Meanwhile, a grand dinner was happening at Newcove's Lyre Hotel.

Newcove's mayor, Mueller, was busy greeting Nathan and Penny with some big shots and politicians from the city.

Nathan briefly returned their greetings before finding a quiet spot to have a drink and a chat with Mueller.

Back then, Nathan had represented Eurasia at the same military convention.

Nathan had saved Mueller's life, and that was how their friendship began.

It was also the reason Nathan was treated like royalty during his visit to Newcove.
