Nathan told Carlos to arrange for men to bring the national treasure back to the country before retreating to his room with Penny to rest.

The next morning, just as Nathan woke up, Carlos rushed to him to seek help.

As Nathan lifted a cup of tea to sip in the living room, he asked, "Carlos, it's quite early. Did something urgent happen?"

Carlos was pale, and in the next second, he went down on his knees.

Even Colin and Ava were dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.

Nathan was the first to come back to his senses. As he frowned, he asked, "Carlos, what are you doing? You're Eurasia's ambassador in Eagleland.

However, Carlos did not dare to rise to his feet. In a shaky voice, he uttered, "I haven't been able to complete the task you've assigned to me well. Something has gone wrong. I deserve death for my mistake! President Cross, I've come today to accept my punishment!"
