Salute To The General

That morning, Nathan had just sent his daughter to school.

After coming out of the school, he got into the backseat of a sedan.

He casually picked up the newspaper in the car and started browsing through the news section. While he was doing that, he asked the driver, Colin, "What's the situation with Ariarica over the past two days? Have they sent someone to negotiate with us?"

"I was told that Ariarica sent their Foreign Minister, Jessica Pattinson, to negotiate in Eurasia. As for Eurasia, Zion is tasked with negotiating with Ariarica," Colin reported. Nathan merely nodded because he already knew that information.

Colin then added, "However, Jessica didn't come. Instead, she sent her subordinate, Jemma, to Eurasia. Jemma is the leader of Ariarica's negotiating team. The reason for their trip to Eurasia is to meet up and negotiate terms with Cross Group and the other companies. They want to force these companies to agree to their terms. If they agree, Ariarica will consider not sanctioning them."

Nathan frowned. "Jemma and her team, where are they now?"

"Well, they most probably have arrived at Channing by now. I think they're on their way to Cross Group."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's get to Cross Group now."

Do you think you're so impressive just because you have your own company and made some money? In my eyes, you're nothing! From now on, you better treat me with respect.
