Salute To The General

Chapter 1857



The next day. Night fell, and streetlights illuminated the entire city.

At Cloud Palace.

It was Nathan's birthday and Thomas had everything ready beforehand. Dozens of tables had been set up at the restaurant to celebrate the man's birthday together with his friends and family.

As instructed by Nathan, Thomas didn't hold a grand party or invite any of the military leaders.

Hence, the guests were mostly Nathan's and Penny's friends and family.

Some business owners heard of the news and rushed over just to celebrate with him.

On the contrary, no politicians or military leaders showed up.

This was because Franklin Wilson, the commander-in-chief of the Channing military district, was in Brimmopolis for a meeting. Besides, the new mayor of Channing, Arthur Rivers, was Clifford's disciple.

The Davier family had a grudge against Nathan, so Arthur was against him as well. Since Arthur refused to attend Nathan's birthday banquet, his subordinates didn't come as well.

On top of that, many thought that they no longer needed to brown-nose Nathan, given he was not the General of the North anymore. Although only his family and the business partners of the Cross Group were present, Nathan showed no hint of disappointment.

Meanwhile, Nathan was no different from his usual self. Walking alongside Penny, he smiled and greeted the guests with Thomas trailing behind him. Soon, Sean turned up together with the Smiths.
