The Greatest Man Alive
Chapter 401 Targeted Jade came to Nathanâs office. As soon as she came in, the whole room seemed to shine brightly.
Nathan smiled when he saw her. âYouâre always a busy woman, General Perkins.
Why are you here?â
Jade ignored Nathan and immediately turned to Wendy as soon as she saw her.
âWendy, stop what youâre doing if you donât want him dead.â
Wendy didnât speak. She lowered her head and played with her nails as if she didnât hear what Jade had said.
Seeing that Jade had ignored him, Nathan shrugged, leaning lazily on the chair and looking at her.
âDid you hear me?â Jade asked indifferently.
âYes,â Wendy said, âBut I donât want to speak because your words are too boring.â
Jadeâs face turned cold with a trace of impatience.
Wendy stood up, shook her head, and said, âWhy should I listen to you? We didnât start it.â
âThe Roarclaws Group wanted to crush us, and Natasha wanted to profit from it. That was why we intervened.â
âYou also wanted to profit from it. You invested two billion dollars in Natasha.â
âYou bullied me at the beginning, and now you want me to stop because youâre losing?â
âWhy should I agree? I canât let you go so easily!â
Maybe Jadeâs temperament could suppress most people, but Wendy was not among them. She was also as proud as a queen.
Jade looked at Wendy fiercely. âIf Nathan dies, you wonât be able to live either!â
Nathan said, âSorry, I wonât die! The bad guys will live forever. I know Iâm evil, so how could I die like this?â
Jade turned around and said coldly, âIâm not kidding. Will you listen to my words?â
Nathan said, âWhy should I listen to you? Am I your subordinate or your husband?
Youâre a bit ridiculous.â
Jade said coldly, âWe all take a step back now, and I can guarantee that nothing horrible will happen. But if you stick to it, things might be different.â
âGeneral Perkins, weâre wellâprepared. The game can go on as long as you wish.â
Wendy said determinedly.
âYou will lose your two billion dollars. Iâm sure of it.â
âAnd yes, we will also get all the money of the Porter Group alliance.â
Jade said calmly, âThis is my last warning and your last opportunity. Are you sure you donât want it?â
Nathan was surprised. âYou bullied us, so we fought back. And now youâre here to threaten us because youâre losing. Why are you calling this an opportunity?â
Jade nodded and said, âThen Iâll see you in three days!â
Then, she turned around and left immediately.
Jade knew this fight would be inevitable if Nathan and Wendy refused to give in.
In fact, she was too proud to play this kind of trick. After all, asking for a truce when losing a battle was too embarrassing.
She didnât even really want Nathan to attend Natashaâs dinner party three days later. If so, she didnât have to take action.
Jade could do whatever she wanted, but the two billion was a huge pressure, and several other forces also needed to be considered. If she couldnât fight for the same goal as the others did, even the Perkins family would suffer some unbearable losses.
This situation forced her to come to Nathan and Wendy and ask for a truce, and it also forced her to show up and even take action three days later.
âI did underestimate you back then. Fine. Let me see if you have any more surprises for me!â Jade said to herself as she clenched her fists lightly.
After Jade closed the door and left, Wendy said, âShe doesnât seem to want to fight against us. Or, to be more precise, you.â
Nathan smiled. âOf course. She has her pride, and sheâs willing to admit defeat. She can afford to lose.â
âHowever, the other forces pushed her to do things she didnât want to do.â
âEven if she is Jade, she canât help herself.â
Wendy smiled and said, âYou know her very well, and she seems to know you. When she came in, she only spoke to me but didnât say anything to you.â
Nathan didnât want to admit that he knew Jade.
But he had to admit that Jade did know him very well in some respects.
âItâs lunchtime. Ms. Wendy, letâs go to the cafeteria and have a meal together.â Nathan stood up.
âOkay!â Wendy agreed.
As expected of a workaholic, Wendy called the senior management of Poly Capital to sit down at a table during lunchtime and assigned some tasks.
Nathan kept eating in silence. He didnât want to participate in these work matters at all.
Everyone could notice something in Wendyâs voice. The final battle had come.
âCome and train with me tomorrow morning as usual.â Before getting off work, Nathan smiled and glanced at Gussie, who was hesitant to speak.
âOkayâ¦â Gussie hurriedly nodded.
Gussie was afraid that Nathan had too many things to do recently, and he might not be free to teach her and Julian..
Early the next morning, Nathan took the two of them to practice on Mountain Almonube at five am.
After practicing, Nathan went back home and changed into his military uniform.
âWow. You look sexy!â Hannah was wearing loose pajamas. She had just got up to tidy up when she saw Nathan was ready to leave, so she couldnât help but tease him.
âCome here and let me look at you.â She walked up to Nathan and touched him.
Nathan impatiently slapped her hand away and said with a smirk, âYouâre good at teasing, but youâre bad at bearing the consequence.â
Hannah laughed and touched Nathanâs shoulder. âYou must be careful. The most critical moment has come, and you canât relax.â
Nathan felt slightly annoyed that too many people cared for him and asked him to take care, but it was also a kind of happiness that he had never experienced.
After leaving Emperia City, nobody ever cared about his father and him..
While at the Devendill Prison, his father didnât take care of him and even tortured him.
Fortunately, he was strong enough to survive and became even better.
âIâll go to the S1st Division. You can go to work. Just contact me anytime if you need anything.â Nathan hugged Hannah and kissed her before he said goodbye.
Soon, Nathan arrived at the 81st Division.
Barry came to find him and said in a low voice, âSomeone came from the War Department today and said they wanted to test the Sharp Knife Company.â
Nathan said, âAlright.â
Barry said, âThey came here for you.â
âFor me?â Nathan couldnât help raising his brows, and his voice turned cold.
