Salute to the General novel Chapter 3751

At that moment, Hepburn came in with Max and Sinistral, followed by Dinko and Moblan.

Apparently, they had also learned that the Four Emperors had expressed their submission and requested an audience with Nathan.

Everyone felt that the Four Emperors harbored evil intentions and wanted to know if Nathan would meet the Four Emperors.

Nathan said with a smile, “Since the Four Emperors have expressed their submission and wish to pay tribute, we naturally have no reason to refuse. Respond to the Four Emperors on my behalf. Tell them I permit them to come and pay their tributes.”

Hepburn, along with Eve and the others, simultaneously said, “As you wish, Your Majesty.”

Nathan instructed everyone to leave, leaving only Hepburn behind.

Upon realizing they were alone in the office, Hepburn revealed an expression of concern. She said softly, “Your Majesty, your wounds have not yet healed. You really shouldn't have accepted the Four Emperors' personal tribute. They clearly harbor wolfish intents. What if they find out you're injured and take advantage of the situation?”

Nathan laughed. “Considering they submitted after I killed their arrogant messenger, I know they're up to no good. No doubt they want to use this opportunity to gauge my strength. If I don't dare to face them, won't they immediately assume I'm weak? When that time comes, I'm afraid they will launch an attack on the Gods without any hesitation.”

Hepburn's eyes lit up. “I see! You deliberately accepted their request with such nonchalance to keep them guessing and prevent them from acting rashly. Is that right?”

Nathan forced a bitter smile. “I'm still injured. I really had no other choice! We've just taken over Divine Realm. The Gods have just surrendered, and the hearts of the people are not yet with us. It's really not suitable for another major war to break out now.”

Hepburn voiced her concern, “The problem is, if we can't fool the Four Emperors, and they see through our plan, our clever scheme will backfire.”

Nathan said, “We can only take one step at a time.”

Then, Nathan asked, somewhat casually, “The vampires have now settled in Divine Realm. How does everyone feel about it? Are you getting used to life in Divine Realm?”

Hepburn laughed. “The vampires have been marginalized everywhere on Earth. Now that we're in Divine Realm, we can truly be in charge. Everyone is pleased and especially grateful to the God King. Everyone says that, without you, there would be no vampires today. In fact, many of our kind, deep down, believe that you are their true king. I am merely a puppet queen.”

Nathan knew the vampires viewed him as one of their own because he could unleash the eight-winged vampire combat form.

He chuckled. “You're going a bit too far with that statement. There's no doubt that you are the queen of the vampire queen.”

Then, Nathan casually asked, “By the way, what do you think of Max?”

Hepburn knew that Max used to be the God of War in Ariarica. However, after contracting the blood virus, he didn't hesitate to join the vampires.

Max once opposed Nathan, but later, the vampires were defeated by Nathan. Naturally, Max also submitted to Nathan.

Furthermore, ever since she became the queen of the vampires, Max showed her extraordinary respect. He obeyed her every command, doing whatever she asked of him without a hint of complaint.

Of course, Max had his flaws too.

Max tended to keep his distance from other strong individuals, and he preferred to cultivate his own loyal forces.

According to the rumors, the vampires under Max's charge had been frequently bullying their own kind. They look down on their brethren and those who were once pirates, particularly those like Toothless and Solo.

Hepburn wasn't sure what Nathan meant by bringing up Max at that time.

She cautiously said, “Max is quite capable. He's quite impressive, whether it's training soldiers or his own combat abilities. He works hard without complaining. Although, it seems he hasn't been keeping his subordinates in check recently, which has caused a few minor troubles. Are you asking about him because of those troubles? I'll severely punish him and his underlings once I get back if they are acting out of line!”
