Salute To The General

Chapter 2688

Many guests had arrived inside the grand hall.

All of them were well-dressed and looked distinguished. They were either leaders of large organizations or chairmen of conglomerates.

At that moment, the group of men with high positions swarmed a tall old man who was holding a walking cane. All of them greeted him with the utmost respect.

The elderly man was none other than Nelson Freeman.

He used to be someone legendary in the country a long time ago and was once Hansel's rival. As a result, he had a group of loyal followers within Eurasia.

He had returned to the country with great fanfare this time and secured the support of more than a hundred leaders of foreign nations in his bid to win the elections for Eurasia's president.

At that moment, many of the elderly guests felt that Nelson stood a good chance against Nathan. Therefore, all of them were extremely cordial towards the former.

After all, every single one of the distinguished guests was shrewd in their own right.

They never liked putting all their eggs in one basket and preferred to bet on both sides.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Even though they might feel that Nathan is the favorite, it didn't prevent them from establishing a close relationship with Nelson. By being on good terms with both sides, these prominent families would not lose out regardless of who won the elections.

In addition to securing overseas support, Nelson was brimming with confidence when he saw how the locals from all walks of life welcomed him warmly, to the extent he felt as if he was on cloud nine.

Just when he was basking in the glorious moment with his eyes narrowed, someone suddenly shouted, "Mr. Windsor is here."

The moment the crowd heard the news, they turned their attention to the entrance.

As the gloating smile on Nelson's face froze, he looked at the entrance with a grim expression.

There, Hansel sauntered in with

Camilla's support, while Kyler followed behind them.

"Mr. Windsor!"

"Welcome, Mr. Windsor!"

"Mr. Windsor, it's a pleasure to see you here!"

Just a moment ago, the crowd that worshiped Nelson gradually moved to greet Hansel.

Only a few die-hard followers remained by his side.

With a dramatic change in expression, Nelson realized that all those prominent figures were nothing more than sycophants who gravitated toward whoever was in power.

If he couldn't demonstrate his strength and authority at that moment, beating Nathan would be no more than a pipe dream.

Meanwhile, Nelson stared intently at his mortal rival from back in the day. Now that I'm back, I will first make an example out of you.

Holding that thought, Nelson regained his composure before leading Fabio and the rest of his subordinates to confront Hansel. Wearing an indiscernible smile, he greeted, “Hehe, Mr. Windsor, it's been a long time.”

Upon hearing Nelson's voice, Hansel

stopped his interactions with the crowd and turned his attention to Nelson. He then remarked in a nonchalant tone, "Mr. Freeman, it's a surprise to see you here. I have

assumed that you had migrated overseas. Did you come back for a holiday?"

Nelson answered, "I'm not here for pleasure. In fact, I came back to stand in the presidential elections. Mr. Windsor, on the account of our long relationship, I'm sure you will support me, won't you?"

Before Hansel could reply, Kyler couldn't control his emotions and derided, “Nelson, how can an expatriate like you stand in the presidential elections? Are you even worthy?"

Just as he spoke, the expressions of everyone present drastically changed, for Kyler had asked the burning question on everyone's mind but didn't have the courage to ask.

With a darkened expression, Nelson

asserted coldly, "Kid, I must first correct your words. Even though I've been living overseas, I have maintained my Eurasian citizenship.

Therefore, I'm not an SAC

most, I consider myself to have spent some time in a foreign country. Also, I have never been sacked."

At

"Therefore, I'm not only a citizen of Eurasia but also a member of the organization still. Furthermore, there are many who proposed and support my candidacy for president, reinforcing the legality of my status. Do you understand?"

As Hansel furrowed his brows, Kyler widened his eyes in shock. They had not expected Nelson to maintain his citizenship after staying overseas for such a long time.

Nelson sneered, "Also, who do you think you are to speak to me that way? You are nothing but an insolent brat!"

In that instant, Kyler's face puffed red in anger.

Suddenly, Fabio, who was standing beside Nelson, stepped forward and slapped Kyler on the face. Its impact was so forceful that blood oozed out from the corner of the latter's lips.

Fabio scoffed, "That slap is to punish you for your impudence."

Even though Kyler bore the brunt of the slap, it was also an attempt to humiliate Hansel and Camilla. Nelson stared at Hansel, whose expression had grown solemn, and sneered, "Mr. Windsor, my nephew has taught your man a lesson on your behalf. There's no need to thank me. Hahaha."
