Salute To The General

What?

Cayden jumped to his feet, thunderstruck at the news.

Nathan actually defeated all four patriarchs of the Reclusive Families? And he even defeated Theron of the Zuckerberg family?

Frode went on, "After defeating the four Reclusive Families, Nathan ordered them to retire on the spot and banned the members of the Reclusive Families from entering the secular world to cause trouble. Forced into submission by Nathan's dominance, all of them retreated into their ancestral homes in humiliation. Even when they left, they did not send anybody to greet us."

Layden was silent for half a second before speaking again. "It seems that I have underestimated the kid."

Nathan's combat prowess is terrifying to have defeated Theron. Furthermore, he also knows about my relationship with Ariarica.

The thought made Layden even more uneasy.

"Having just returned from abroad, I didn't intend to expose myself by personally dealing with Nathan. It appears that I have no other choice in the matter at this juncture."

As his monologue trailed off, he turned to Frode. "Tell Nathan that he has incurred my attention and ire for opposing me and incapacitating my brother. Tell him that he is free to pick a time and place to resolve the matter with me in private."

Frode and Jett exchanged identical looks of shock.
