Salute To The General
Chapter 3379 Thank You

Following Dido's victory, Senna's death, and the dispute over Wallera's inheritance, the rivalry between Nathan and Wolfric finally came to an end.

Wolfric no longer had any excuse to trouble Dido or disrupt Wallera's plans.

Nathan successfully managed to protect Dido, safeguarding his previous investments in Wallera. He also got his first share of the pie after the alliance's victory.

The next day, the celebration of the alliance's victory was held in full swing.

A grand victory parade was held, along with various award ceremonies.

As the commander-in-chief of the alliance and the heroic figure who single-handedly vanquished the Patriarch of the vampires, Nathan undoubtedly earned the most distinguished medals.

On this momentous day, headlines across the globe exclusively featured the alliance's triumph, accompanied by captivating images of Nathan, Eurasia's revered God of War, proudly adorned with his well-deserved medals.

At night, the alliance began to hold a celebratory banquet.

Country leaders and War Gods from various countries attended this grand victory feast.

In reality, this celebratory banquet served another crucial purpose: to deliberate on the distribution of the spoils of victory.

Every nation had its eyes set on claiming a share of the vampire-occupied territory.

Numerous factions engaged in an ongoing and fervent debate.

In contrast, Nathan chose not to partake in these discussions. Having already assisted Dido in the restoration of her own country and investing considerable manpower and resources in Wallera, Nathan now patiently awaited the growth and reciprocation of Wallera toward Eurasia.

He had obtained what he desired and was no longer interested in engaging in a contentious struggle over the remaining shares of the pie with Wolfric and others.

Thus, when everyone was engaged in a heated debate, Nathan quietly excused himself to use the restroom. He left the table silently and sat down on a bench in the corridor, smoking alone.

Suddenly, the clear sound of a woman's boots tapping on the floor echoed down the corridor.

Nathan looked up, only to see Hepburn, dressed in a battle skirt, approaching him.

Hepburn's eyes lit up when she spotted Nathan. "Mr. Cross, why aren't you inside? What brings you out here?"

Nathan smiled and said, "It's too noisy inside, so I came out for some peace."

Upon hearing this, Hepburn was even more astonished.

Nathan had served as the leader of the alliance, leading them to victory against the vampires and reclaiming the vampire-occupied territory. Additionally, he had given orders to Cross Group of Eurasia, resulting in the successful development of a serum to combat the blood virus. This serum was then distributed free of charge to people worldwide.

Nathan's invaluable contributions during this global catastrophe were undeniable and left an indelible mark on history.

Indeed, when the time came to distribute the spoils of victory, Nathan conspicuously abstained from participating in the discussions. This was an unusual decision.

Hepburn smiled and said, "While everyone else is inside fighting for their interests, you're out here because you replace it too noisy. I really don't know what to say about you." Nathan didn't respond to her question and changed the subject instead by asking, "How come you're here?"

Hepburn's lovely face flushed with a hint of shyness, but she gathered her courage and uttered something astonishing. "I've been waiting here just for you." What?

Nathan looked at Hepburn in astonishment.

It seemed Hepburn had also gone all out.

Her cheeks flushed as she said, "Mr. Cross, the alliance will disband tomorrow, and the War Gods from each country will return to their respective nations. I suppose you must be returning to Eurasia soon. When we part ways tomorrow, we don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again. Even if we do, we have no idea when that might be. So, before parting ways, I don't want to leave any regrets."

Nathan seemed to understand what she was trying to say. With a slight frown, he asked, "What regret?"

Hepburn nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, mustering the courage to say, "Actually, I like you. If I don't express this, I fear I might regret it later."

Having spoken those words, she raised her head with unexpected resolve, meeting Nathan's eyes directly.

A rosy blush adorned her face, and her fluttering eyelashes added to her captivating demeanor. However, her unwavering gaze was fixed solely on Nathan, her eyes shimmering with anticipation.

After expressing her love to Nathan, she eagerly awaited his response.

Nathan was completely stunned by Hepburn's confession of love.

However, in the following instant,

Nathan regained his composure, his

countenance turning serious. "Liking someone is a form of affection. It's not uncommon for a student to develop a fondness for a teacher, or

for a nurse to admire a doctor 4

But

fondness is distinct from love. I have

experienced it myself, and

understand the clear distinction

between fondness and love

because, in this world, I have a wife

whom I cherish deeply. I appreciate your fondness toward me."
