The Luna Is Gone (Diana and Nathan) by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 94 

Diana’s pov 

After entering The Enchantment, Nathan and I headed straight to the stairs leading to the fourth floor. 

There were still the two men–one with gray hair and the other green. 

At this moment, the two were lazily leaning on the handrail of the stairs chatting. “Hey, bro.” Approaching the staircase, I proactively greeted those two guys. 

Suddenly, the two of them put away their lazy expressions and looked at Nathan and me with alert eyes. 

“What are you doing?” The gray haired asked fiercely. 

“Picking up the goods.” I pointed to my face and said, “We’ve met. Don’t you remember?” 

The gray haired looked up and down at Nathan and me. A few seconds later, he patted his head. His vigilance suddenly disappeared from his eyes, and he said, “Oh! It’s you guys.” 

I nodded repeatedly. 

“Wait a moment.” After the gray haired finished speaking, he turned around and gestured to the green haired. The green haired immediately turned around and walked upstairs. 

I guessed he went to consult the assistant who was with Jason last time. 

At this moment, I took the initiative to approach the gray haired and let out a sigh, “The check is really strict.” 

Upon hearing this, he coughed twice, immediately stood up straight and said sternly, “Of course, you know what kind of business we’re doing. There are so many people in the bar every day. If we don’t check it strictly, there might be trouble for us.” 

“Are there many people coming to pick up the goods?” I asked. 

“Not particularly,” The gray haired looked at me with confusion. “Why are you asking this?” 

“It’s nothing,” I smiled. “I just wanted to inquire about the price. You know we’re doing business. The lower the cost, the better.” 

The gray haired snorted coldly twice, “Our boss sets prices uniformly. Everyone gets the goods at the same price.” 

“Well…” I asked, “Are all the goods produced by Mr. Dunham?” 

“Of course not.” He rolled his eyes and said, “Our boss is just a bar owner. How could he know how to make such things? He must have purchased it from a contractor.” 

My heart tightened and I looked up at Nathan. 

Nathan immediately followed the gray haired’s words and asked, “Contractor? Is it a manufacturer?” 

“It must be a manufacturer. What else can it be?” The gray haired snorted, “So you don’t have to worry about our boss raising the price for you. Our boss is the only one between you and the manufacturer. We’ve already given you a low price.” 

Nathan and I looked at each other again. 

If we could find out who the manufacturer is, wouldn’t we be able to uncover the mastermind of Gummy Skull? 

“Can we purchase directly from the manufacturer?” Nathan asked again. 

The gray haired laughed mercilessly this time and said, “Don’t daydream. You think everyone is qualified to purchase from the manufacturer?” 

“How do you know if you don’t even try?” Nathan said as he stuffed a thick stack of banknote into the gray haired. “If we know who the manufacturer is, wouldn’t we be 

able to get the goods at a lower price? When we make money, we definitely won’t miss you, brother.” 

Bribing Jason’s subordinates was a solution I had discussed with Nathan before entering the bar. 

“Um…” The gray haired looked at the pile of money and licked his lips, “It’s not that I don’t want to earn this money. But our boss has given an order not to reveal the identity of the manufacturer.” 

Nathan stuffed twice the amount of money into his palm. 

“If we both don’t say it, who knows it was you who leaked the secret?” 

The gray haired swallowed, struggled for about half a minute, but under the temptation of money, he still chose to compromise. 

“Okay, I can tell you. Actually, I also happened to meet him from a distance with our boss by chance. He looks quite kind, and I heard those people call him 

“What are you talking about?” 

Just as the gray haired was about to say the name, a voice suddenly came from above the stairs. 

It was the assistant who followed Jason last time. 

The gray haired was startled and quickly stuffed the banknotes into his jacket pocket. He exclaimed in shock, “Nothing, nothing… They are inquiring about the bottom price for our purchases here.” 

“Yes,” I quickly agreed. “We’re just curious if this cost can be lower.” 

The male assistant glanced lightly at the gray haired and then at Nathan and me. He didn’t answer my question, but said coldly, “Come with me.” 

Nathan and I only found out when we went upstairs that Jason was not at the bar today. 

After the assistant handed us a new batch of Gummy Skull, he asked us to leave quickly. 

During this period, I also tried to communicate with him. 

But what was different from that gray haired was that he always remained silent. 

The only thing he said to us before we left was – if you want to live, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask 

We could only hope for the gray haired. 

However, to our surprise, when we went downstairs, the gray haired man 

disappeared and was replaced by a cold faced man holding a Thompson submachine gun. 

I tried to ask him where the gray haired was. 

He gave me a fierce glare, and the next second, the cold muzzle hit my forehead. 

“Leave!” He roared angrily. 

Nathan immediately grabbed my wrist and pulled me behind him. 

“Let’s go first,” Nathan whispered. 

I nodded and quickly left the bar with Nathan through the back door. 

“Damn it!” 

After coming out of the bar, I couldn’t help but curse. 

“Almost there!” I yelled, “We almost knew the manufacturer of Gummy Skull!“! 

I was so angry that I gasped for breath. “Now, all we can do is find that gray haired. You…” 

My voice paused, and I noticed that Nathan was looking at something with an extremely serious expression. 

Following his gaze, I turned around and was in a cold sweat from fear. 

In the nearby trash can…one foot was inserted upside down inside. 

Next to the trash can, there was a black Nike shoe with crimson blood on it. 

“That shoe is…” I dared not say further. 

Nathan walked quickly to the trash can, looked down inside, and let out a sigh. 

“It’s him.” Nathan revealed the identity of the dead, “That gray haired guy.” 

I almost couldn’t stand firm. 

“He didn’t even tell us who the manufacturer was… Why?” 

Nathan looked up at the brightly lit bar. 

“For the people inside, he doesn’t need to really leak the secret. As long as he is a little suspicious, it is enough to sentence him to death.” 

I covered my mouth and said, “It was I… I killed him. 

“Diana, it’s none of your business.” Nathan walked up to me and grabbed my shoulder with both hands. “You know, he’s not innocent. He’s also a part of the dark industry. Even if he survives, he will still die when the judgment comes.” 

“But…” 

I knew Nathan was right, but I still felt a haze in my heart that couldn’t be dispelled. 

“Diana.” A dry hand brushed against my long hair and I heard Nathan say, “I really believe you’re not the one who hurt Avia.” 

I looked up in surprise. 

Nathan’s throat rolled, with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes, including doubt, confusion, and guilt… 

“You even shed tears for a guy who deserves death. You’re so kind… If I really wronged you, would you forgive me? Is there still a possibility between us?” 

I took a sudden step back and distanced myself from Nathan. 

“Nathan, calm down.” I took a deep breath, “Don’t forget. Whether I’m the culprit who hurt Avia or not, you’re going to get engaged to her. You said it, there’s no possibility between us anymore. Just this afternoon. Did you forget?” 

“I-” 

“Shut up!” I didn’t give Nathan a chance to continue, “Actually, this is also my idea. Regardless of what the truth is, I don’t want to be entangled with you anymore. It’s foolish to endure the same pain twice. If it’s three times, then I deserve it! The top priority is to find out the manufacturer of Gummy Skull. As for our matter, there’s no need to talk about it anymore.” 

Nathan closed his eyes. 

“I know.” He said in a hoarse voice. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had regained the composure. “The death of this man is a warning. It’s almost impossible 

to ask Jason’s subordinates who the manufacturer is again, but…” 

“But there is always someone who is not afraid of death!” 

A strange voice answered Nathan’s words. 

Nathan and I both looked in the direction of the sound. 

A middle–aged man with a big belly wearing a black leather coat was walking towards us.
