Salute To The General

Mueller, Nathan, and the rest remained in the reception room.

The atmosphere had inexplicably turned awkward.

In the end, Nathan flashed a smile and broke the silence. His voice was calm as he asked, "Mueller, did you run into trouble?"

Mueller had no choice but to reply, "Mr. Cross, it's bad news. I'm afraid I can't help you find your master anymore."

Nathan's brows knitted together, but he quickly relaxed and asked nonchalantly, "Did you run into trouble? Or perhaps someone told you to stay out of the matter?"

Mueller didn't respond. He seemed both embarrassed and conflicted.

Nathan promptly understood what had happened. He got to his feet and stretched his hand out. "No matter what, thank you for your help. You didn't succeed in finding my master, but I know you've tried your best. Thank you."

After a brief hesitation, Mueller took Nathan's hand. His expression was complicated as he said, "Thank you for understanding my situation."
