Salute to the General novel Chapter 2844

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.

Before Mueller became the mayor of Newcove, he had served in the military.

He had almost lost his life during a terrorist attack at an international military convention, where he had led a troop from Ariarica.

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.

Mueller smiled at Nathan and said, “Mr. Cross, so many things have changed in recent years. I didn't know you would become Commander-In-

Chief of the North Army and now the president of Eurasia.”

Returning his smile, Nathan replied, “You're not doing too shabby yourself. You were just a colonel back then, but now you're the mayor of Newcove.”

That drew a bout of laughter from Mueller. “Well, I was voted mayor by the residents of Newcove.”

“The Eurasian people voted for me too,” came Nathan's response.

They both laughed for a good while before Mueller turned serious and said, “I've never forgotten how you saved my life, Mr. Cross. Now that you're finally in Newcove, please don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything during your stay in our city. As long as it's not illegal or harmful to our country, I'll do my best to fulfill your request.”

After hearing his kind words, Nathan raised his glass and sipped some wine before replying, “In that case, I'll go straight to the point, Mueller. Frankly, I do need your favor on a matter.”

Mueller was taken aback by Nathan's reply.

His earlier words had been more of a formality than anything else.

After all, Nathan was the president of a country, and he undoubtedly had everything he desired at his fingertips. He hardly needed the help of someone as inconsequential as the mayor of Newcove.

To his utter shock, Nathan did have a favor to ask, and Mueller's guard immediately went up.

Cautiously, Mueller stated, “Mr. Cross, what do you need my help with?
