Salute To The General

Chapter 1437 The Power Of The Cross Family

As Nathan and Wendy walked out of the hotel, the latter asked curiously, "Nathan, you're soawesome. The young masters from Mayberry are willing to listen to your instructions. How did youdo it?"

In fact, she was dumbfounded by how respectful the rich young masters acted toward Nathan.

What surprised her more was Nathan did not even see them as his friends.

She stared at Nathan curiously, wondering how he managed to command those young masters?

Nathan smiled as he replied, "I forgot to tell you that I have returned to the Cross family. I'm incharge now. In terms of wealth and power, our family is almost on par with the Bright family."

Upon hearing that, feelings of joy could be seen on Wendy's face.novelbin

She only knew Nathan and his sister had been disowned by the Cross family years ago, renderingthem homeless. His sister had later on passed away, and Nathan ended up serving in the military.

When she met up with Nathan again, she had thought he was still an ordinary soldier!

Little did she know that he had returned to the Cross family and held all the power.

She felt so happy for him.

However, she was confused and bewildered at the same time.

When it came to net worth, the Cross family and the Bright Family had more or less the sameamount.

But in terms of their influence, the Cross Family should be incomparable with the Bright family.

If so, why was Mr. Bright so respectful toward him? He tried so hard to butter up Nathan whenthey're not even friends.

Nathan could sense her confusion and explained with a smile, "During the years that I have beenserving in the North Army, I have had several achievements. So, people like Mitchell Bright still haveto respect me.”

Realization soon dawned on Wendy.

What Mitchell venerates is Nathan's position in the army!

Inquisitively, she started guessing his position, "Nathan, what's your position in the army? Are you aMajor?"

Wendy guessed so because enlisted ranks were different from officer ranks.

Many ordinary soldiers retired as mere sergeants.

Only those who had had exceptional performances while serving were promoted to officers.

Hence, even if a soldier had fought hard till he retired, the chances of him being promoted to aMajor were slim.

If one could be promoted to the enlisted ranks, such as a Major, he was considered successful.

Upon seeing how excited she was, Nathan smiled. "My rank is a bit higher."

A bit higher!

He was being humble; a General was definitely not just 'a bit higher' in rank compared to a Major.

When Wendy heard what he said, her face flushed red in excitement. She began exclaiming, "Soyou're a Lieutenant Colonel! Oh, God! You're amazing! I reckon there aren't many LieutenantColonels of your age. No wonder they respect you so much. If your sister in heaven can see howwell you've grown up to be, she would be so proud!"

Lieutenant colonel?

Nathan was dumbfounded. He was not expecting her to take his words literally and guessed thenext rank in line!

It was not exactly her fault. It really was

rare for the military to have such a young Lieutenant Colonel.

She dared not dream of him being a Colonel or a Senior Colonel, not to mention anything higher inrank.

Upon seeing her unusually excited reactions, Nathan was unsure of how to react.

He dared not reveal to his aunt that he was the General of the North. He was afraid she would beoverwhelmed with euphoria.
