Salute To The General
Chapter 3097

Nathan was watching the international news in Riverside Garden, Channing.

At that time, Eugene IV's announcement of the next Holy Maiden was being broadcasted on television.

Relieved, Penny said softly, "This is good. As long as Queenie doesn't have the Holy Maiden title attached to her, she is free from all the evil ones."

"And so it seems Pope Eugene kept his promise," Nathan said.

Colin could not help but ask, "Mr. Cross, the Curia called again. They wanted to know your decision."

Previously, Eugene IV had requested Nathan to help him reveal Max's identity as a vampire.

At that time, Nathan had said he would think about it.

After two days, Eugene IV's patient was running out. He eagerly wanted to know if Nathan would lend the Curia a hand.

Normally, Nathan would not be interested in regular matters, but the deal involved Max, an enemy of Eurasia and the mastermind behind the Eight-Nation Alliance. Besides, Max had turned into a dangerous vampire.

Nathan had the thought of getting rid of him to avoid dire consequences later.

He grunted and said to Colin, "I won't give a damn if it was somebody else, but Max is exceptionally dangerous. Tell Pope Eugene I can help the Curia to expose Max."

Colin responded, "Yes, Mr. Cross!"

Immediately, he contacted the Curia and conveyed Nathan's message.

Eugene IV was delighted that Nathan was willing to support him.

On the same day, he instructed Hepburn to lead a troop consisting of bishops, Holy Knights as well as the War Gods of the Light, Daveth and Betty, to depart discreetly in a private jet for Eurasia and meet Nathan.

It was already ten at night when Hepburn and the rest arrived in Channing, Eurasia.

After quickly settling down in the hotel, Hepburn went to see Nathan alongside Daveth and Betty.

She wanted to discuss how to enter Malarnor and reveal Max's true identity.

Nathan received his guests in the living room.

When everyone had taken their seats, the servant served them tea.

Hepburn thanked Nathan for his willingness to help out before sharing her plans.

Then, she took out a vintage but grand pistol. "This is Dictum, specially made by the Curia expert. It uses mithril. No vampires can withstand the power of this pistol, not even the vampire elites. If Max is hit by this weapon, his true form will be revealed. Our plan is to attack Max at the Eight-Nation Alliance Conference, expose him, and then take his life." Amused, Nathan said, "Your plan is... so simple but brutal."

Hepburn smiled and replied, "Actually, it's more effective when we keep things simple and straightforward, just like your fighting style, Mr. Cross. Although you apply the military training techniques, it's proven to be the most vicious and successful method." Both the War Gods of the Light concurred and joined Hepburn to compliment Nathan.

Nathan smiled politely. When he was about to ask them to stop flattering him, everyone heard Hepburn's stomach growl loudly.

At that embarrassing moment, a long silence ensued.

Hepburn blushed and said shyly, "We came here in a hurry and only had a quick bite on the plane. Please excuse my tummy for complaining."

Nathan could not hold back his laughter. "It's my fault for not taking care of you."

Having said that, he checked the time and realized it was already midnight.

"Come on. Let me treat you to some local specialties of Eurasia," he offered.

Nathan brought Colin, Hepburn, Daveth, and Betty to a stall by the roadside for supper.

He ordered some barbecue and a carton of beer.

Hepburn was the Holy Maiden, whereas Daveth and Betty were the War Gods of the Light. All of them usually enjoyed their meals in high-class restaurants. That was their first time visiting a stall by the roadside.

They thought it was an interesting experience and found the food delicious. Moreover, they were starving.

They kept clanking glasses with Nathan, exclaiming how tasty the street food in Eurasia was.

Nathan was very happy to see them enjoying their supper. He smiled and continued drinking his beer. Suddenly, he stared into the distance and frowned.
