Chapter 1859: Chapter 2073

Unrushed and composed, Nathan had no qualms about biding his time with Mylo and Ronan.

However, he was taken aback when the police officer who knocked on his door delivered unexpected news – it wasn’t about Mylo.

“Sir, Kern has just arrived.

He mentioned that your grandfather couldn’t reach you, so he sent Kern to find you personally.

”

Nathan furrowed his brow, pondering his grandfather’s timing in trying to reach him during such a critical juncture.

“Did Kern give a reason why my grandfather sent him here?”

The officer shook his head.

“Based on Kern’s demeanor, I suspect it’s more than a simple matter.

”

Glancing at his watch, Nathan noted that it was four o’clock in the afternoon.

With six hours remaining before the agreed deadline with Mylo, Nathan maintained his composure.

“Okay, bring Kern to my office.

”

“Yes, sir.

”

After receiving Nathan’s instruction, the officer departed, leaving the room.

A few minutes later, he returned, accompanied by Kern.

Nathan rose from his seat, poured Kern a glass of water, and placed it on the small tea table.

Gesturing towards the nearby sofa, he said, “This is your first visit to the National Security Bureau to see me.

It must have been quite a journey.

Please, take a seat.

Despite his polite and composed demeanor, Nathan’s expression remained cool and indifferent.

Kern smiled graciously, “Your grandfather had the driver bring me here.

It wasn’t much of a distance, so I didn’t exert myself.

If anything, you’re the one who seems tired.

”

He replied politely and settled onto the designated sofa as indicated by Nathan.

Adjusting his watch, Nathan lowered his gaze and inquired softly, “What prompted my grandfather to send you here?”

Kern reached for the cup, intending to drink some water.

However, upon hearing Nathan’s question, he immediately set the cup back down and began, “Here’s the situation…”

But before he could continue, Nathan interjected, “If it pertains to Mylo and Ronan, there’s no need for the discussion.

”

Kern’s expression froze.

He was speechless.

It was evident from his demeanor that his visit was indeed related to them.

Nathan’s tone turned cold.

“Grandfather has retired from military affairs.

Mylo and his son’s transgressions fall under the jurisdiction of the National Security Bureau.

Business is business, and familial ties shouldn’t interfere.

Please convey to Grandfather to refrain from involvement in this matter.

”

With a resigned sigh, Kern responded, “Mr.

Payne, I understand you still harbor resentment towards Ronan for the incident involving your grandfather, but he doesn’t even hold a grudge.

Why are you being so obstinate?”

“This is a matter of principle,” Nathan asserted firmly.

Kern proceeded, “Your grandfather only has two grandsons: you and Ronan.

When he helped you gain power, he inadvertently angered Mylo and his son.

He felt indebted to them.

He can’t bear to see one grandson prosper while the other Languishes in adversity.
