Salute To The General

This time, Nathan came prepared, naturally having a firm grip on Hodges and the others. The battle ended in no time.

Hodges' heart was shattered by a punch from Hepburn, causing him to die on the spot.

Hodges' companions, too, either surrendered or were killed.

Nathan saw that it was almost time.

He then stood up, issuing a cold command, "Max, I'm leaving you to handle the aftermath for these guys."

Max's eyes lit up. "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Nathan took a step to leave, his voice cold as he ordered, "Hepburn, send Hodges' head to Moblan's residence. Give him a good scare, so he knows to behave." Hepburn said, "Yes!"

Nathan returned to Divine Palace on a private aircraft.

He just had a cup of coffee in the study when Hepburn arrived.

Hepburn reported, "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to present Hodges' head to Moblan. That guy seemed terrified and shocked, and extremely scared, as if he was afraid of being implicated. He repeatedly claimed his ignorance, saying that he failed to manage his disciples properly. He begs for your punishment."

Nathan said calmly, "Hodges is his prized student. I don't believe he would be completely unaware of such a serious matter. However, we've already provoked Hodges, and now we have the Four Emperors causing trouble. With internal strife and external threats, it's really not suitable to mess with that old fellow anymore. After this scare, I reckon he'll behave himself for a while. Let's just let it slide this time!"

Hepburn said, "Yes!"

Then, she took out a delicate glass bottle, inside which was a vial of blue liquid.

Nathan was taken aback. "What is this?"

Hepburn said, "The blue blood Gods' elite. I'm worried that the Four Emperors will come looking for trouble tonight. Your Majesty, you might need this, just in case."

Nathan possessed the bloodline of a vampire, which meant fresh blood would offer significant benefits. It could rapidly heal injuries, alleviate fatigue, and rejuvenate the spirit.

However, Nathan was born a human, and deep down, he had a strong aversion to blood.

Even though he was seriously injured this time, and it took a long time to heal, he still didn't choose to drink blood to repair his body.

Hepburn was also worried about tonight's banquet, fearing that the Four Emperors would cause trouble again. Therefore, when she

beheaded Hodges and sent Hodges' head to Moblan's residence, she quietly had her subordinates collect a bottle of Hodges' fresh blood.

Nathan frowned at the bottle of blue blood on the table. "You know, I don't like these things."

Hepburn retorted, "You may not like it, but you need it. I know you wouldn't agree to drink this in the long term to restore your health, but this small vial of blue blood can help you suppress your injuries for a short time, allowing you to unleash a certain level of combat power temporarily. If by any chance the Four Emperors cause trouble at the banquet tonight, you can handle it with ease. Your Majesty, please accept this. You must not reveal your weakness. If the Four Emperors learn of your severe injuries, then the Divine Realm will be in danger. You wouldn't want to reignite the war in the Divine Realm, would you?"

Nathan let out a soft sigh. "All right, I understand."

After saying that, he put away the bottle of blue blood from the table.

Such a small amount of blue blood wouldn't be enough to heal his old wounds. However, this vial of blue blood could act like a stimulant, allowing Nathan to suppress his old injuries and temporarily unleash a certain level of combat power. It's better to be safe than sorry, I suppose!

Hepburn seemed a bit hesitant at the moment, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Nathan asked curiously, "What is it? Is there something else?"

Hepburn hesitated, then said,

"You've handed over the job of dealing with the aftermath of the traitors like Hodges to Max. Max is competent, but he can be a bit

ruthless in his actions. To mynoveldrama

knowledge, he has already int

his

troops to raid the homes of the traitors. I'm afraid he's about to stir

up a bit of a bloody storm again. I'm concerned whether his actions

might be excessive, or too

ostentatious, not aligning with your directive to handle things

discreetly?"
