Initially, the reception at the Noble Hotel was held to welcome the Xyperian Foreign Minister, Leigh and his eight warlords.
However, after they had provoked Nathan, they were taught a great lesson instead.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Leigh did not want to stay any longer and decided to leave the place with his eight warlords who were heavily injured.
Even though Leigh and his men had left, it did not dampen the lively atmosphere of the reception.
The leaders and guests who attended the reception had nothing else but admiration for Nathan.
First Lady Camilla, also took the opportunity to introduce some of Brimmopolis' nobles to Nathan, in order to form good connections for him.
Even though Nathan was the General of the frontier, he hardly made friends with the nobles and the riches in Brimmopolis because he had been guarding the North for all these years.
Camilla knew that before her husband retired from his position, he wanted Nathan to be introduced into the Cabinet.
Therefore, she was constantly helping Nathan pave his way.
There was another person who was unhappy that night. It was none other than Clifford Davier.
Even until now, Clifford couldn't let go of the grudge of his daughter's death.
He had wanted to see how Nathan would disgrace himself tonight, but he did not expect him to defeat all the eight warlords from Xyperia instead. Clifford was totally shocked.
At that moment, he smiled and said, “First Lady, General, since Xyperia's Foreign Minister and his men have left, I won't stay any longer too. I'll leave for now.”
Camilla replied smilingly, “Have a safe journey, Mr. Davier.”
He smiled once again and departed with his men.
The moment he turned around, his smile disappeared and his face darkened.
While Nathan looked at Clifford leaving the hall, thoughts started piling in.
Then, Camilla spoke softly to Nathan, “Both Clifford and Boris were the most voted candidates to be the next President. Seeing that Boris is in jail now, his chance of taking the seat is higher now.”
Nathan nodded, “I know.”
Camilla continued, “Regarding Phoebe's matter, you could have handled it better.”
Phoebe!
