Hansel's birthday banquet ended in a sour note.

Once it was over, Hansel asked Nathan to stay back so they could talk in private.

Nathan said apologetically, "I wanted to celebrate your birthday and make you happy, Mr. Windsor. I didn't expect things to turn out so badly."

Hansel waved his hand. "It's not your fault. I know Zion and Erwin have been battling against each other, but I didn't expect that Erwin would go so far. If Zion had a financial issue, Erwin could've brought it up during a meeting and requested the president to conduct an investigation on Zion. And yet, he chose to bring Zion in publicly for the investigation. Once the news spread, things will become difficult to deal with."

Nathan said, "Erwin's willing to disregard the consequences and do whatever it takes to defeat his opponent."

A look of confusion appeared in Hansel's eyes.

He explained, "Actually, Erwin alone wouldn't be able to lay a finger on Zion. After all, Zion is the cabinet secretary. He's half a rank higher than Erwin!"

Hearing that, Nathan furrowed his eyebrows.

It was then that he remembered what he had seen on the warrant which Braydon had shown to Zion before the latter was taken away. There was not only Erwin's signature on the warrant, but Garrett's signature was right next to Erwin's.

Nathan knew Garrett preferred Erwin.

However, he didn't expect that Garrett would allow Erwin to send someone to arrest Zion without discussing the matter with others.
