True to his thoughts, he faced a great deal of trouble. Not only did the family head decide that it was already enough that he had made so many people in the family to suffer, but he had also broken so many rules at that moment.
As such, the family head had decided that, from that moment on, Nathan would no longer be allowed to participate in anything that related to the family business.
Additionally, in the future, he was no longer going to be a member of the elders council. This was something that most of the people were proud of once they were given the chance to be one.
At the end of the day, not everyone in the family could become a member of the elders council. As such, there was just the elect few that had the chance of getting the position.
Those that occupied the top of the elders panel were those that came from the family of the current family head. A good example of that was Benjamin.
Since it was his elder brother that had taken the position of the family head, he had gotten the chance to become the second in command in the family due to the relationship that he had with Hesbon.
With Nathan's relationship with both Arthur and Jack, he could have managed to get a very good position as long as either of them managed to acquire the position of the family head.
As for Anita, she was never counted in such a family that thought highly of only the male child.
Apart from that, they had also decided that, all the assets that were under his name to immediately be removed under him. Then, they had made sure that he would no longer access anything that would link him to the outside world.

Jack's life had been quite different all this time. He had continued training Celine, who never ceased to amaze him with how fast she improved.
She had managed to grasp so many things that he had taught her. And of course, for her to complete her training, some gangsters had to suffer.
As such, the two of them continued with their routine of going around the city, looking for the gangsters before Celine beat them up.
And if there was one that managed to wound Celine or he talked to her in a not so proper manner, then he would make sure to give that guy a good beating after Celine was done with them.
That was just how he did things. Although he was protective of her, it wasn't to the extent that he would try to hinder her progress when it came to training that concerned her real life.
Due to the two of them, there were now even less gangsters present in the city. Unknowingly, everyday, there would be a group of gangsters that would be taken to the hospital with several broken bones or were unconscious.
This was how Celine did things. She would become ruthless to those that dared to do something that she didn't like. As for those that she had provoked first, she would simply give them a beating before leaving them unconscious.
The police that were In charge of making rounds around the city, to try and prevent several cases that usually happened everyday were stunned as days moved on.
During the first two weeks, they had noticed that the number of gangsters in the streets had suddenly reduced.
This was quite unusual to them because they had tried several times to go around, making sure that the number of criminal cases in the streets went down. In the end, they only managed to find a temporary solution, whereby, they patrolled around the city at night.
In the end, this was only temporary. The gangsters had managed to make the patrols useless by having some people watch.
Once they noticed that the police were coming over, several phone calls would be made. Furthermore, there were even some of them that tried provoking the police when they were making the calls.
"Hey guys, the cops are coming over. They seem to be looking for you."
"Bro, some cops are heading your way. They want to play around with you. Do you want to join them?"
Statements like those were made once in a while. The police could tell that they were trying to help each other out. But in the end, they could not arrest them simply because they thought that the other party was actually preventing them from completing their tasks.
"Officer Olivia, do you perhaps know what's going on? According to what we are used to, we can always arrest at least five gangs that were committing some crime somewhere."
"Then, last week, we could only get three gangs. But now, it's so hard to get a single gang that us committing a crime at this moment."
"Although this should be something that we should be happy about, I doubt that we can be happy without even knowing why there are a few gangsters in the streets with each passing day."
"And, I would be a fool to believe that they would be turning over a new leaf at this moment, after all, there is nothing that they are going to do that would require a large number of gangsters at all."
Inside a police vehicle, there were two police officers. One a male and the other was a beautiful lady with a valiant expression on her face.
The male police officer had short black hair, grey eyes and a well-shaven chin.
As for the lady, she had her long hair tied into a ponytail. She looked dashing in her police uniform.
Currently, she had a cold expression on her face. As for whether she was listening to the blabbering of the guy beside her or not, that was something that only she knew.
She was seated on the passenger seat of the car. They were on the night patrol that day. She was Olivia Desmond, and the guy that was driving was her partner, Brandon.
The two of them were amongst the several others that were in charge of doing round trips to make sure that they would be able to reduce the criminal cases during the nights.
Brandon, being a partner of such a beautiful lady, he was of course happy. And, he would do everything that he could to make sure that he got to her good side.
If he could, he really would have wished to date her. But, he knew that he was not going to make his moves that easily due to Olivia's background.
Her father was the police commissioner of the police force of Kartu city. As such, whoever dared to mess with her, then that person was bound to not have an easy life in the city.
"They cannot be reforming. There is someone that is going around beating gangsters at this moment. I have done investigation and have found that, recently, the hospitals have been receiving a lot of visitors."
"Furthermore, most of the people that were taken there were the ones that had broken bones or something along the line." Olivia spoke.
Her voice was nice to the ears, other that the emotionless tone that the voice contained. It would make the person feel chills running down their spine rather than be impressed by the voice.
Brandon stared at Olivia with widened eyes. In his mind, he cursed, 'F*ck, there goes my chance that I could have used to look cool. Now, I look like a fool for not trying to investigate something like this before.'
As he cursed, he forgot to look at where he was heading to and he was the driver at that moment.
"Can you look at where you are heading to when you are driving? Try to make sure that you don't divert your attention from the road when you are driving. Otherwise, I will have to arrest you once you dare to do something like that again." Olivia stated coldly.
Only when he heard her words did Brandon remember that he was driving. Lucky for them, the road was quite clear at that moment.
'Damn, there goes another chance again. Why am I making a fool out of myself again and again? This can't happen again!' Brandon swore in his heart.
At the same time, he was wondering what type of partner Olivia was that she could actually arrest him, her partner. Weren't partners supposed to have each other's back?
"Stop there!" Olivia shouted urgently.
Because he was still deep in thought, Brandon failed to do as she had asked. So, Olivia and to repeat herself again, this time, she was louder.
"I said stop the car already!" Olivia shouted as she looked at Brandon with a frown on her face.
When Brandon came to his senses, he didn't think twice before he stepped on the breaks as he swerved the car to the side of the road.
The tires screeched due to the abruptness of Brandon pressing the breaks. Furthermore, he had pressed emergency breaks.
Once the car stopped, Olivia threw Brandon a displeased gaze before she unbuckled the seatbelt and jumped out of the car.
Since the car had stopped a distance from the place that she had wanted, she was forced to run.
Brandon followed behind her. And although he was a male, he was actually slower than Olivia. She was someone that was stronger than him because she had been training how to fight since she was young.
As a result, she was actually stronger than most men. Although he wasn't happy that he was weaker than she was, he had no choice but to run after her.
When they entered an alleyway, Olivia suddenly stopped as she looked in front of her.
Brandon was puzzled by why she had stopped. But, the moment that he looked in front of him, he actually saw something that made him have his jaw hanging wide open.
