Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 161

Nathan smiled faintly. “They’re taking issues related to misbehavior among the children of officials very seriously these days, aren’t they? So the higher-ups have been strictly keeping watch for they’re afraid of these spoilt brats causing trouble. The Mayor even set up a channel for normal citizens recently so anyone who encounters similar problems can always give the Mayor a call. He has taken such matters very seriously and will deal with them right away. So I called the hotline, but I have never expected the Mayor to actually come and solve the issue.”

Penny believed Nathan’s words but Luther and William were slightly skeptical.

Meanwhile, inside a private room at Wigston Club.

Jon Xander was having a toast with a Southeast Asian man.

This Southeast Asian chap was over 170 cm tall and wore a wolf’s fang as a necklace.

He had tanned skin and toned muscles. At first glance, he looked like a farmer who worked on the fields by the countryside.

But the man was, in fact, a powerful figure. He was a mercenary leader who carried out activities in several small countries of Southeast Asia all year long, Fearless Wolf. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Fearless Wolf led a mercenary force consisting of dozens of men, which operated in Southeast Asia throughout the year.

Their main duties were to act as hitmen and protect drug dealers who wanted to cross checkpoints.

China was very strict when it came to mercenaries, leaving little opportunity for them to survive in such a prosperous and stable country.

Mercenaries normally didn’t want to risk carrying out their activities here either; the penalties of being caught were extremely harsh.

But this time, Jon Xander had offered Adalwolf’s team eighty million to come over and kill Nathan Cross.

Adalwolf was very tempted.

This was why he had turned up in Channing and was now drinking with Jon Xander at Wigston Club.

Adalwolf frequented various countries in Southeast Asia and was fluent in many languages around that region. “Mr. Xander, it might be easy to kill a commoner like Nathan Cross. But we’re in China now,” he said in a rather flat Chinese accent. “It’s a big risk for us to be here especially knowing how strict this country is when hunting down mercenaries. I’ll take my men to kill Nathan tonight itself if you pay half the fee now. You can pay the rest after I’m done. That’s not a problem for you, right?”

“Fair enough,” Jon Xander responded. “Pay him, Hades.”

Hades was another very capable subordinate of Jon.

His real name was Lucifer Sky and he was practically a killing machine.

Everyone in Arcvale’s underworld knew him and referred to him as Hades.

“Yes, Boss,” Hades replied in a deep voice.

Several minutes later, forty million was transferred into Adalwolf’s account.

With that, Adalwolf said delightfully, “Very good. It’s always a joy dealing with decisive people like you, Mr. Xander.

Jon raised his glass and said to Adalwolf, “I wish you success in getting rid of Nathan Cross. Cheers.”

Adalwolf returned the gesture. “Cheers!”

......

At night, Nathan and Penny took their daughter to Zornorstone amusement park.

They wanted to let the child take the Ferris wheel and carousel, but strong winds began to blow as they arrived at Zornorstone, despite the sky being clear when they left home.

Now, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed continuously followed by the sounds of thunder. It was clear that a storm was coming.

“It’s going to rain. The amusement park will close soon so we should head back,” Nathan said to Penny and Queenie.

Queenie was slightly dejected, but she knew she couldn’t play at the park now even if she wanted to. “Okay,” she said reluctantly.

Nathan carried the child and got ready to walk out of the amusement park with Penny.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine. This was an intuition he had developed after being on the battlefields for so long.

Nathan would only feel this way if someone was aiming a gun at him from behind.

Without any hesitation, he dragged Penny along while holding onto their daughter and hid behind a large Snow White statue.

At the same time, a hitman aimed a sniper rifle at Nathan from five hundred meters away. Just as he was just about to fire, he couldn’t help but exclaim softly after seeing Nathan’s move.
