Salute To The General

Chapter 2683

Nelson nodded politely at everyone present in the room.

Despite his calm behavior, he was actually feeling incredibly excited on the inside. This whole situation was reminding him of the time he competed with Hansel back in the day.

Thanks to my huge network in Eurasia, I have a great reputation among Eurasians living abroad. It wouldn't even be an understatement to say that all countries with Eurasians in them know of my legend! Max has promised that Ariarica would convince its dozens of allied countries to support my return to Eurasia for the presidential position. On top of that, most of the older members of the Cabinet have retired, and the newly-appointed president Garrett has died of his illness as well! The Cabinet had been at war with the military, resulting in the deaths of Erwin and Will, both of which are the more capable ones. The current president is Nathan, a young soldier in his early thirties. When the cat's away, the mice will play. If a young brat like Nathan can be made president, then my return would surely be welcomed by my supporters! Couple all that with the external support from over a hundred of Ariarica's allied countries, and one could even say the whole world is looking forward to my return! Taking down a brat like Nathan and becoming president is going to be a piece of cake!

A gleeful smile formed on Nelson's face at the thought of that.

The representatives from the other countries all expressed their support for Max's plan after hearing about it. They also promised to have their allied countries provide Nelson with their full support.

Feeling satisfied, Nelson deliberately put on a humble attitude as he said, “Thank you all for the assistance and support. I will never forget what you are doing for me.”

Meanwhile, Nathan had spent the entire day working in the White House ever since he became the acting president.

On top of his existing duties in the military, he also had to manage the country's affairs and receive guests fairly often. Naturally, that made him an extremely busy man.

He had just finished approving a document when he heard a knock on the door.

Penny then came in moments later with a bowl of soup in hand.

Nathan leaped to his feet the moment he saw her. “Why did you come all the way here? You're pregnant, so you should be getting enough rest! The first trimester is extremely important for your pregnancy, so you mustn't overwork yourself!”

“Everyone keeps telling me to get some rest, but I don't want to be lying in bed all day. Besides, all I did was make you some soup. I don't think that's enough to overwork me, is it?” Penny replied.

The two of them then headed over to the lounge next to Nathan's office.

Apart from a table and chairs, the lounge also had a bed that Nathan could nap in whenever he got tired throughout the day.

After sitting down at the table, Penny handed him the bowl of soup and said with a smile, “I figured you'd be tired from the huge amount of work that you have, so I made you this chicken soup to give you that extra energy boost!" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Thanks!” Nathan replied with a chuckle.

He then switched on the television and chatted with Penny while sipping on the soup.

“Since the season is going to change soon, I was thinking of buying Queenie some new clothes. Would you have time to go shopping with me?” Penny asked.

“The selection for the new president will begin soon. I've been really busy lately, so I don’t think I'll have time to go shopping with you two. Maybe you can go with Mom, Dad, and Kylie instead. Oh, remember to buy Maisy some clothes too!” Nathan said.

Penny nodded. “Sure!

“Whatever it is you buy our daughter, make sure to get another one for Maisy too," Nathan reminded.

“Yeah, I will,” Penny reassured him.

Suddenly, a news broadcast on television caught Nathan’s attention.

A blonde reporter could be heard saying, “The Eurasian that has been living abroad, Mr. Nelson Freeman, has declared his intention to return to Eurasia and run for president. As of now, he has received the support of countless Eurasians all over the world. Countries like Ariarica, Jetroina, Xyperia, Frosa, Volk, and hundreds more have announced that they would support Mr. Freeman's decision to run for president. According to them, those in Eurasia should elect him as president because it would benefit the entire world.”
