Salute To The General

At the entrance of a hotel in Newcove, Mueller and Nathan were shaking hands before they separated.

Grinning, Mueller said, "Mr. Cross, don't you worry. I will receive an update tomorrow, so we can meet again." Nathan beamed. "Sure!"

He and Penny drove back to their temporary accommodation.

Feeling excited, Kraven told Nathan, "We will finally find out where Master is tomorrow. I'm both delighted and worried!"

Nathan nodded. "Tonight shall be a sleepless night. I hope Mueller delivers good news tomorrow."

That night, Nathan had difficulty falling asleep and only did so in the wee hours of the morning.

Nathan woke up at dawn.

He washed himself up and did some exercise. After he had breakfast with Penny, it was almost nine in the morning.

Nathan led Penny, Colin, Kraven, and his other subordinates to pay Mueller a visit at his residence. He wanted to know where Lothar was as soon as possible. When Nathan arrived, Mueller came out to welcome him personally and led him to the reception room.

They took their seats, and a servant served them tea.

Miller shot Nathan a welcoming smile. "Mr. Cross, you're here this early as you're concerned about Lothar's whereabouts, right?"

Nathan chuckled. "I owe my master a lot. I was worried as he went missing in recent years. Thus, I'd like to know his whereabouts as soon as possible."
