Sonny did his best to keep pace and walked behind Nathan to the Payne familyâs garage.
As he settled into the car, Nathanâs warm gaze reverted to its customary cold demeanor.
âTo the house of the Shaw family,â he instructed.
About thirty minutes later, the limo pulled up to the Shawsâ house.
Nathan wasnât in his military uniform but just dressed casually.
Larryâs disciplined soldiers were positioned by the gate in a precise formation and had been awaiting his arrival.
Without glancing in any other direction, Nathan gave orders, âSearch every room in the house, leaving no corner unchecked.
Pay particular attention to the rooms on the top floor and Mekhiâs and Kysonâs rooms.
â
âUnderstood, sir.
â
The group promptly made their way into the villa, commencing a thorough and methodical search.
Sonny went with them to the top floor for the search.
Meanwhile, Shiloh was tasked with assembling all the servants and bodyguards in the garden to prevent them from interfering with the operation.
After some minutes of thorough searching, Sonny returned first.
His expression was grave as he approached Nathan and whispered, âNathan, we couldnât even find a single trace of a suspicious iron chain on the top floor.
Itâs clear that Mekhi has removed all evidence beforehand.
Iâm afraid we wonât make any headway today.
Thereâs been no progress.
â
Nathanâs expression turned gloomy, and he remained silent.
After his men finished searching, they headed downstairs to report their findings.
âSir, I didnât find anything suspicious in Mr.
Shawâs room.
â
âSir, I also found nothing on the top floor.
â
âSirâ¦â
Nathan listened attentively, but he kept his gaze fixed on the servants, bodyguards, and Shiloh who were in the garden.
Upon hearing their reports, Shiloh remained composed, seemingly expecting this outcome.
With narrowed eyes, Nathan instructed his men, âSearch the garden and backyard again.
This time meticulously.
Leave no stone unturned.
â
Shiloh dropped his head and clenched his fists, hoping they wouldnât uncover the hidden secret in the backyard.
His anxiety began to grew.
Seeing his unusual reaction, Nathan chose to remain silent and joined his men in searching the garden and backyard.
