Salute to the General novel Chapter 2981

“I was enjoying the scenery from the top of the city when I heard a commotion outside...” Nathan sang as he casually made more tea with the clay stove, filling his surrounding with a sweet aroma.

“From board games to tea-making, there's nothing you can't do, isn't there, Mr. Cross?” inquired Colin rhetorically with a smile.

Myron, too, could not help but be amused. “Yeah. Is there anything you're not good at, Mr. Cross?”

Those around Nathan had nothing but admiration in their eyes as they gazed at him.

To them, Nathan was more than God of War. The man was talented in so many aspects that hardly anyone could compare to him.

“Diligence is the key. You can do anything if you're interested enough to invest time and effort into it,” stated Nathan in response.

To that, Colin and the others simply chuckled without a word.

Nathan had always been a quick learner, which others failed to emulate.

No point in comparing ourselves to others. The group then decided to continue enjoying the tea, but suddenly, black dots began to appear on the surface of the sea.

When the dots got closer and bigger, the group realized they were looking at hundreds of enemy boats sailing on the sea, and standing on the fleet's flagship was none other than Hidetake.

With his eyes narrowed, Hidetake slowly parted his lips to speak. “I'm Hidetake Tokugawa, and I wish to talk to Nathan.”

After putting down his teacup, Nathan rose and gazed at the man on the deck of a fishing boat in the distance. “How dare you act so insolently when you know I'm here, Hidetake! If I were you, I'd take my men with me and scram. I see no reason to throw away your life nor your men's today, do you?”

Hidetake's face immediately hardened after he heard Nathan. Obviously displeased, Hidetake voiced, “Who's the insolent one now, Nathan? I've come to find out who is better between the two of us.”

With that, he turned to his trusted subordinates and inquired, “Who wants to be the first to give our enemies a taste of our strength?”

Two subordinates volunteered almost as soon as they heard the question.

“I, Bunta, will be first.”

“I, Takeshi, will be first.”

“Good. You two show the Eurasians what we're made of.” Hidetake smiled at the volunteers with satisfaction.

“Yes, sir!”

“Understood!”
