Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3134

It could be said that the entire Curia had recently heard a lot about Nathan.

Even Eugene IV was heaping praises on him and proclaimed that he was God's chosen one.

Hence, all the members of the Curia were full of admiration for him.

Moreover, there was currently a blood virus outbreak and vampires running rampant.

As they were sent there on a perilous mission to deal with the vampires, having Nathan backing them up boosted their sense of security.

Naturally, there were also people exceedingly displeased with Nathan's arrival and even more so by the fact that everyone had to form a line to welcome an Aplothian.

That person was Brenton, a Holy Knight, standing beside Hepburn.

Brenton came from a wealthy family in Salinsburgh, but he was exceptionally talented and strong. When he was young, he was already well known for his tremendous strength, and after he had defeated countless elites, the locals hailed him as unmatched in strength.

Subsequently, he accidentally saw the Holy Maiden, Hepburn, on TV. He was astounded and fell in love with her.

After that, he did everything he could and finally succeeded in joining the Curia and becoming a Holy Knight.

Not only did he make no effort to conceal his feelings for Hepburn, he even pursued her relentlessly.

Unfortunately, Hepburn had no interest in him as she was aware of his past as a playboy.

Brenton did not care, though, and often shamelessly appeared in front of her.

Hence, after learning that Hepburn was leading a team to Musbane to fight against the vampires, he joined voluntarily and followed her there.

The sight of Hepburn telling everyone to form a line to greet Nathan and her subsequent excitement when she saw the latter made Brenton burn with jealousy.

“Isn't he just a mere Eurasian God of War? Is he worthy of such a high standard of welcome from us? I think it's just a hollow reputation. Everything is just sugarcoated. Who knows! He might not even be as strong as me!” he remarked with a derisive snort.

Hepburn was slightly displeased when she heard his words. “Brenton, you were not at the headquarters of the Curia previously, so you didn't witness Mr. Cross in action. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said such ignorant words. I've seen his strength with my own eyes. How can he be the person you claimed to have a hollow reputation? You'd better have some humility and respect. If you offend Mr. Cross, don't blame me for not showing mercy.”

Brenton was enraged by her admonition, and his cheeks were aflame, but he could not lash out.
