At the entrance of Channing International Airport, numerous of luxury cars were parked outside and many VIPs waited patiently with their subordinates.
There were even many reporters waiting nervously with their cameras and recorders.
Everybody seemed to be aware that Dr. Rothschild was coming to Channing!
All the bigshots in Channing were itching to get acquainted with Dr. Rothschild and butter him up; all the reporters in Channing were itching to broadcast this piece of news.
Many CEOs of pharmaceutical companies wished to invite Dr. Rothschild to become their brand ambassadors. In fact, if they could even take a picture of Dr. Rothschild visiting their company, it would be a bonus fortheir marketing campaigns.
When Penny saw such a massive crowd, she was rather dazed by it.
At this moment, an army of soldiers from the North in full armor escorted an old but sprightly man out of the airport.
"Dr. Rothschild has arrived!"
The crowd buzzed with excitement.
Everyone tripped over themselves as they surged forward in an attempt to get their invitation across to Dr. Rothschild.
However, they were forced back by the soldiers who used their submachine guns to push them away.
When Penny and the rest saw this, they said worriedly among themselves, "If we go up to him, will we be driven away by these soldiers?"
Nathan laughed. "How is that even possible?"
As he spoke, he walked up to the soldiers. Although Penny and the others were nervous, they had no choice but to follow him.
When Dr. Rothschild and the North soldiers saw Nathan, elation filled their eyes.
Bam!
The escort team made up of thirty soldiers immediately came to a halt when they saw Nathan. They stood at attention neatly and saluted simultaneously, causing Penny and the others to blink in astonishment.
The people around them were left open-mouthed by the sight as well. They couldn't understand why they had been pushed back by the soldiers when they came forward, yet when Nathan walked up, the soldiers saluted to him so respectfully?
Then, they watched as Dr. Rothschild shook Nathan's hand enthusiastically.
