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 isa 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 theorganization after I joined them. But by then, I was already in too deep. It was too late for me toleave..."
"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 thingsfor them without fully realizing what I was doing. These weren't particularly significant matters, butbecause 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 theopportunity."
"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 aboutit. I need to know just how many families, companies, and politicians are involved. Are you willing tohelp me?" asked Nathan.
Morris froze for a second before answering, "General, with your connections, you could very easilyallocate 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. Ifthe General blatantly asks officials to look into The Omniscience, the members would easily findout. They would then simply sell off their assets and escape overseas with their money. Thesepeople 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 themembers of The Omniscience.
Morris hurriedly agreed. "I'm willing to atone for my sins and assist you in looking into TheOmniscience, General.”
Nathan nodded, and asked Morris to write out a list of all the people he knew who were involvedwith 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 whoweren't high on the social ladder.
They were just the little fishes instead of the ones whom Nathan was truly after.
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 reveredfamilies in the nation.
Nathan stared at Morris. "Why is Marcus Lane the only noteworthy name on your list? All the restare rather insignificant."
"Everything is run mysteriously in The Omniscience. Besides, they split members into differentgroups so it's easier for them to manage. The head of my group just happens to be Marcus Lane ofthe Saber clan." "Whenever the organization wants us to do something, they will tell us throughMarcus Lane."
Nathan narrowed his eyes. "In that case, if we want to dig up more information, Marcus Lane willhave to be our point of entry."
Meanwhile, in Glyngarth, Marcus Lane was on the phone with the supreme leader of TheOmniscience, Cicero Trumbo.
Cicero Trumbo was in a rage. "My son, William, has been detained. The embassy of Eagleland hasvoiced its protest many times but to no avail. They won't even let me see him! Marcus, you need toget 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 twomatters will be taken care of very soon."novelbin
"Great! I shall await your good news then," answered Cicero.
