Salute to the General novel Chapter 3526

Only Nathan and Hepburn were left in the hall.

Hepburn lifted the pot to pour a cup of coffee for Nathan.

However, Nathan placed his hand over the cup, preventing Hepburn from pouring him some coffee before saying lightly, “I'm not here for coffee. I'm here to clear up my doubts and solve problems. If you have an explanation for me, now would be the time to say it.”

Hepburn let out a soft sigh, set the pot down, and took a seat in the chair beside him.

She asked in a composed manner, “Mr. Cross, did you read the letter I wrote to you?”

Nathan's expression changed ever so slightly. “I have.”

Hepburn said, “Then you should understand my intentions.”

Nathan's expression changed once again.

In her letter, Hepburn subtly expressed her admiration and adoration for Nathan. Beyond this, she also indicated that she would lead the vampires to pave a way out for Nathan.

Nathan was currently unsure what Hepburn referred to when she said the word “intentions.” Is she referring to her admiration for me, or her efforts to secure a way out for me?

Nathan could only avoid mentioning her admiration for him and say slowly, “You mentioned in your letter that you returned to the vampire clan to pave a way out for me. Is everything you did truly all for my sake?”

With her head held high, Hepburn boldly met Nathan's gaze and candidly said, “That's right!”

Nathan and Hepburn locked eyes.

Hepburn's gaze was pure and passionate, with a touch of stubbornness.

Feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the look in her eyes, Nathan turned his head away. “If what you're saying is true, then you're simply too naive and foolish. I don't need you to do this for me, nor do you have to.”

Hepburn was an Adrunian woman, and Adrunian women were inherently bold and unrestrained when it came to their pursuit of love, unlike Aplothian women, who were usually reserved and shy.

She had never been afraid to express her love.

A flash of surprise sparkled in Hepburn's beautiful eyes as she asked, “Why am I different? Do I hold a unique place in your heart compared to others?”

Nathan spoke solemnly. “Because you've fought alongside me, and because we used to help and save each other. We are not only comrades but also friends. The friendship we share makes it unbearable for me to watch you die. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Hepburn didn't get the answer she was hoping for. She muttered under her breath, “How boring. It wouldn't hurt to humor me with a lie.”

Nathan did not dwell on that matter and said seriously,

He said earnestly, “Even though you're silver-tongued, your words are still filled with sophistry. People will never approve of what you vampires have done. If you continue doing this, a new war will inevitably break out. In fact, the Curia has already started to fervently expand its forces, ready to wage a full-scale war against you vampires.”

Hepburn took on a serious manner upon the mention of that. She nodded. “I understand.”

Nathan said, “I don't want another war to break out between vampires and humans, especially when the Earth is currently facing a massive threat from the Gods of outer space. So, it's best if you tell me the truth and answer my questions. Only then can I determine whether I can mediate and resolve the conflict between vampires and humans.”

Hepburn responded, “All right. Ask away. If it's something I can say, I'll tell you everything I know.”
