Salute To The General -
Chapter 1683
Chapter 1683
After Nathan, Penny and Kylie left the hotel, they made their way to the White House.
It was the First Lady's car he was driving after all. Not only did he crash it but someone had smashed it as well.
Therefore, even though the car wasn't seriously damaged, he still owed her an apology.
In addition, it was only appropriate for Nathan and his wife to visit the First Lady after coming to Brimmopolis.
Camilla was dressed in a green embroidered robe as she welcomed both Nathan and his wife.
Upon knowing that her car was damaged under Nathan's care, she wasn't angry at all but responded with a smile instead. “Don't worry. It'sjust a car, just make sure Ms. Smith is fine.”
She knew that Hansel had been wanting to arrange for Nathan to join the Cabinet before retiring from his position.
She was also clear that Nathan wouldn't leave Brimmopolis anytime soon. Therefore, it was her intention for Nathan to interact more with the noblesand the elites of the city.
Even though Nathan was a General, he was promoted too fast and rarely communicated with the elites in Brimmopolis because he had beenguarding the North all these time. Many people in Brimmopolis might have heard of the General of the North but no one knew him personally.
Camilla smiled while saying to Nathan, “You and Penny have arrived at the right time. Foreign Minister of Xyperia. Leigh will be visiting Eurasia withhis men and we'll be hosting a massive reception for them. By that time, many elites will be attending as well, the both of you are welcomed to join.
Nathan couldn't help but feel a little surprised to hear that the Foreign Minister of Xyperia would be visiting.
It was said that Eurasians were descendants of dragons while Xyperians were descendants of elephants.
Both countries were ancient civilizations with a very old and long history.
Throughout the years, Xyperia was at an inferior standing compared to Eurasia and they had always acknowledged Eurasia's superiority with respect.However, Xyperia grew tired of it and wanted to outshine Eurasia by competing with them all the
time.
As a result, a great war broke out between Xyperia and Eurasia, and Xyperia was eventually defeated very badly.
After Eurasia won the battle, they did not parade their victory but maintain the decency and composure of a great nation instead
However, Xyperia being the losing party, was unwilling to submit. Claiming that the North of Eurasia belonged to them. they tried to invade the nationrepeatedly.
Furthermore, Xyperia had always compared their ancestry and wanted to prove that they were the stronger party.Recently, Xyperia had made another attempt by staging their army at the border to invade the North once more.
As of now, Xyperia's Foreign Minister, Leigh and his men decided to pay a visit to Eurasia, presumably for the same reason.
Nathan said, “Madam, Leigh is alsoknown as Iron Fist and famous forbeing powefful and domineering. I'mafraid thatiis visit to Eurasia is tocdip his.t9és in the water to observe ifwe are prepared for another watwith’them. At the same time, theywant to replace out if we haveanyintention to start a war with them,right?” Narugi.Org
Camilla nodded, “Xyperia is reallykeen to challenge us by invading andtaking possession of the North. Eventhough theyare ambitious, they ~don't dare to act recklessly knowingthat weare not to be messed with. Itis Clear that in Leigh's visit this-time,heis going to show his strength andtest our boundaries. As the Generalof the North, you should attend thereception tomorrow night sinceyou're here in Brimmopolis. It wouldbe best to let these Xyperian knowthat
they should not mess with Eurasia.
Nathan uttered, “I've heard of Leigh and wanted to meet him for a very long time, but I never have the chance. This would be a great opportunitythen. I will definitely attend the reception tomorrow night to welcome these foreign friends.”
It turned out that Leigh was a typical Xyperian war aficionado and a member of the warring party as well.
Two years ago, Leigh wasannouncing allover Xyperia that hewanted to igvade Eurasia and takingpossession of the North by <chopping off the head of Eurasia’sGod of War. Furthermore, hedeclared to the whole worldshat theNarth belonged to Xyperiadnd alsothe fact that their line of ancestrywas greater than Eurasia.
Nathan had been waiting for a long time to finally meet the madman whe had claimed that he was wanting to invade the North and retrieving Nathan'shead.
The following day, Nathan and Penny toured around Brimmopolis.She dragged him into a high-end clothing store to pick out a suit for him so that he could attend the reception in a decent manner.
Nathan said perplexedly. “It's just a reception, I can just attend in my usual clothes. Why do I need to buy special attires for it?”
Penny replied with a smile, “It's only decent to dress appropriately while attending a reception.”
Nathan flipped through the tailored suit's price tags casually and realized they were all priced around hundreds of thousands while some even costmillions.
It wasn't that he didn't have the money, but he wasn’t an advocate of splurging either.Therefore, he couldn't help but frown after the sight of that. “Aren't the clothes here too expensive?Penny brought Nathan to the shop after replaceing out about it online because this shop was said to house the best suits
She knew that Nathan wasn't the flamboyant or splurging type of person, hence she said softly, “Then, let's pick something cheaper instead of buyingthe expensive ones.”
After Penny finished, she turned to a female shop assistant next to her and asked, “Hello, do you have men's suits that are slightly cheaper?Right at that moment, a sharp sarcastic voice rang out, “Ah, I thought you looked familiar. Isn'tthis my cousin, Penny!”
Nathan, Penny, and Kylie turned around simultaneously with their brows furrowed and saw a young woman who was all fashionably dolled up indesigner clothes. That woman turned out to be Penny's cousin, Hayley Sanders.
