“How can I not come when you’ve surrounded the West family villa?” Howard’s voice was low, and he seemed very displeased.

Nathan instantly frowned.

“Sir, does someone in the West family have a relationship with you?” Nathan felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If he was correct, then moving against the West family would be the same as disrespecting his teacher.

Yet, the order from the Winter family was similarly impossible to disobey.

“Sir, I can back off from the West family, but I need to capture the surviving descendant of the Fox family. Is that okay?” Nathan asked.

“If you touch him, you’ll have to face me!” Howard looked grim.

Right then, Nathan’s face turned dark.

He never imagined that his teacher would try to protect Dustin.

“Sir, must you really protect Dustin?” Nathan looked firm.

“Protect him? Me?” Howard looked like he was about to laugh despite his anger. “I’m here to protect you!”

Dustin had never seen Howard so agitated.
