He lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Lucinda pouted.
“Your men are good fighters, especially Sonny. If they fight against a well-trained army platoon, can they win?”
“It’s hard to say. It might take time to defeat a military unit, but with Sonny’s strength and the others’ skill, we should not lose.”
“Okay,” Lucinda said, deep in thought.
“Why do you ask?”
Instead of directly answering his question, she said, “Tonight, Kyson is coming here for dinner.”
Nathaniel frowned and his face darkened.
Noticing his reaction, Lucinda whispered something in his ear.
That evening, at the appointed time, Lucinda waited for Kyson at the gate.
Kyson arrived in a military vehicle with two of his closest subordinates.
As he stepped out of the jeep, he saw Lucinda. She looked exquisite, and he was flattered to see her waiting to greet him. He was very happy.
“Lucinda, you’re so beautiful tonight. Only a few hours have passed, but I feel as though I haven’t seen you in a month. I missed you that much.”

“You are droll. Thank you for your help today. Have you finished dealing with the Greens?”
“The Green Group has declared bankruptcy. I’ll ask them to pay back the money they stole from the Roberts Group, but it’s not a small amount and it may take time. Tess will be sentenced to life imprisonment. I know you prefer her alive so she can suffer for the rest of her life.”
Lucinda smiled.
They strolled through the garden side by side.

When they entered the living room, Kyson whispered in her ear, “Sally wanted to join us tonight, but I didn’t want her to disturb us…”
He paused abruptly when he noticed Nathaniel standing on the stairs and staring at him coldly.
Kyson kept a straight face, but when the men’s eyes met, the atmosphere became tense.
For a few minutes, Kyson and Nathaniel locked eyes, silently studying each other.
Casting them a glance, Lucinda stood between the two men.
Nathaniel’s recovered state made his aura slightly stronger than Kyson’s, and his eyes appeared even colder and crueler.
Speechless, she could only observe the tense situation.
