Salute To The General
Chapter 2005

Chapter 2005

Penny, Kylie, and Queenie sighed a breath of relief after Dennis and Tyranno were taken away.

Nathan grinned and promised, "It's fine now. Let's go."

Penny nodded and replied, "Okay."

Everyone returned to their respective rooms. On the way over, Penny asked curiously, "How did you know that something is off about Dennis?" Nathan grinned and answered, “That idiot has a strange look in his eyes, and it's obvious that he is up to no good. Add that to the plot holes in his story, and it was easy to guess that there is something off about him. Turns out, I was right and didn't accuse an innocent man."

Penny and Kylie were both stunned.

Nathan advised calmly, "You ladies should be warier of random, nice guys showing up. Villains are everywhere, and the smart ones are the worst."

Penny and Kylie nodded in agreement. "Con artists nowadays are getting more and more creative. It's really difficult to tell who's genuinely nice anymore," commented Kylie.

Back in the hotel room.

Nathan sat down on the sofa and asked Penny how the first gathering of the summer camp went. "Was it fun?" asked Nathan.

Penny replied with a grin, "It's just a normal meal and regular interactions with the other parents. Oh, the kids will be playing a game together tomorrow morning, and at night, there will be a campfire party. Parents are requested to attend the party with the kids, and every parent must perform on stage. Nathan, I'm no good at performing, so you'll have to do it, okay?"

Kylie giggled and teased, "Nathan is a master of all sorts of artistic and musical stuff. To him, performing on stage is probably as easy as counting his fingers. Am I right, Nathan?"

Nathan used to be from a rich family and had learned to play some musical instruments. However, he never enjoyed performing publicly, so he was a little hesitant.

Queenie's big, round eyes stared with anticipation when she requested, "Papa, I really want you to put on a brilliant performance in front of the other kids and their parents. I want to show them I have an incredible dad."

Nathan didn't know what to do.

He probably would've refused if anyone else were to make that request, but his precious daughter was the one who asked. He didn't hesitate to reply, "Okay, I will simply perform in front of everyone tomorrow."

However...

Queenie had her tiny face held up high as she instructed with a straight face on, "Papa, the teacher said that parents must perform with their heart and soul. You can't be half-hearted, okay?"

Nathan grinned and promised, "Okay, okay. I promise I will take it seriously."

I

Kylie snickered and chimed in, "Don't worry, Queenie, I will keep an eye on your dad and make sure that he presents his best self in front of everyone else. That'll get the other kids, parents, and teachers to be envious of how great your papa is.”

Queenie smiled and clapped happily before cheering, "Yay! Promise you'll keep watch of my papa, okay?"

Kylie grinned and replied, "Okay."

Nathan and Penny couldn't help smiling as well.

The next day.

Penny and Queenie participated in the summer camp's activity. Nathan was worried about Penny being in danger again, so he had Ava work as Penny's personal bodyguard for the day.

They were in Brimmopolis, after all, and Nathan had a lot of enemies there. He needed to be careful to prevent any incidents from happening- Nathan was drinking his tea and reading his newspaper when the afternoon rolled by.

Kylie couldn't stand it anymore, so she sat opposite Nathan and glared at him with her brown eyes.

Nathan tilted his head up and was taken aback. "Kylie, what's wrong?" asked Nathan.

Kylie replied sternly, "Nathan, you will be performing at the campfire party tonight, and you've already promised Queenie that you will treat this show in a serious manner. So, have you thought about what you'll be performing?"

Nathan grinned and replied, "That's an easy issue to deal with. I'll just play the piano."
