Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 851

Declan Roger was glad to hear Jarelle boast about his family background, but he still had a polite and reserved smile on his face.

He smiled, "Sir, I know that it's your birthday today, so I'd specially brought you a present. I hope you'll like it."

Jedediah Zinke saw how formally dressed Roger was, and also considering the fact that he was an aristocrat, still being a polite kid, he smiled at Roger, "Ah, you sure are a thoughtful child.”

Declan Roger turned over and waved towards a waiter.

Instantly, a waiter in a black suit carried a tray over.

On the tray was the present. It was covered in a small piece of golden satin.

The Zinkes as well as many of the guests at the scene were curious about what kind of present was lying beneath the piece of golden satin.

Declan lifted the piece of golden satin with his own hands, unveiling a piece of shining gold in the form of a pig.

A golden pig!

By the looks of it, it must have weighed at least ten pounds.

A golden pig this heavy must have been worth a lot.

Jedediah had his eyes fall wide, at the sight of the golden pig, while Jarelle eyes started to sparkle. The guests around could not help, but let out gasps of amazement.

Declan Roger proudly declared, "Sir, the pig is your Zodiac animal."

"I have had this golden pig specially forged for you at Dayan Zwaine's jewelry shop. It is made of five kilograms of 24-karat gold, and it costs three million. I hope you like it."

Three million!

Everyone at the scene was utterly bewildered. Everyone was whispering to one another about how Sir Zinke's future son-in-law must be rolling in dough.

Jedediah grinned with glee and nodded a few times, "Well, I don't know what to say, Declan. You are so thoughtful, kid."

Declan heard Jedediah's compliment and smiled, "It's just a small gift from me. As long as you like it, I am happy."

Jedediah was still wearing the joyful grin on his face, "Yes, I do like your gift a lot."
