Salute To The General

After leaving the White House, Nathan returned to the villa that the Windsor family allowed him to stay in.

Back home, Magda came to welcome him. She said softly, "Mr. Cross, a Ms. Stewart has been waiting for you for some time."

Ms. Stewart? Oh, she's talking about Cheryl Stewart.

Nathan's gaze trailed past her and stopped at a gorgeous lady sitting on the sofa. It was none other than Cheryl.

Magda cast a strange gaze in Nathan's direction.

It didn't escape Magda's notice that Nathan was a married man. As someone of the same sex as Cheryl and Kylie, she knew they both had romantic feelings for Nathan.

Thus, she stared at Nathan as though he were a playboy.

It was pretty obvious what she had in mind.

Alas, Nathan couldn't really explain himself and had to let her be.

He removed his shoes and entered the villa. By then, Cheryl had already gotten to his feet. "You're back, Nathan," she greeted him warmly.

Nathan shot her a grin. "Cheryl, why are you here? Is something up?"

Cheryl pouted. "Why? Do I need a reason to be here?"

"Of course not" Nathan answered cheerfully.

Cheryl stopped joking with him. She wore a serious explanation and revealed the reason for her visit. "Nathan, do you know besides the Norris family, the other four Reclusive Families' Patriarchs have brought their top fighters to
