Salute To The General



By the time Nathan came to Sublime Room, Penny had already ordered. She handed the menu to Nathan and asked if he wanted anything else.

After taking a glance at the menu, Nathan smiled and replied, "You've ordered most of it. We're just missing a soup. Let's order a black soup. I heard that the black soup here is not bad."

While Nathan and his family were placing their orders in a private room, a middle-aged man with a beer belly walked up the stairs with two of his subordinates and entered the room beside Nathan's.

That man was Sigurd Goodall's trusted subordinate. His name was Odert, and his nickname was Tubby Tabby.

Just as Odert brought two of his subordinates into the room, the server came over to serve tea and asked politely, "Sirs, would you like to order now?" Odert said coldly, "We're waiting for a few others to come. I'll summon you when we need to order. Don't enter and disturb us otherwise. Here's a tip for you."

With that said, he took out five hundred in cash and placed it on the server's tray.

The server's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Of course, of course. Please take a seat, good sirs, and please press the button to summon for me at any time. I'll be right here."

Odert waved him away. "You're dismissed."

The server soon left.

After Odert locked the door from the inside, he whispered to his subordinates, "Let's get to work." The two men placed the suitcases in their hands on the table. Once they opened it, the listening devices were exposed to the air.

The two men swiftly put on the headphones, seemingly trained. Then they placed the listening devices against the wall.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

The next second, they could hear Nathan and his family's conversation clearly.

Odert slowly took a seat and crossed his leg before sipping on the tea. He lazily instructed, "Remember to turn on the recording function and record everything they're saying. I hope we'll be able to filter out some useful things from there."

"Yes, Sir!"

While Odert and the others were eavesdropping on Nathan and his family, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Immediately, Odert's subordinates turned to look at their superior.

A furious look appeared on Odert's plump face.

He put down

his cup and yelled at the one outside, "Didn't I say that we

were waiting for our friends to arrive? We'll only be ordering after our friends are here. I've already told you not to disturb us until I ask for you!"

The one outside did not speak, but they knocked on the door again.

Odert fumed. He jumped to his feet and walked over to the door. As he reached out to open the door, he cursed, "Do you not speak Peking human?" He had planned to only open the door a little so that he could drive the server away.

However, just as he stuck his head out, he blinked in shock.

As it turned out, the one outside was not the server but a large man. He had eight subordinates standing with stiff, straight spines behind him. The nine men in front of Odert looked menacing.

Odert was in charge of leading his team to look into Nathan. Naturally, he knew who those nine men were- they were Nathan's National Guards. He looked at the expressionless Colin and the Elite Eight behind him and swallowed a lump in his throat. "May

I... May I ask what can I help you with?"

Instead of answering him, Colin raise his hand and pushed open the door.

Odert had initially only opened the door a little, but Colin barged his way in.

The force of his push nearly made Odert fall.

At that very moment, Odert was stunned and livid.

Meanwhile, his subordinates had swiftly taken off their headphones in fright when they saw Colin entering with the Elite Eight. Instinctively, they began hiding the devices behind them.

After Colin entered, one of the Elite Eight locked the door.

Colin pulled a chair out to sit on it before landing his gaze on Odert and his men. In a cold tone, he said,

"Brave men, the few of you. Ho"

dare you stalk and eavesdrop on the Chief Military Governor? Whosent you here?"

Odert paled drastically. He quickly denied, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know who you are. Please leave right away."
