"It's you again!" Leroy was so furious upon seeing Nathan that his eyes could spit fire.
Everyone turned to look at Nathan.
Torsten was intrigued. "Mr. Leroy, who is this brat that dares to be rude to you?"
Leroy glared at Nathan with eyes full of hatred before gritting his teeth and saying, "He is Nathan Cross."
Nathan Cross!
Everyone at the table narrowed their eyes.
Torsten from the Zartman family, Osvald from the Zuckerberg family, Rasmus from the Jimmerson family, and Esben from the Gilham family looked threatening.
The four of them and Bryson from the Norris family were known as the Five Prodigies of the Five Reclusive Families.
Four of them, including Torsten, came here on the order of their families to assist the Quillen family to kill Nathan.
However, they did not expect to bump into Nathan on their first day in Brimmopolis. Furthermore, it was at the welcoming dinner Leroy organized for them.
Torsten looked at Nathan with a smile that did not meet his eyes. "So this is Nathan Cross, the infamous God of War from the North."
Nathan turned to Torsten. "Who are you? Why do you seem to have a problem with me?"
Torsten stood up and grinned. "It is not a problem yet. However, I think that you shouldn't go against the Quillen family and behave rudely before Mr. Leroy.
"If you are willing to drink to Mr. Leroy and apologize for your rudeness, I might be able to appeal to Mr. Leroy on your behalf and ask him to forgive you this time."
Cheryl's expression turned pale.
She was about to offer to drink to Leroy on Nathan's behalf so as to save him the humiliation.
However, Colin spoke before she could do anything. "Who the heck are you? Where were you when the general fought on the battlefield? How dare you speak rudely to the general?"
Torsten's expression grew stern. "Mr. Leroy, may I
Torsten continued smugly, "Oh, it seems you know about the Five Reclusive Families' fearsome reputation. Have you been keeping tabs on us? I'm surprised that you knew our names.”
In actuality, Nathan had no idea who Torsten and the others were before today.
This morning. Sage discussed the Special Recruitment Drive with him and showed him the name list of recommended candidates. He saw Torsten and the others on the list of candidates recommended by Layden.
Nathan had a photographic memory, so he remembered those names.
Therefore, he chuckled and said, "I did not keep tabs on you but happened to see the Special Recruitment Drive name list and noticed someone recommended you. It is a surprise to bump into all of you here.”
Leroy, Torsten, and the others were stunned.
They could not figure out where Nathan saw the Special Recruitment Drive name list.
Then, Nathan continued calmly, "I was curious about how powerful you all were when I saw the name list. Since you are all here, I test your capabilities on the military's behalf. If I find you all weak, you have better stay at home and stop dreaming about joining the military.”
