Salute To The General

Leopold smiled and said, "You should know what kind of figure Mr. Cross is. I'm certain he's able to resolve any issues that pop up himself." Rogan froze when he heard that.

In the next second, he figured out what Leopold meant.

In other words, Leopold was saying that Nathan could easily deal with the people picking a bone with him and that their help was not needed.

In truth, however, not only was Leopold expressing his confidence in Nathan, but he was also trying to avoid offending Wolfric Welz.

After all, Remdik had been having difficulties in recent years. Crossing Wolfric and the others would be a bad idea. Actually, he was even hoping that Nathan would fight against Wolfric. The Gods of War of various countries were all preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Right then, someone shouted, "Pope Eugene and Eurasia's God of War have arrived!"

Wolfric, Leopold, and the rest turned in unison toward the entrance.

At the same time, the Gods of War of smaller countries hastily stood up to express their respect.

They had no other choice.

Even though it was a gathering of Gods of War, the most important figures were still Gods of War from powerful countries like Nathan, Wolfric, and Leopold.

The Gods of War from the weaker countries were all there only to learn something, and they would never dare to display any hint of disrespect toward Nathan like Wolfric and the rest. Soon, Nathan walked in under everyone's watchful eyes with Eugene IV and Hepburn by his sides.

Behind him was a large group of guards as well.

Some of the Gods of War of weaker countries who were on friendly terms with Eurasia hastily came over to greet Nathan.

Nathan politely answered their greeting.

At the same time, Leopold led Rogan and the rest over to Nathan as well.

Letting out a chuckle, Leopold then said, "It's been a while, Mr. Cross. You're as majestic as ever."

Nathan then shook Leopold's hand with a reciprocal laugh. "Haha! General Remington, Commander Torsney, you're both as splendid as usual too."

With that, Nathan shook hands with Rogan.

When Rogan was shaking hands with Nathan, he whispered, "Hehe, Mr. Cross, there were people who were displeased with you and talking behind your back earlier. They were disgruntled about how you were late and were annoyed with how the pope had gone to welcome you personally. They were even talking

about how they were going to put

you in a tight spot."

At that, Eugene IV frowned. He never thought that the Gods of War would be displeased by how he personally welcomed Nathan.

Still, he was not happy to hear Rogan's tattletale, for his action would not aid in the cooperative spirit.

Fortunately, Nathan only smiled in nonchalance after hearing him. "Thank you for letting me know, Commander Torsney. I'm guessing that they're only complaining a little to calm themselves down. You don't need to take them to heart." Eugene IV quickly agreed to that. "Yes, yes, we're all here for one reason to form an alliance and go up against the dark clan to maintain world peace. We're allies, so let's not create any conflicts here."

Right then, Wolfric led his men and a group of Gods of War over.

Coincidentally, he overheard Eugene

IV's words and instantly laughed sarcastically. "Alas, I'm afraid he doesn't think of us as allies even though we do! He was the last to join the gathering and had made us O all wait for him. Despite his mediocre capability, he's quite the arrogant fellow!"

The moment those words were out in the air, everyone turned to look at Nathan.

Everyone knew that Wolfric was targeting Nathan when he said that.

Looking at Wolfric, Nathan smiled and said, "So you must be Ariarica's newly appointed God of War, Mr. Wolfric Welz."

"That is correct." Wolfric curled his lips.

Nathan chuckled. "I heard about you before you were always number two in the Ariarican army; Max had always taken the spotlight from you. Now that something has happened to Max, you're finally taking his place!" Wolfric's face turned bright red instantly.

How could he not understand what Nathan was trying to say? Nathan was clearly saying that Wolfric was no match for him because Max, who was better than Wolfric, had been defeated by Nathan. Silence enveloped the area as they all sneaked glances at the infuriated Wolfric. They thought, Mr. Cross really isn't someone we should be offending without thinking things through, huh?

Then, Nathan let out a soft laugh

before saying, "Also, Mr. Welz, we agreed that the day of the gathering is today, so I can't be late if I am right on time. Therefore, I'm not being arrogant. Of course, we should praise you all for coming early instead."

At that, Wolfric was rendered speechless as he scowled.
