Salute To The General

Nathan's lips curved upward. "Since the four Reclusive Families have extended a sincere invitation, I shall attend the banquet tonight."

The scarface declared, "We shall await your arrival. Please excuse us now."

With that, they turned around and left.

The four Reclusive Families had investigated Nathan and knew he would definitely show up, for he was a domineering man. There was no way he'd act in a cowardly manner, so they weren't worried that he'd stay away. Besides, if Nathan didn't show up, the four Reclusive Families could take action against him easily.

Both Nathan and Cheryl went back into the house.

Cheryl's gaze fell on the four gilded invitation cards. Seemingly worried, she said, "Nathan, this is a trap. Something will definitely happen there. I have connections in Brimmopolis. Why don't I arrange for you to leave the city in secret? You can go into hiding for the time being."

Nathan was exasperated. "Why would I go into hiding?"

Cheryl snapped, "If you don't go into hiding, they will kill you!"

Unfazed, Nathan told her, "Actually, they are no match for me. Perhaps they had contributed to the country and the people back in the days, but times have changed. They are different now. They forgot how they are supposed to go into seclusion to train themselves and reemerged to save the country in troubled times. Now, they are nothing but a bunch of people after fame and fortune. It is hard to keep to one's initial aspiration, it seems."
