In just a few minutes, Lionel also rushed over after receiving Elliot's order, eagerly trailing alongside Elliot.
"Elliot, are you suspecting that Nathaniel took advantage of Sheena's vulnerability and did something bad to her or even hid her away?"
Elliot remained silent, his face grim as he walked ahead, clearly thinking along those lines.
Lionel sighed, speaking from the heart, "Elliot, Nathaniel has helped us before. You even aided him in taking down the Nicholls family's control. He's been behaving himself all these years and even has a girlfriend.
"He shouldn't… be capable of such actions."
Lionel's voice grew fainter as he spoke as he was also doubtful of his own words.
However, he had known Nathaniel for so many years and even fought him in the past, always bantering like old friends.
Lionel did not want Nathaniel to do anything reckless, like the S404 biochemical incident years ago.
He did not want Nathaniel to end up back in prison.
Elliot noticed Lionel appeared conflicted and stopped in his tracks.
His gaze was cold as he stared at Lionel, asking, "How well do you really know Nathaniel? How can you be so sure?"
Lionel lowered his head, remaining silent.
"In the beginning, I thought he was willing to be Asher and Adora's godfather to let go of the past, to let go of his obsession with Sheena and live his own life. But as soon as Sheena was in trouble, he was as anxious as me. If he finds Sheena before me, do you really think he won't do something absurd?"
Lionel could not argue with that, quietly lowering his head.
Elliot's voice was stern as he instructed, "Call him right here in front of me. Let's hope it's just my paranoia."
"Yes…"
Lionel took out his phone and dialed Nathaniel's number, putting it on speaker in front of Elliot and Lance.
Lance quickly instructed the tech department to start GPS tracking.
As long as Nathaniel answered the call, the National Investigation Bureau could immediately monitor his location.
The phone rang as they waited.
Elliot sat grim-faced at the side while Lionel stood obediently.
No one spoke.
After more than a minute of ringing, the call was automatically disconnected, with no one answering.
Lionel's confidence wavered, realizing he could not defend Nathaniel any longer.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
