In a brief moment, the obese Neil entered the room together with Fletcher, Mark, and Jeremiah.
"Brother!"
Neil greeted his elder brother, who was sitting in his chair with all smiles.
"Good to see you, General!"
The three businessmen who were known as the Three Heroes of the West within the business community greeted Lucas politely with a bow.
Lucas replied calmly, "Neil, I'm surprised to see you here at the base."
"And the three of you, what are you here for?”
Letting out an awkward laugh, Neil explained, "Brother, these are my good friends from my business dealings. This is Fletcher Harvey, Chairman of the Western Chamber of Commerce. He is also the cousin of the captain of your guards, Harold Harvey, whom I mentioned to you
before."
Glancing at Fletcher, Lucas replied, "I have heard of the Three Heroes of the West."
The three businessmen were excited to hear Lucas's response.
It was their honor that General Ziegler had heard of them.
What they didn't know was that Lucas wasn't just good at waging wars—he also paid particular attention to fame and reputation.
It was for this reason that he refused to accept Nathan's unofficial title as the God of War.
The Three Heroes of the West was a nickname given by both the legal and underground segments of society in the West. It represented how much influence and power the three men wielded there.
However, Lucas didn't share the same sentiment that the nickname embodied.
He felt that it was insulting to him and his men for three unscrupulous businessmen to be called Heroes of the West.
