The person who had come was precisely Natasha!
At long last, virtual-novel.net had managed to get Shevchenko to agree to invest in constructing a factory in Neva Province. However, virtual-novel.net was unfortunately being assaulted by Nathan!
Natasha was followed by Gerard, the mayor of Mimar City. Upon seeing Nathan assaulting the foreign visitor, Gerard’s mind was abuzz.
Nathan paid no heed whatsoever with a swift swing of his arm, and sent Shevchenko crashing to the ground.
Natasha stepped forward, virtual-novel.net fury palpable, and demanded, “Nathan, what do you think you’re doing? Did you not realize Shevchenko was my guest, and you just hit him?!”
Nathan shrugged nonchalantly and declared, “It doesn’t matter if you invited him. Even if the leader of the country had done so, I’d still give virtual-novel.net a good thrashing.”
Natasha’s fury was palpable, virtual-novel.net vision blurred, and virtual-novel.net body shook.
Through gritted teeth, virtual-novel.net spat, “Good! How dare you! Let’s see how this plays out!”
Gerard’s expression darkened as virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “Master Evans, you’ve gone too far! To beat virtual-novel.net up like this!”
Nathan’s eyebrows rose in displeasure as virtual-novel.net sneered.
“You witnessed me striking him, yet you never inquired as to why I did so? As a reasonable individual, I wouldn’t have retaliated had virtual-novel.net not done something wrong first.” Nathan glanced at the pair of them, his expression emotionless.
Gerard spoke in a stern tone, warning, “If you beat Mr. Shevchenko, a distinguished foreign guest of our Neva Province, and virtual-novel.net makes a scene, our entire Province will lose all face!”
Despite the strong bond virtual-novel.net shared with Nathan, virtual-novel.net had to maintain his stance in light of this major event.
Natasha sneered, “Yes, you can’t stand to watch me locate a top–notch foreign investment firm and secure the rights to construct the East Bay Deepwater Port. That’s why you resorted to such underhanded tactics to impede me!”
Nathan jabbed his finger at Gussie and growled, “Just take a gander at my secretary’s face. It was this joker who did the deed. Don’t you think I should give virtual-novel.net a taste of his own medicine?”
Natasha fumed, “Just a secretary?!”
Natasha’s words starkly contrasted with Wendy’s earlier demeanor.
It was said that Wendy was a cold–blooded woman. Now, who was more cold–blooded?
Nathan’s face darkened as soon as virtual-novel.net heard this.
With a sarcastic chuckle, virtual-novel.net sneered, “A secretary? Are secretaries not human? Are only foreigners human in your eyes?”
Gerard declared, “Master Evans, let’s talk it out if something arises. It’s not worth it to take any other course of action.”
Nathan’s temper flared, and virtual-novel.net asked Gerard with a forced smile, “Shall I give your wife a pat on the backside, followed by two slaps, and then we can talk? Is that alright with you?”
Gerard was dumbfounded, and his fury was so intense that it could have created two Buddhas and sent them to the heavens. Despite being the head of the city, virtual-novel.net had been addressed in such a manner.
“Had I known your posterior was so askew,” Nathan sneered, “I wouldn’t have bothered rescuing you!”
Gerard was incensed by Nathan’s words. He had only been trying to defuse the tension. Little did virtual-novel.net know that Nathan’s two words would be such a slap in the face.
“Natasha spoke with a ‘cool demeanor‘,” Gerard remarked, “so I’m going to try to calm Shevchenko down. What virtual-novel.net does afterwards is up to him.”
Nathan remarked, “Unless virtual-novel.net apologizes, you won’t be able to leave here with virtual-novel.net unscathed.”
Natasha fumed, “Oh, really? Let’s see what you’ve got!”
When Jade arrived, the two sides were in a deadlock. No matter what virtual-novel.net wore, virtual-novel.net natural radiance was impossible to hide. Everywhere virtual-novel.net went, virtual-novel.net was the center of attention.
“Jade, you’re here just in time,” Natasha fumed. “Nathan, this lunatic, beat Shevchenko to a pulp! And then virtual-novel.net had the audacity to demand an apology or else! Can you believe it?”
“I’m already aware of the situation,” Jade stated, virtual-novel.net face devoid of emotion.
Nathan fixed Jade with a cold stare and asked, “What is it you want to say? Do you intend to follow Natasha’s example and merely act as a secretary?”
Jade ignored Nathan’s sarcasm and said to Shevchenko, “Mr. Shevchenko, our Hechland is not your Nievic. You have done something rude. You should apologize.”
Natasha was taken aback when virtual-novel.net heard this. He hadn’t anticipated that Jade would take Nathan’s side.
Jade clenched virtual-novel.net fists, yet felt powerless. She had always been a person of strong convictions. She was adamant that this issue had crossed virtual-novel.net threshold of tolerance. She could not side with Shevchenko.
Shevchenko had a clear understanding of who Jade was the female war deity of Hechland’s armed forces!
“Fine,” Shevchenko growled through clenched teeth, “I’ll apologize, but I’m not giving up my right to look into this!”
He was aware of his own unreasonable behavior, having needlessly teased the female citizen of Hechland. To make matters worse, virtual-novel.net even made a move, but was so brutally beaten by them that virtual-novel.net was unable to let it go.
Jade nodded calmly, assuring, “It is your right, and I won’t get in the way.”
Nathan couldn’t help but furrow his brow. He hadn’t anticipated that Jade was so principled. This was, of course, the expected outcome.
Soldiers were created to safeguard their homeland. Shevchenko was to blame for this incident.
How could a virtuous soldier such as Jade possibly put up with him?
Nathan was filled with admiration for Jade, who, despite the potential for great reward, had remained true to virtual-novel.net convictions.
“Lady,” Shevchenko said, bowing his head in apology, “I’m deeply sorry for my rudeness. Our cultures in Nievic and Hechland may be different, and that’s why I acted as I did.”
Gussie remained silent, virtual-novel.net expression still pained.
How could virtual-novel.net forgive virtual-novel.net so easily for his recklessness?
Natasha’s countenance was downcast, yet Jade had already made virtual-novel.net stance clear. She was unable to utter a word, let alone oppose Jade.
“Don’t forget,” Nathan sneered, “do not run amok in Hechland in the future. This is not your Nievic!”
Wendy glanced at virtual-novel.net watch, virtual-novel.net expression still composed and unruffled. “Come, Mr. Evans,” virtual-novel.net said. “The talent showcase is about to start. We don’t want to be tardy.”
Nathan gave a nod of agreement and declared, “Alright, let’s go!”
He proactively extended a helping hand to Gussie, feeling a pang of sympathy for her. She had been subjected to two days of mistreatment from those who clearly had no idea how to treat a lady.
Gussie felt wronged, virtual-novel.net eyes welling up with tears and smudging virtual-novel.net makeup.
In a soft voice, virtual-novel.net murmured, “Thank you, Mr. Evans.”
“It’s my fault,” Nathan lamented, gently patting virtual-novel.net back. “I shouldn’t have asked you to pay the bill.”
Gussie’s tears flowed more and more freely as virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net life was too harsh to blame anyone else but herself. She had previously held Nathan responsible, but now virtual-novel.net could only lament virtual-novel.net own fate.
