Nathan quickly took a step back and leaned back slightly to avoid the passing red thread.
He managed to dodge it.
Swish! The bookshelf beside Nathan bore the brunt of the damage. If he had not moved quickly enough, he would have ended up like the bookshelf, sliced into two parts.
Red Spider did not expect Nathan to be agile enough to dodge her attack.
As such, she grew more serious about the fight.
Waving her hands in the air, Red Spider made countless red threads appear in the area. They intertwined with each other, cutting up everything in their path.
However, while Red Spider's attack seemed like a destructive tsunami heading for Nathan, the latter looked unaffected. He was as calm as an old fisherman on a small boat in the sea.
At the same time, Colin and Ava's fight with Red Spider's subordinates had ended.
Red Spider's men were lying on the ground in their pool of blood.
On the other hand, Colin and Ava managed to save Penny and Kylie. Four of them hid in a corner, anxiously watching the fight between Red Spider and Nathan unfold.
Red Spider was powerful, and her skills were second only to Hades, the head of the Gates of Hell.
A piece of red thread in her hands could turn into a destructive weapon.
The red lines floating in the air looked like thousands of red snakes as they flew toward Nathan.
However, instead of moving away from it, Nathan lunged for Red Spider at the speed of light.
With a flick of his hand, Nathan whipped out a dagger from his sleeves at the last minute, and he managed to sever the red threads.
“That's Snowsphere!”
Colin and Ava could not help but gasp as they watched on.
All of Nathan's old followers knew that President Windsor had awarded him with the sharpest dagger when he was named the God of War.
From then on, Nathan hid it under his sleeves and rarely used it.
Everyone's expression turned ugly.
“Hubby!”
Still in shock, Penny ran into Nathan's arms.
After Nathan muttered some words of comfort to her, he ordered Colin to clean up the scene and keep the incident a secret so no one would panic.
Then, he asked about Ava’s injuries and asked her to receive treatment immediately to prevent any long-lasting effects.
As Penny and Kylie were petrified by what had happened, he decided to accompany them home.
It did not take long for Colin to finish dealing with the situation before visiting Nathan.
As instructed by Nathan, Colin headed to the study room to meet him.
Colin reported, “I've just received news that Kristoff from Novah Pharmaceutical Company was the one who contacted the Gates of Hell. He hired the assassins to come after you. On top of that, I found out that Fallen Angel was the most prized disciple of the society’s leader, and the woman earlier was Red Spider, the leader's daughter. In my opinion, they will not let the matter rest and are likely to come back for you.” Nathan snarled, “The Gates of Hell! They have gotten on my nerves. Even if they don't show up before me again, I will do whatever it takes to find them and make sure to take down their headquarters. If they come for me, it will save me a lot of trouble.”
