Nathan immediately replied, "Invite him inside now... Wait, no. It's better if I go welcome him in person."

It didn't take long before Nathan led Colin, Sage, and his other subordinates to the entrance, where they met an honest-looking fellow with an average build. That guy was the renowned Erwin Holmes. Erwin had a few bodyguards with him. A plump guy with slumped shoulders was following them. That guy was none other than Carrey.

Nathan smiled and greeted, "Mr.

Holmes, what brought you here?"

"Chief Cross!"

Erwin hurried forward when he saw Nathan showing up in person.

The two men shook hands.

Erwin cut to the chase right away and said apologetically, "It's kind of embarrassing, really. I am a terrible father and didn't teach my son right from wrong. That is why he ended up offending you tonight. When I learned about what he did, I hurriedly dragged the boy over to apologize for what he did."

Nathan replied, "Ah, you're too kind, Mr. Holmes. It's true we got into a fight tonight, but it's not a big deal. I feel so bad that you got dragged into this mess and even paid me a visit at this late hour."

Erwin immediately replied, "No, you shouldn't feel that way at all. It's entirely my fault. My stupid son has always been wreaking havoc, and I am thankful that you taught him a lesson tonight. Anyway, we came here to apologize to you."

He then turned to his son and said sternly, "Carrey, apologize right now!"

Carrey lowered his head and said,

"I'm sorry, Chief Cross. Please forgive me for misbehaving."

calmly replied, "It's as I said earlier when Major-General Long was present. Everything is in the past now, so there is no need for you to apologize anymore. Remember this lesson well. Don't cause any
