Chapter 2070



"May I ask if you are well acquainted with Nathan Cross?" Clifford asked.

"What is your interest in this?" Nathan inquired in kind.

"I understand that you have sought Nathan for his input on military strategy during the North Army's battle against the Xyperian army, and also presented him a gift recently. That made me curious about the nature of your relationship with him."

Nathan's answer was ambiguous. "I consider him a friend."

Nathan then countered with a question of his own. "I heard that your family and Nathan have their differences."

"Not differences, but a profound enmity," Clifford corrected.

"An eye for an eye makes the world go blind. If both parties are willing, may I suggest that I play peacemaker. Let bygones be bygones, and the two parties try to get along from here on. What would you say to that?"
