Chapter 1691 The Return
After baring their souls to each other, Zachary and Johann's bonds were further strengthened.
Having survived many trials and tribulations together, Zachary and his subordinates deepened the
camaraderie and loyalty they shared.
Ever since Henry established Nacht Group, Zachary had managed to prevent the company from
falling into the hands of others despite the crises it faced throughout the decades.
Consequently, he had not failed those who came before him.
In the afternoon, Zachary held a board meeting to streamline all operational matters. He then
announced that the company would return to its normal functions the very next day.
Clapping enthusiastically with tears in their eyes, the board members swore to follow Zachary to
death and never abandon him.
After nodding with a slight smile, Zachary instructed Bruce to wheel him out of the room.
When he checked his phone, he realized he had a missed call from Francesco.
If I don't see her now, she will probably hunt me down with her beasts.
After Zachary got into the car, Bruce reported anxiously, âMs. Felch gave me a call and threatened to
lose her temper if she doesnât see you by sundown.â
"Haha..." Zachary laughed. âIn that case, you had better step on it. If we're late, she might end up
burning Rokan Hill down.â
âI can't believe how bad her temper is. In contrast to her, I now feel that Ms. Lindberg is kind and
gentle,â Bruce commented anxiously.
âIsn't that obvious?â Zachary shot him a glare. âEven without being compared to the devilish
woman, Charlotte is inherently a kind and gentle soul.â
"Yes, yes, of course.â Bruce nodded before urging Marino to drive faster.
Halfway through the journey, Marino suddenly remarked, âSomeone's tailing us.â
"Hmm?" Zachary raised his gaze at the rearview mirror. âThey're the Lindberg familyâs men.â
âAre they following us in order to find Francesco?â Bruce furrowed his brows. âConsidering they are
family, it would be unwise to be in open conflict.â
âPull up in front,â Zachary ordered.
âRight away.â Marino slowed the car down to a stop.
"What's going on? Have we been noticed?â Sean's subordinate asked.
âLooks like it,â Sean responded with a frown. âBut since Mr. Nacht has stopped his car instead of
trying to lose us, he probably wants to talk.â
âIn that case...â
âDrive over then.â
âAll right.â
Their silver Maybach came to a stop behind Zachary's black Rolls-Royce.
After alighting from the car, Sean took the initiative to greet Zachary, âMr. Nacht, it's been a while.â
âTell Mr. Lindberg that I'll see him tonight at ten to talk,â Zachary suggested with a smile. âBefore
that, tell him to give me some time.â
"Erm..." Sean pondered a moment before replying in a conflicted tone, âPlease wait for a moment
while I check with him.â
Zachary signaled him to go ahead.
Sean moved to the side and gave Danrique a call to convey Zachary's message.
After a momentary silence, Danrique answered, âBack off then.â
âRight away.â Sean hurried back to Zachary. âMr. Nacht, Mr. Lindberg will see you at ten.â
âI'll be there.â
âOkay.â
Sean swiftly left with his men.
Once their car was nowhere in sight, Zachary ordered Marino to continue their drive to Rokan Hill.
âIt seems Mr. Lindberg is open to negotiations this time,â Bruce speculated. âHas he set aside his
bias due to Ms. Lindberg and the children?â
âNo.â Zachary smirked. âIt's because of Francesco.â
"Huh?" Bruce was puzzled.
âDo you think he doesnât know that Francesco is at Southridge?â Zachary asked with his eyebrow
raised. âGiven that we're heading to Rokan Hill, it's not difficult for him to guess where Francesco is.
I'm guessing that instead of a confrontation, he wants to persuade her to return in a more subtle
manner.â
