Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1135

In the midst of their excitement, the Matriarch couldn't help but ask, "Son, how did you get these invitation cards? Are they all ours?"

Luke himself was puzzled, so he told it as it is, "The Commander of the Capital Garrison, Will Long, sent someone to deliver it. However, I have no idea as to why they gave such an important invitation to us. But they were indeed meant for us. It's not a mistake."

The Matriarch said while nodding gleefully, "Since it was General Long who sent someone over with it, it definitely isn't a mistake. We have many capable members of the family. Perhaps one of them has gained the favor of the First lady. That's how we got these invitations."

"Dress sharp tonight. You will be coming with me to the First Lady's birthday dinner. We have to show the others how impressive the Lindberg family is!"

Hugh, Peter, Luke, and the rest of the Lindberg family replied in unison, "Yes, Matriarch!"

As the Lindbergs were relishing the honor of being invited to the birthday dinner, they were unaware Will Long had indeed made a mistake.

When Will knew Nathan had come to the capital for personal matters, he had asked around and found out that the Lindberg family was related to Nathan.

Hence, without checking any further, he had assumed Nathan was in Brimmopolis to visit them.

Will, who was responsible for sending out the invitations, had given all of Nathan's invitation cards to the Lindberg family instead.

In Brimmopolis.

The Marriott Hotel was the most prestigious one in the city. It was often used by the government to entertain foreign dignitaries.

Therefore, it was the de-facto venue for the First Lady's fiftieth birthday dinner.

As the President was overseas for a working trip, he wasn't able to attend the dinner.

However, rumor had it that the General of the North, also known as the God of War, would be there.

Hence, all of Brimmopolis' high society tried their best to get their hands on the invitation cards.

To be invited to the birthday dinner was considered a status symbol.

Night soon approached.
