with Jade seems to be very unusual. Kneel right now, or we’ll break your limbs before we take you away.” A man said slowly with a cold and evil tone.
When Nathan heard Jade’s name, he felt annoyed and shook his head. “I have nothing to do with her. You better not mess with me.”
“You are just a prison guard, how dare you be arrogant in front of us! We are the four greatest fighters of Terror!” The man laughed and walked toward Nathan, then, he suddenly reached out to grab Nathan’s throat.
Nathan shook his head. This man was so weak that any prisoner in his prison would beat him up easily.
Nathan blocked the man’s fist and ignored his shocking expression. He struck them and brought all of them down in a heartbeat.
“I hate troubles!” Nathan shook his head and threw their bodies down the cliff.
***
A moment later, Jade tracked the bloodstain to the bottom of the cliff, where she saw four bodies that she could hardly recognize.
“They were Terror’s greatest fighters who troubled us a lot, and we haven’t been able to arrest them…”
When Jade saw the four corpses, she was deeply shocked. And she was even more shocked when she saw briefly that these four people were beaten to death and thrown down the cliff.
“Who would be this powerful to kill all of them? Their blood is still warm, which means they died not long ago. But I didn’t notice the fighting.”
Jade’s eyes were full of solemnity, because the man who killed them was stronger than her!
She looked at the top of Mountain Almonube thoughtfully and made a call. “Find the person who lives in Almonube Palace, and then send someone here to clean up the scene…”

Early the following day, Nathan received a call from Hector.
“Nathan, you and Natalie married too fast, and this relationship needs to be consolidated. She invited a few friends to a sports club today and will introduce them to you. Tell me your address, and I’ll ask her to pick you up!” Hector laughed.
“Okay,” Nathan smiled helplessly.
He couldn’t refuse Hector’s kindness, so he had to agree.
Soon, Hannah and Natalie came to pick up Nathan.
Hannah saw Nathan and looked at him from head to toe. She felt disdained.
He’s just a prison guard with a good figure. He’s not good-looking or influential, how can he be Natalie’s husband?
“My best friend, Hannah,” Natalie sat in the passenger seat and said coldly.
With a smile, Nathan stretched out his hand and said, “Hello!”
However, Hannah ignored him. “Hurry up and get in the car! Mr. Luke and the others are waiting for us!”
Hannah drove very fast, and it didn’t take long for them to arrive at a club called Runmile.
“Natalie, Hanna, you are finally here!” Several young men greeted them.
The man at the front was tall and handsome, he was Natalie’s admirer. His name was Luke Roberts.
Luke’s eyes turned cold when Nathan came out of the car.
“Who is this?” he asked.
“A nobody,” Hannah nodded to Luke.
Luke looked at Nathan and found nothing special about this man.
How could he dare to chase Natalie?
Natalie said, “Hanna always talks like this, don’t take it too seriously.”
Nathan glanced at her but was too lazy to speak.
“Since you’re here, no matter who you are, we’ll treat you as a friend,” Luke said indifferently.
He didn’t care about Nathan and thought he was just an ordinary, useless man who could do nothing without his wife’s wealthy family.
Luke smiled at Natalie. “Natalie, haven’t you always wanted to learn to fence? I won the third runner-up at the National Fencing Fans Conference, and I can teach you today.”
“By the way, I promised to help you take back the 20 million owed by Negino Commerce. I’m working on it, and I assume they’ll respond in the next two days.”
“Don’t worry. Although the Negino Commerce is rich and influential, I can still ask them to do me a favor.”
Natalie nodded with a hint of joy in her eyes. “Thank you, Mr. Luke!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
After entering the club and finding the venue, Luke asked another man who liked fencing to practice against him.
“D*mn it, who is that… Is that General Perkins?!”
“It’s really her! I didn’t expect to meet her here…”
“Who is she practicing archery with? Is that Negino Mendez, the president of the Negino Commerce?”
“Wow, Jade is a great idol who is good at everything! Look, she scored ten everytime!”
Jade was dressed in sportswear, and she seemed valiant and heroic. She aimed the target and fired four arrows in a row, each of which was stuck into the center of the target.
Nathan suddenly had the urge to curse someone.
Why would I encounter Jade wherever she went? What is going on?
He looked over again and smiled.
Wasn’t that Negino “Loach” Mendez?
Back then, Negino was very arrogant when he was imprisoned. He disliked the food and smashed the canteen, and then Nathan hung him up on a telephone pole for three days. After that, he turned from the mighty Negino to the little Loach.
“I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to meet Jade. She is the latest top fighter in our country. If I can marry such a woman…”
“Stop dreaming, the Perkins family is big in Emperia City, and General Perkins is a heroine. Who can be worthy of her?”
However, everyone’s attention returned to Luke and the other man when they picked up their swords and started practicing.
Luke was indeed quite skillful. Otherwise, he would not have won the third runner-up. The man on the opposite side was not his match at all. After a few rounds, Luke knocked down his opponent’s sword and pointed at his throat.
“Mr. Luke is amazing! He knocked off Mr. Mandy’s sword in five moves!” Natalie’s eyes lit up.
Luke’s movements were flexible and elegant, which made many young girls flutter.
Nathan frowned and decided to leave. He didn’t want to have anything to do with Jade. He hated trouble, even though the four men last night were nothing to him.
