Chapter 1369 How Can A Man Like You Marry Her
It was very crowded in the Bossania port because the mayor of Bossania, Cory Hunt, brought withhim a lot of city officials, and numerous elders from prominent families were here as well towelcome Nathan's arrival.
The reason why they welcomed him was because they were pleasantly surprised at how he sent avery valuable gift to the Lillard family.
The moment Cory found out that Nathan was about to set foot in Bossania, he brought along hissubordinates and the family elders to welcome him, but unfortunately, they didn't get to see him atall.
Cory asked the head of the Lillard family, Klay Lillard, "Klay, didn't you say that the General gaveyou a gift and that he will arrive today by boat?"
Meanwhile, everyone cast Klay envious gazes, because it was an honor to receive a gift from theGeneral himself, especially since the Lillard family was at most a middle-class family.
Klay answered, "Mayor Hunt, what you said is true, and I don't know why the General hasn't arrivedyet too.”
Cory nodded in acknowledgment, before asking out of curiosity, "How close is the Lillard family tothe General? Why did he give you such a valuable gift?"
At that moment, everyone stared at Klay as well because they were curious as to what the Lillardfamily did to earn the General's favor.
However, to be frank, Klay didn't know the reason as well!
He replied hesitantly, "I have two sons, and the eldest one, Joseph, is now serving in the NorthArmy. I heard that they value him a lot, so if I'm not mistaken, the General must've taken a liking to
him hence the gift."
No wonder!
Cory and the rest had an expression of realization, as Cory replied, "If I remember correctly, youryoungest son's name is
Keller, and he's about to get married soon. Don't forget to invite us to his wedding!"
The family elders chimed in as well, "Yeah! Remember to invite us to his wedding!"
Klay's face flushed red out of excitement as he chuckled, "Haha, I will definitely invite all of you!"
In the past, Klay never managed to earn the favor of the aristocrats in Bossania, but everythingchanged now that he received a gift from the General.
Everyone is flattering me now!
He then suddenly remembered that his youngest son's fiancee was Candice, who was born in apoor family, and a sudden pang of disgust filled his heart!
Originally, he had disapproved of their marriage, and now that his family received the General's gift,his disapproval grew because he thought that Candice wasn't worthy of marrying into a powerfulfamily like his.
He thought to himself, "This can't be. My son can't marry a woman like that! I must make him cancelhis engagement and marry a daughter from a wealthy family!"
In the afternoon, Nathan, Colin, the Elite Eight, and Maurice arrived at the Holland family's house inBossania.
The Holland family had already stayed in that house for a few decades, so it was quite run-down.Recyclable items such as aluminum cans collected by Maurice and his wife, Hera Lizzy werescattered by the entrance of the house.
Despite its worse for wear condition, a plaque saying 'House of Pride' was proudly displayed on theentrance.
Maurice apologized to Nathan and the rest awkwardly, “It's quite messy in here, so please excuseus for it."
Nathan replied, "Mr. Holland, you donated two hundred thousand that you earned from the army tochildren in need, so even though your house is quite run-down, your family's acts of kindness makeit glorious
and admirable!"
Maurice was a little emotional when he heard that. My son's comrade really is one of a kind!
He replied hurriedly, "You're flattering me. Please come inside.”novelbin
