Salute To The General

Chapter 2785



Jurgis' face fell as he hissed, "Nathan Cross, what the heck are you talking about?"

Nathan scoffed, "I bet you're fully aware of what I mean! To be honest, the only reason I agreed to come and visit your country this round was because of your earnestness while sending an invitation to me previously. However, it only struck me that you were putting on a good front when I arrived here. You're obviously only good at sweet-talking and making empty promises!"

Annie was riled up by Nathan's words.

Her face turned grim in an instant.

With intense fury written all over their faces, Jurgis and the others were about to lambast Nathan for deriding them.

Even so, before they were in time to riposte, Nathan added grimly, "After crossing paths with your earl, duke, and prince, I'm fully aware of your hypocrisy and abhorrence toward me. I know you don't give a d*mn about me, but at the same time, you can't get on my nerves. Similarly, you look down on Eurasia but can't help admitting that my country is becoming stronger day by day. You don't have the guts to fight against me openly. Thus, you would rather play underhand tactics and collude with others—"

Before Nathan could finish his words, Annie could not refrain from cutting him off furiously. "Mr. Cross, please mind your words. When did we play underhand tactics and collude with others? If you refuse to make things clear and apologize to us, we won't let you off."

Nathan snickered. "Hah! You should be more than aware of what heinous deeds you've committed!"

Annie's heart skipped a beat as she looked intently into the utter somberness in Nathan's eyes.

Oh my! Has he found something out? No way! I won't chicken out just because of his words.

Steeling herself, she looked up and retorted loudly, "Mr. Cross, I'm clueless about what you mean. Please cut the crap!"

Narrowing his eyes, Nathan sneered, "Since you seem to have lost part of your memory, I don't mind refreshing it then. Queen Annie, allow me to ask something. Are you sure none of you had anything to do with the werewolves that attacked me last night?"

The werewolves that attacked him last night!

A hint of apprehension flashed across Annie's eyes in an instant. She was usually able to stay unruffled despite any hardships, but at that moment, she was unusually bereft of speech.

No doubt, she was in cahoots with Max in scheming the werewolves' attack. In fact, she had invited Nathan to conduct a diplomatic tour to Eagleland fervently with the ulterior motive to eradicate him.

Now that Nathan had burned the bridge by exposing her heinous crime, she could not remain unfazed any longer.

Even so, she had been through a lot and was used to facing difficulties in life. After trying to regain her usual composure within a short span, she denied firmly, "Mr. Cross, how is it possible we had something to do with the werewolves that attacked you? You've clearly misunderstood us." Content belongs to

In actuality, Nathan was not certain whether the royal family of Eagleland had anything to do with the attack of the werewolves.

He had said so only because he had suspicions and thought he would sound Annie out. It never occurred to him she would be panicked by his words.

Even though anxiety had only flashed past her eyes briefly, he had been sharp enough to catch it. At the same time, he was sure as h*ll that Eagleland had something to do with the attack of the werewolves, although Max was the mastermind behind it.

Right that instant, no words could describe the sheer frigidness in Nathan's eyes as he stared at Annie and the others.

Judging from that, Annie knew that it was pointless to make any explanation as he already knew everything.

Annie had no choice but to relent,

Plastering a smile, she tried to

defuse the situation. "Mr. Cross, I finally realized that you've misunderstood us in many areas. At the same time, we shouldn't have jumped to hasty conclusions before this. After having a clear insight into this matter with Szymon, I have to I

Mr. Cross, why don't we exercise restraint and let the matter rest? Let's put aside all the prejudice and look ahead to a future with a win-win collaboration. What do you think?"
