Startled, Mylo seized the officer’s arm.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “Where is Nathan? Where is he?”


    “Mr.


    Payne is tied up.


    He couldn’t make it down here to see you.


    ”


    Mylo was taken aback and frowned in disbelief.


    “How could he note? Doesn’t he want to know the truth?”


    The officer calmly shook off his hand.


    “Mr.


    Payne will pursue what he needs to know in his own way.


    No one else can dictate his actions.


    ”


    The sound of footsteps echoed as the officer walked away, leaving the corridor silent thereafter.


    Sitting on the cold floor against the wall, Mylo looked pensive.


    Did Nathan already have enough clues that he didn’t need to negotiate?


    This thought was quickly dismissed by Mylo.


    Taking a deep breath, he muttered to himself, “It’s impossible.


    My father would never expose it.


    Without clear evidence from over twenty years ago, Nathan will have to negotiate with me.


    ”


    Firm in this belief, Mylo calmly lit a cigarette and waited quietly for Nathan.


    He was convinced that without concrete evidence, Nathan would have no choice but toe and negotiate.


    It was only a matter of time.


    Both men were deep in their own thoughts.


    An hourter, the door to the cell opened.


    Hearing the noise, Mylo didn’t even lift his head.


    He didn’t need visual confirmation to know who it was.


    “You’re finally here, Nathan.


    I thought you’d show more urgency about the truth concerning your parents’ death,” Mylo remarked.


    Dressed in a dark green military uniform, Nathan entered the cell with a solemn and imposing air, his hands tucked into the pockets of his trousers.


    The officer ced a chair ten steps away from Mylo.


    Nathan pursed his lips and took a seat in the chair, remaining silent.


    The officer left the cell and then instructed everyone else to vacate the area, ensuring privacy for the discussion between Nathan and Mylo.


    Mylo straightened up as he watched Nathan.


    His confidence grew, and he defiantly blew smoke rings towards Nathan.


    It seemed like a challenge.


    With a stern expression and dark eyes, Nathanmanded in a cold tone, “Put out the cigarette right now.


    ”


    “Why? I haven’tmitted any serious crime.


    What rule says I can’t smoke here?”


    Nathan replied, “My wife detests the smell of smoke.


    Put it out.
