Sonny’splexion paled.


    “Nathan, how long have you been here? Did you hear our conversation?”


    Nathan nodded solemnly, his expression unreadable.


    Observing both Sonny and Larry gulp nervously, Nathan spoke.


    “I overheard your thoughts about yesterday’s punishment, Sonny.


    If you’re dissatisfied, you shoulde to my office and discuss it with me privately.


    ”


    Sonny’s expression froze, his face slightly darkened from the sun exposure at the border.


    Yet, despite the outward appearance, it was hard to discern the inner paleness of his heart.


    “Na… Nathan… It was wrong of me to say that!” Sonny swiftly apologized, trying to rify.


    “I didn’t intend toin.


    I just wanted to convey that your disciplinary action was fair and ultimately beneficial for me! It really is!”


    Actually, the punishment left Sonny’s waist and back in agony, prompting him to let out a cry of pain.


    Nathan couldn’t help but be amused by Sonny’s silly expression.


    Suppressing augh, he retorted, “Enough of your nonsense.


    Follow me to my office.


    ”


    Thest sentence hit Sonny like a bolt from the blue, its echoes reverberating in his ears.


    Regret gnawed at Sonny as he realized Nathan’s words meant trouble.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    If heplied and went to the office, punishment was inevitable.


    With his arms feeling weak and sore, Sonny pondered how much longer he could endure another wall handstand.


    He felt a deep sadness and desperation as he trailed behind Nathan, contemting how to plead his caseter.


    Should he grab Nathan’s legs and burst into tears once they were in the office?


    Larry cast a sympathetic nce at Sonny.


    In the blink of an eye, he hurried away, fearing he might be entangled in the situation.


    Feeling frustrated, Sonny trailed behind Nathan into his office, his head hung low, contemting how best to plead his case and avoid being dismissed.


    Lost in thought, Sonny was startled when Nathan waved his hand in front of him.


    “Nathan, what’s up?”


    Nathan frowned, “What’s on your mind? You didn’t even hear what I said.


    ”


    Sonny rubbed his forehead and quickly came up with an excuse.


    I didn’t sleep wellst night, so I’ve been feeling a bit distracted Nathan chose not to pursue the matter further.


    “What about Mylo? Is he behaving well?”


    Sonny shook his head.


    “Last night, he caused quite amotion in the room for half the night.


    He was shouting, iming you were disrespectful to him.


    Eventually, after realizing no one was paying him any heed, he quieted down.


    ”


    Nathan listened attentively, his expression unreadable.


    “It appears he hasn’t faced consequences for his actions yet.


    The National Security Bureau is under my authority, but he dares to challenge me because he holds leverage.


    Unfortunately, I’m unable to take direct action against him.


    ”


    “He holds leverage? Did he make any threats against you?” Sonny asked, his tone serious.


    With a grave expression, Nathan took a deep breath and settled into his chair.


    “I need your assistance with something crucial.


    It concerns a car ident that urred decades ago.


    I need you to locate the news documents about that ident and see if there’s anything suspicious.


    ”


    Sonny nodded in understanding.


    “Okay, I’ll get right on it.
