CHAPTER 1055 I AM WILLING TO ATONE FOR MY SINS

A glint of anger flashed across Nathan's eyes. "So even though you knew that The Omniscience is a traitorous organization, you still joined them? All because you wanted to line your own pockets?"

"General, in the beginning, I really didn't know they had such malicious intents towards our nation."

"My only thought was to expand our overseas businesses. I only found out about the nature of the organization after I joined them. But by then, I was already in too deep. It was too late for me to leave..."

"Too late? Why would it be too late? Are you sure it wasn't just because you didn't want to leave? Especially when you knew how much it would affect your interests?" snorted Nathan in disdain.

Morris shook his head frantically. "No, that's not it. After I joined The Omniscience, I did a few things for them without fully realizing what I was doing. These weren't particularly significant matters, but because I've already done so, I could no longer just turn my back and walk away from them.”

"Well, now you have a chance to get out of the organization. Let's see whether you'll take up the opportunity."

"Yes, General! Yes, I'll do it! I've long wanted to leave that horrific cult..."

"I've only learned of this organization recently and am in the process of digging up everything about it. I need to know just how many families, companies, and politicians are involved. Are you willing to help me?" asked Nathan.

Morris froze for a second before answering, "General, with your connections, you could very easily allocate the necessary resources to look into this..."

Nathan shook his head. "No. This organization has managed to infiltrate too deeply into our nation, at both an individual and group level. At this point, we don't exactly know who is on whose side, so

we can't recklessly involve others in this, or our actions might alert them of our plans." That's true. If the General blatantly asks officials to look into The Omniscience, the members would easily find out. They would then simply sell off their assets and escape overseas with their money. These people all have billions of assets; some of them even have as much as trillions.

If they really end up escaping, their funds will shift overseas, too.

Ultimately, the fund outflow could result in a massive financial crisis for the nation!

No wonder the General doesn't trust anyone with this and insists on personally digging up all the members of The Omniscience.

Morris hurriedly agreed. "I'm willing to atone for my sins and assist you in looking into The Omniscience, General.”

Nathan nodded, and asked Morris to write out a list of all the people he knew who were involved with The Omniscience.

Morris immediately started on the task and soon handed a list of names to

Nathan.

There were over a hundred names on the list, but they were all mid-cap companies and people who weren't high on the social ladder.

They were just the little fishes instead of the ones whom Nathan was truly after. All rights © .

But one name on the list attracted his attention.

Marcus Lane—the patriarch of the Saber clan and the most prominent of the eight most revered families in the nation.

Nathan stared at Morris. "Why is Marcus Lane the only noteworthy name on your list? All the rest are rather insignificant."

"Everything is run mysteriously in The Omniscience. Besides, they split members into different groups so it's easier for them to manage. The head of my group just happens to be Marcus Lane of the Saber clan." "Whenever the organization wants us to do something, they will tell us through Marcus Lane."

Nathan narrowed his eyes. "In that case, if we want to dig up more information, Marcus Lane will have to be our point of entry."

Meanwhile, in Glyngarth, Marcus Lane was on the phone with the supreme leader of The Omniscience, Cicero Trumbo.

Cicero Trumbo was in a rage. "My son, William, has been detained. The embassy of Eagleland has voiced its protest many times but to no avail. They won't even let me see him! Marcus, you need to get my son out! And Nathan Cross must die!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Trumbo. The military holds our clan in high regard, so rest assured that the two matters will be taken care of very soon."

"Great! I shall await your good news then," answered Cicero.
