Salute To The General

Nathan calmly said, "Don't worry. I'm still the commander-in-chief of the Earth Alliance. I will pay attention to this issue and advocate for peaceful coexistence with the vampires. The prerequisite is you must manage the vampires well. We cannot have any horrific incidents of vampires killing and drinking blood." Hepburn nodded. "I will keep the vampires in check. My only concern is that during times of war, people will respect and obey you only when they need you. Now that the war is over, they might not rely on you as much. They might not listen to you as much. Indeed, if they were to find out about your identity as a vampire, I'm afraid they might turn against you..." Nathan said calmly, "Every situation requires a period of adjustment. Don't worry. I believe that one day, humans and vampires will live in peace. I have even more faith that the vampires will find their own way."

Hepburn nodded. "I hope so!"

After that, the two of them fell silent.

In the end, it was Hepburn who gently broke the silence once again.

She said softly, "Mr. Cross, my words remain the same as before. Your vampire identity will always be a risk. When the war has passed, people no longer need heroes. Heck, they might even scorn war heroes. Please remember, I, along with all other vampires, are eagerly awaiting your return!"

As she spoke, her eyes could no longer conceal her feelings for Nathan. Anyone could sense the love she held for him.

Nathan suddenly felt a heavy pressure.

He couldn't help but stop in his tracks, casting a glance at Hepburn.

Hepburn lifted her charming face, bravely meeting his gaze.

In the end, Nathan couldn't resist her gaze and said lightly, "Hepburn, you really don't need to do so much. There's no need for you to do all this for me. You don't owe me anything, nor do you have any obligation." Hepburn's eyes were aflame. "Still, I'd be glad to."

After a long silence, Nathan finally said, "It's not worth it."

Hepburn's eyes dimmed slightly. She knew all too well that in Nathan's heart, there was only Penny.

Nathan's heart was already filled to the brim with Penny, leaving no room for anyone else.

Just like her heart, it was filled entirely with him, leaving no possibility of falling in love with anyone else.

Very quickly, Hepburn forcefully calmed herself, put on a smile, and casually pointed ahead, saying, "The beautiful place I mentioned is just ahead. Come on. Let's go take a look!"

Nathan glanced at his watch and politely declined, saying, "I'm out of time. The scheduled departure time for my private jet is almost upon us. I need to hurry back. I can't keep the soldiers of the North Army waiting just for me."

Hepburn felt a pang of disappointment, but she still managed to say softly, "All right, then. We'll have the chance to go together another time." Nathan said, "Great!"

Meanwhile, Colin and his subordinates had already prepared a sedan and a few black Audis to pick up Nathan.

Nathan waved goodbye to Hepburn, then got in the car and left.

Hepburn watched as Nathan's

convoy disappeared from her sight, and only then did she look away. We'll have the chance to go see it together again in the future. But after this parting, I wonder when we'll meet again...

Right then, Lyanna and her vampire subordinates also arrived at Hepburn's side.

Lyanna asked softly, "Ms. Hepburn, the famous Fate's Rock scenic spot is not far ahead. Shall we keep going and take a look around there?"

Hepburn, with a hint of reluctance in her voice, said, "Let's not go. Let's head back!"

If Nathan wasn't going, she didn't see the point of her going.

Lyanna was taken aback. "Huh? Haven't you always said you wanted to go see it?"

Hepburn glanced in the direction where Nathan had disappeared, whispering softly, "Without fate, there's no use in longing."
