Salute To The General

Chapter 2685

Later that afternoon, a sedan could be seen parked outside the airport with a hundred black Rolls- Royces behind it.

A total of four hundred men in suits stood on both sides of the cars, and the entrance of the airport had also been surrounded by a large group of men.

It was such a grand display that all the passers-by stopped just to see what was going on.

“Whoa! That is a huge amount of people!”

“Did something happen?”

“It looks like they're welcoming a VIP or something!”

While everyone was discussing among themselves, an elderly man stepped out of the airport's entrance.

The man had a slender frame, high cheekbones, sunken sockets, and a sharp gaze in his eyes.

With his walking cane in hand and a huge group of men following closely behind, he made his way through the crowd.

“Oh, my goodness! I can't believe it!

Mr. Freeman is back!” a senior citizen standing in the crowd exclaimed in shock when he saw the old man.

“Who is Mr. Freeman?” the others in the crowd asked in unison.

The senior citizen then told them all about Nelson's past, especially focusing on how great he used to be. “I heard Mr. Freeman is planning on making a powerful return to compete for the position of

the president! However, instead of going against Hansel like he used to, his opponent will be the current Chief Military Governor! Tsk, tsk... I wonder who will win this battle...” Unable to hold it in any longer, the people in the crowd expressed their support for Nathan due to his amazing achievements as the Chief Military Governor.

However, the senior citizen disagreed with their statement. “It is indeed an indisputable fact that the Chief Military Governor is superior on the battlefield, but how capable is he when it comes to managing a country? I believe that Mr. Freeman is more experienced in this sort of thing, so he may be better suited for the role of president. Nobody is perfect, after all. Everyone has things they are good at and things they aren't good at. Wouldn't you guys agree?

The crowd didn't really agree with him since they had no idea who Nelson was, but they kept quiet as they couldn't argue with his statement either.

Nelson broke into a gleeful grin when he overheard their conversation.

As he arrived next to the sedan, his nephew and trusted subordinate, Fabio, helped open the door and said respectfully, “After you, Uncle Nelson."

Nelson nodded at him as he got into the car.

Fabio then sat down beside him and ordered the chauffeur to start driving.

Just like that, the convoy left the airport and headed in the direction of the city.

Hmm... This place sure has changed a lot... It's still a little backward compared to the more advanced countries, though. Ah, I can't wait till I become president!

Nelson thought to himself as he glanced at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window.

Recalling his old rival Hansel, he asked, “Hey, Fabio. How is Hansel

doing now?”

“Things grew quiet ever since he stepped down. The only reason people still remember him is that his favorite student Nathan still visits him often. The people that were walking next to you at the airport are high-ranking officials from various countries. On top of that, you're also friends with country leaders from all over the world. There's no way Hansel could possibly come close to your level, Uncle Nelson.”

Nelson burst out laughing when he heard about the pathetic state of his rival. “Hahaha! Really? Well, serves him right!”

Fabio laughed along with him before asking softly, “What will you do next now that you're back in Eurasia, Uncle Nelson?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Nelson replied calmly, “I will first need to let everyone know that I, Nelson Freeman, have returned. Before the election of a president, all of Brimmopolis' prominent families as well as representatives from all industries will gather around at Drakontos Resort to mingle and exchange their thoughts. This gathering is also known as the 'Drakontos Party,' and it will be held on Drakontos Mountain tomorrow. You will arrange for me to make a grand appearance at the party. I want all of Brimmopolis to know that I am back. Once they realize how powerful I have become, they will choose to support me instead!”

“Understood, I'll see to it right away,” Fabio replied.

Nelson nodded. “Very good!"
