Salute To The General

Chapter 2783



Horror-stricken, all the others exclaimed, "Your Grace!"

Caught off guard, nobody could react in time to go to Szymon's rescue.

Everyone's expression varied as they stared at the dead duke and the hole in his forehead.

Many of Szymon's faithful subordinates pulled out their weapons and were about to charge at Nathan furiously to avenge their duke.

"Stop!" Piero, who was kneeling beside Szymon's lifeless body,

thundered.

Scowling at everyone around him, he reprimanded, "Have all of you gone nuts? Don't you know what will happen if you act impulsively? Do you think you can afford to cause a battle between the two countries? Even if Queen Annie were here right now, I bet she wouldn't allow you to act recklessly either!"

Piero's words were like cold water for those at the peak of fury. With that, they came to their senses and cooled their heads off.

Even so, some protested indignantly with fiery rage in their eyes, "He killed

Duke Szymon. How can we let him off like this?"

Piero replied resignedly, "Things have progressed to an extent beyond our control. Everyone, please don't act recklessly. I believe the royal family will resolve this matter and give everyone an explanation."

Hearing that, they quietened down. It was known to everyone that Szymon's father-in-law was Jurgis, who was a prince and had the highest authority in the royal family. Apart from that, Annie had a soft spot for Szymon.

Hence, they presumed Jurgis would not let Nathan off for killing Szymon. Moreover, Annie would surely seek justice for the latter as well.

Oblivious to everyone's gaze, Nathan left nonchalantly with Penny, Carlos, and the others.

On the way back to the embassy,

Carlos, with anxiousness written all over his face stated restlessly,

"President Cross, Szymon was

undoubtedly an influential figure it

Eagleland. Now that he's dead, assume the royal family of

Eagleland will not let you off. To play it safe, how about you end your interview with Eagleland immediately and leave first? I'm

afraid the situation will escalate at any moment." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Nathan flashed him a faint smile. "Why should I be bothered since he's only a duke? Throughout those years in the North, I've killed almost a hundred dukes. Offing him is no big deal. You don't have to be worried about anything."

Nheless, Carlos was still not at ease. "But—"

Nathan cut him off composedly. "Enough of that. Since we did it out of righteousness, there's nothing to fear. The royal family of Eagleland can't pick on us by blaming us for it either."All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Moments later, they were back at

the embassyThe first thing Nathan did was to assign someone to bring the imperial' jade seal back to

Eurasia Ever since the Eurasian

knew that he had obtained their national treasure from the auction, they had been waiting for it to be sent back to their country in anticipation. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Nathan did not assign Carlos to bring the national treasure back this time around. Instead, he sought help from Eurasia's military base overseas to send it back to their country.

He had just arranged for the treasure to be transported back to Eurasia when Colin entered and reported to him, "President Cross, someone from the royal family of Eagleland is here, claiming that Queen Annie requests you to meet her in Platinumez Palace."

Nathan queried placidly, "Did she mention why she wants to see me?"

“No. She didn't mention anything. However, my instinct tells me that it could be related to Szymon. President Cross, I have a feeling the royal family of Eagleland plans to settle the score with you."

Nathan's lips curled up slightly as he commented, “Interesting!”

Colin asked warily, "President Cross, are you going to meet Queen Annie? Should we take Carlos' advice to end the interview and leave Eagleland before anything happens?"

Nathan added cooly, "We've stayed

in Eagleland for two days, and it's about time we leave. Even so, it's inappropriate for us to leave without bidding them farewell. Thus, I guess I'd better meet Queen Annie before that. At the same time, I'm curious teknow what she intends to say." Content belongs to

Hearing that, Colin replied, "Yes, President Cross. I'll get our transport ready now."
