Salute to the General novel Chapter 1997

When Nathan got out of Nomo Restaurant, a black car suddenly showed up and stopped right in front of him.

Colin got out of the driver's seat and walked around to open the door for Nathan.

Nathan got in to the back seat.

After that, Colin returned to the driver's seat and fired up the engine. He drove slowly and steadily.

“Where should we go now, Mr. Cross?”

“To the Crystal Hotel.”

“Understood,” replied Colin as he drove, “the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor sent a message over.

Nathan sat in the backseat with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was resting when he asked nonchalantly, “What's the message?”

Colin replied, “Sage Tomlinson of the governor's office said that members of the Davier family visited a few times lately. They asked to see the Chief Military Governor.”

Nathan's lips curved upward, and a skin-deep grin showed up. “What is the Davier family up to this time?” asked Nathan.

Colin replied, “The second in command of the Davier family, Mr. Valois Davier, has a daughter named Sophia Davier. Rumor is that she is stunning, graceful, and intelligent and that the Davier family wants her to marry the Chief Military Governor. They want to join forces with you.

A marriage? Clifford wants his niece to marry me?

Nathan's eyes bulged. Strangely, he found it both hilarious and infuriating.

Colin then added, “You weren't there, so they didn't know what to tell the Davier family. Sage asked for your instructions.”

“Is there even a need to ask me about it? Just reject them,” replied Nathan calmly.

Colin said, “Understood. I will have them work on it immediately.”

Sage was waiting at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor when he received the orders to reject the Davier family's offer.

Nathan instructed him to be cruel and direct, but Sage thought about how the military's budget came from the Cabinet.

Clifford is the secretary of the Cabinet, and even the Chief Military Governor can't afford to offend the guy that mindlessly

Hence, Sage disobeyed his instructions and was polite when he rejected the Davier family's offer.
