n nodded. “Yes. But I’m unable to understand its principles at all. Without M, this thing is
worthless.”
Nathan nced at n and observed him closely. After a while, he stood up with the bottle in hand and
said to Cole, “Let him name a price. I’m buying this thing.”
Then, Nathan promptly left the room.
n panicked, quickly standing up and shaking his head. “No need. You don’t need to pay me.

However, Nathan was long gone. Cole approached n, saying
seriously, “This thing is valued at five billion dors per bottle. As long as it doesn’t exceed that price,
you can name any amount you like.”
n was stunned, finding it hard to believe that he could name any price below five billion dors.
After his retirement, his family had been facing financial difficul and his wife needed money for medical
treatment. Life was toug he thought of selling this thing after boarding the ship.
It had never crossed his mind that he would get billions of dol Even if he worked for several lifetimes,
he could never amass su substantial figure.
Cautiously, n lifted a finger. One million dors wouldn’t be
much, would it?
Cole immediately agreed. “One billion? Thanks.”
n frantically waved his hands. “No, no. That’s too much.”
“Ten million, then? Thank you so much. Norvania will remember you
generous contribution.”
Cole immediately handed a document to n and added, “Present this document at the military
headquarters within three days to
receive the check.”
“I…” n was dumbfounded.
Havingpleted his task, Cole left as well.
Later that evening, the cruise ship returned to the waters of Norvania- docking at the pier.
People on the ship gradually disembarked.
When Suzanne followed Wendy out of the cruise ship, she was stunned by the scene before her.
A dignified and grand formation of troops stood in two rows on the pier, they were orderly and
spectacr. All of them in a single frame emanated amanding and awe-inspiring presence.
Then, Suzanne spotted Sally and Oliver waiting next to a luxurious
Wendy casually approached Oliver for a chat.
Not wanting to talk with those two, Suzanne took out her phon
call for a cab.
Just then, she heard the sound of steady footsteps from behind h Before Suzanne could turn around,
however, Sally had rushed past with a smile.
Sally leaned on Nathan’s arm, coquettishly saying, “Nate…”
At the words, Suzanne turned around to see that Sally had already thrown herself at Nathan, hugging
his arm affectionately.
“Nate, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. We’ve just reunited
but I can’t bear to part with you.”
Suzanne felt a sourness in her heart, her eyes stinging at the sight of the two together. She lowered her
head to avoid looking at the ufortable scene.
Wendy and Oliver walked over. The former smiled and said, “Sally,
Nate has many things to do. He doesn’t have much time to y with you.”
On the other hand, Oliver instigated by saying, “Sally, if you can’t bear to part with Nate, go to the
military with him for a few days.”
Excited like a child, Sally leaned closer to Nathan and bounced on her feet. “Sure! I want to visit Nate’s
weapons production base.”
Nathan’s expression turned gloomy. He irritably pushed Sally away and reprimanded her, “Don’t talk
nonsense, and stop clinging to me like a monkey.”
Cole and Lucas, who were standing nearby, frowned when they
watched Sally’s inappropriate behavior. The look on their faces had turned incredibly unpleasant.
Cole felt a wave of disdain as he thought that Nathan’s majestic image as a general was thoroughly
ruined because of Sally.
Lucas shared the same sentiment, thinking, “How disgusting. Lu
I don’t have a childhood sweetheart like her.”
Wendy looked at the time and then said to Suzanne, “Suzanne, it’s gettingte. Let’s take Dr. Hoffis’
car home.”
Suzanne nced at the cab-hailing application on her phone. Surprisingly, five other customers were
ahead of her in the queue.
She didn’t want to stand there and witness the heartbreaking scen any longer.
“Fine,” Suzanne responded listlessly, turning to walk toward Wendy.
A pleasant smile appeared on Oliver’s face. He quickly walked over to open the passenger door.
“Suzy.”
Suddenly, someone called her gently and intimately, stunning
everyone present.
Suzanne was particrly shocked. She turned to look at the man who called her “Suzy” so endearingly.
It was Nathan.
Had she heard it wrong?
Nathan forcefully pushed away Sally, who was still stubbornly clinging to him.
Having been pushed a step back, Sally gaped at Nathan as he approached Suzanne.
Anyone would be surprised that the tough and stoic man would such a gentle tone to call a woman’s
nickname fondly, not to me that it was Suzanne whose reputation was notorious.
Nathan walked up to Suzanne and took her hand while she was dazed. He whispered, “Last night
before we slept, didn’t you say wanted to watch our drills?”
Suzanne became even more confused. She had no idea they had drills. When did she say such things
last night?
Oliver’s face darkened, and he immediately closed the car door. Walking up to the pair, his gaze was
cold as he uttered, “You’re so busy; it wouldn’t be right for her to disturb you.”
Nathan met Oliver’s eyes, his lips curling into a small smile. He
tightened his hold on Suzanne’s hand and pulled her to his side.
“No matter how busy I am, I can spare time to apany her to watch the drills. If I can’t even fulfill
such a small request from my wife, then I’ve failed as a husband.”
He emphasized that they were husband and wife, deliberately showing off.
While Oliver’s expression soured, Suzanne felt her heart pounding and her breathing turning erratic.
Nathan’s palm was broad and warm as he held her hand tightly. She felt like she was floating in space,
unable to figure out what was going on with Nathan.
But of course, she wouldn’t expose Nathan’s lie. It was just that she could vaguely sense the tension
between the two men.
“What about Sally?” Oliver asked unhappily.
