CHAPTER 1027 PEYTON BLACK OF THE BLACK CLAN

After Geronimo had gone outside to welcome all his guests, Nathan, Colin, and Kylie quietly headed to the living hall, which was filled with prominent figures.

The three of them sat in a corner. While drinking his tea, Nathan casually flipped through the Go manual.

Suddenly, a sneer sounded nearby. "Heh, there's way too many people here at General Louie's celebration today. Even some lowly peasants have shown up. How preposterous!"

Nathan looked up to see an old man and his subordinates staring at him with a cold smirk. "Who are you?" Nathan asked, bewildered.

The old man scoffed, "Peyton Black of the Black clan!"

Hearing that, Nathan nodded and remarked, "Oh, so you're that perverted old geezer."

Peyton was instantly filled with rage. "You insolent punk! I'd teach you a lesson if we weren't at General Louie's birthday celebration.”

“Aww, but I'm curious to see how you intend to teach me a lesson," Nathan replied with a chuckle.

“Fine. If that's what you want, don't even think about leaving Forthmore City alive."

"Sure. I'll be waiting."

Peyton Black let out a cold snort before noticing the precious Go manual in Nathan's hands. His eyes immediately widened. Isn't that the Go manual | gave to the General of the North?

Why is it in his hands?

"Where did you get that book?" Peyton asked, conflicted with surprise and anger.

Nathan froze for a moment before glancing down at the book he had just finished reading. "Someone gave it to me. Is there a problem?" he replied casually.

Peyton was taken aback.

This Go manual was a treasured antique. It contained many winning strategies that had been recorded since ancient times. An item like this was worth nothing to one who had no interest in Go.

However, it was extremely valuable to those who liked playing the board game.

Peyton had decided to give this Go book to the General of the North after learning that the latter enjoyed Go and even played it especially well.

But why is it with Nathan now? This question was driving Peyton nuts.

Peyton had instructed his men to look up Nathan's background long ago. From the background investigation, he found out that Nathan came from the Cross family.

He was once exiled from his family and served the North army for several years as an ordinary platoon leader. After retiring from the army, he and Penny founded Cross Group together.

Thus, when Peyton saw the gift he had given to the General of the North in Nathan's hands, he still couldn't figure out that Nathan and the General were the same person.Material © of .

There were only two possibilities in Peyton's mind. The first one was that the General had lent the book to Nathan, while the other possible reason was that the General was completely uninterested in the book, so he tossed it wherever he liked and Nathan happened to pick it up.

Peyton felt that the second possibility was more likely.

Damn it. | really messed up.

| should've known that someone like the General would think nothing of a Go manual. He probably thought | was insincere by gifting that book to him.

While regretting his decision, Peyton was silently delighted too. Not o

With that thought in mind, Peyton felt slightly more at ease. He cast Nathan a glance and snorted before walking away with a huff.

Nathan, Colin, and Kylie could vaguely hear Peyton's attend viven asking, "I nt that So GSR the one ae-tant the General of the North, Master Peyton? Why does that man have it?” Please read the original content at .

"I'm guessing the General didn't like it, so he tossed it somewhere, and someone

else picked it up."

"If the General doesn't want it, why don't we take it back from Nathan, Master Peyton? It belongs to us anyway." "Why bother? Nathan's about to be a dead man soon!”

Hearing that, his subordinates laughed gleefully. "Indeed. Anyone who dares to cross the Black clan won't get to walk out of Forthmore alive.”
