Salute To The General

Chapter 2844



Meanwhile, a grand dinner was happening at Newcove's Lyre Hotel.

Newcove's mayor, Mueller, was busy greeting Nathan and Penny with some big shots and politicians from the city.

Nathan briefly returned their greetings before finding a quiet spot to have a drink and a chat with Mueller.

Before Mueller became the mayor of Newcove, he had served in the military.

He had almost lost his life during a terrorist attack at an international military convention, where he had led a troop from Ariarica.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Back then, Nathan had represented Eurasia at the same military convention.

Nathan had saved Mueller's life, and that was how their friendship began.

It was also the reason Nathan was treated like royalty during his visit to Newcove.

Mueller smiled at Nathan and said, "Mr. Cross, so many things have changed in recent years. I didn't know you would become Commander-In- Chief of the North Army and now the president of Eurasia."

Returning his smile, Nathan replied, "You're not doing too shabby yourself. You were just a colonel back then, but now you're the mayor of Newcove." That drew a bout of laughter from Mueller. "Well, I was voted mayor by the residents of Newcove."

“The Eurasian people voted for me too," came Nathan's response.

They both laughed for a good while before Mueller turned serious and said, "I've never forgotten how you saved my life, Mr. Cross. Now that you're finally in Newcove, please don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything during your stay in our city. As long as it's not illegal or harmful to our country, I'll do my best to fulfill your request."

After hearing his kind words, Nathan raised his glass and sipped some wine before replying, “In that case, I'll go straight to the point, Mueller. Frankly, I do need your favor on a matter.”

Mueller was taken aback by Nathan's reply.

His earlier words had been more of a formality than anything else.

After all, Nathan was the president of a country, and he undoubtedly had everything he desired at his fingertips. He hardly needed the help of someone as inconsequential as the mayor of Newcove.

To his utter shock, Nathan did have a favor to ask, and Mueller's guard immediately went up.

Cautiously, Mueller stated, "Mr. Cross, what do you need my help with?

Once again, I can't do anything that will harm my country!"

Nathan chuckled to himself.

Mueller is as cunning and shrewd as ever.

He quickly smiled and reassured the mayor, "Don't worry. I'm not asking you to do anything illegal. You can't possibly think I'm going to ask you to betray your country and sell me national secrets, right?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Mueller's imagination had indeed gone in that direction. I'm actually worried about the extent of your favor because you saved my life.

Of course, he dared not voice his suspicions to Nathan, not in a million years.

Instead, he guffawed and said, "You wouldn't ask me to do such things, Mr. Cross. And I wouldn't do them anyway, even if you asked. Well then, tell me more about this favor."

Nathan raised his hand and waved Kraven over.

Then, he pointed at the man and explained, "This person is someone who's like my uncle, Mr. Macalister. He is also an old servant of my master, Lothar Macmaster. My master abruptly left Eurasia years ago to handle an urgent matter traveling to your country, Ariarica. After that, we lost all contact with him. We care for him a great deal

and would like to track him down. However, were not familiar with this place and don't really know where to start. So I'd like to ask for your help in tracking my master down, Mueller." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

A manhunt?

Despite his surprise, Mueller readily agreed to help Nathan.

"I was bracing myself for a Herculean task. I didn't know you just wanted me to look for someone."

Then, Mueller summoned a subordinate and instructed him to collect Lothar's personal information from Kraven in preparation for an extensive investigation.

Mueller's subordinate arrived and quickly led Kraven away.

After that, Mueller smiled at Nathan and promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Cross. My subordinate will record all relevant personal information about your master, including his physical appearance. I'll tap my connections to find your master. I've still got a widework in Ariarica, so'm sure we'll get some news on his

whereabouts soon, and I'll keep you posted on the developments." Content belongs to

Relieved, Nathan shot him a smile and said, "Then let me thank you in advance, Mueller. Please accept this toast as an expression of my gratitude."

Mueller hurriedly raised his glass. “Sure. Let's toast!"

They emptied their glasses just as Colin rushed over, a grave expression on his face.

He held a phone in his hand and whispered to Nathan, "There has been bad news, President Cross. Ava's in trouble."

Nathan's expression instantly darkened.
