Chapter 480

The bet between Nathan and Noah had been spread all over the city. Even the employees from Poly Capital had expressed incomprehension about Nathan’s behavior.

Wonder Pharm, owned by Noah, had already taken over so many businesses. However, Nathan was betting with Noah now, and the bet was 20 million.

Wasn’t this a gift for Noah?

What surprised everyone even more was that Nathan had not come to work the next day. He said that he was going to visit Ms. Ranchy’s father!

Wow! He is really not taking 20 million seriously!

After hearing the news, Wendy could not help but feel a little embarrassed, but she remained patient and planned to observe for a week.

Warren was happy to meet Nathan, his son-in-law. He treated him well and then asked about his bet with Noah.

Nathan did not expect the news to spread so quickly, even Warren knew about it.

This matter had been spread throughout Mimar City’s people. Maybe Noah confirmed that he had a chance to win, and he was afraid that Nathan would play tricks. So, he deliberately made up the matter to make it difficult for Nathan.

“Nathan, have you considered when to marry Hannah? She is now of marriageable age, so I believe you should consider it,” Warren said while eating.

“Well! I have thought about it. I will wait until the work is over.” Nathan was stunned for a moment, then agreed.

It was impossible to get married. But he still had to have a serious attitude.

Hannah was satisfied when she saw his attitude. At the moment, she had no such thoughts about getting married since she wanted to work hard. Also, Nathan and Natalie had not been divorced for a long time, so they had to wait anyway.

***

Nathan went to the 81st Division in the afternoon to arrange training after returning from the New Year.

As soon as he came out of the training camp, he saw Jade standing at the door.

“General Perkins is here. Look, look!”

The appearance of Jade immediately attracted the soldiers of the 81st Division to look at her. Each of them looked at her extremely respectfully.

Jade nodded to Nathan when he saw he came out and said, “Let’s have a walk first.”

Nathan was stunned for a while. He was not disgusted with Jade since the two of them were shot through the body by the same bullet.

A famous female writer said that the only way for a man to understand a woman was to go through her body.

Recalling this, Nathan thought for a moment.

This is probably because the bullet was stained with my blood when it entered Jade’s body…

Well, it must be the reason!

“Should I salute you? If that’s the case, just forget it!” Nathan was discomfort and frowned.

“Then there’s no need, don’t play with this nonsense!” Jade said, then shook his head.

After Nathan made a joke, he walked side by side with Jade.

Jade was tall, and wearing military boots. He was almost on par with Nathan. If he wore high heels, he would be taller than Nathan. The crisp sound of the military boots stepping on the land was particularly pleasant.

When the soldiers saw Nathan walking with Jade, they could not help but be envious and wish they could replace him.

“You’re the one promoted by Mr. West, so we can be regarded as members of the same side now,”

Jade said calmly.

She no longer had the feeling of aloofness she had before. After what happened last time, it seemed that her perception of Nathan was no longer bad. Some unhappiness between the two of them was resolved inexplicably.

Nathan smiled and said, “Yes, I didn’t expect your attitude to be so firm. What’s the matter with me today?”

Jade said, “This year, the War Department issued a document. The content is the assessment of brigadier, especially the brigadier who are specially recruited…”

Nathan was regarded as a special recruit. He was not a military academy graduate and had no experience in the army.

As soon as he heard it, he felt that something was wrong, and frowned, “I’m afraid that someone targeted me to make this assessment?”

“Well, you’re right…” Jade said lightly, “Someone is dissatisfied with Mr. West and wants to use this matter to fight with him, including Cornell, who came to the 81st Division to provoke you last time. In fact, it was for this purpose.”

Nathan smiled and said, “It is the assessment, just let them do the assessment! I’m afraid that the examiner’s abilities are average, and I will beat him to death.”

Jade shook his head and said, “Don’t underestimate the heroes of the world. In the army, I can count the people who are stronger than me.”

Nathan did not say anything. He felt that he was also better than Jade. But he had a higher EQ now. If he said something like this, it could cause conflicts.

“So, you must pass this assessment. Otherwise, this will cause a certain frustration for Mr. West,” Jade said seriously.

“Okay, thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention,” Nathan said.

“I admit that I underestimated you before, but I also hope that you can always make me feel that I still underestimate you,” Jade said.

Hearing what the other party had said Nathan just laughed.

The two had already walked around the field side by side.

Jade said, “There are some things I need to tell you… The current direction has changed due to some people. It is about the Carter family. You are close to them, so I have to remind you.”

Nathan could not help squinting his eyes when he heard Jade’s words and asked thoughtfully, “What’s the situation?”

Jade said, “The higher-ups used to support the Carter family in exchange for the interests of the Manskarta before. After all, Manskarta is rich in natural resources, such as rubber, combustible ice, and steel… But now it is different. Their attitude towards the Carter family is not as clear and firm as before.

They think of other ways to get this benefit.”

“Don’t support the Carter family? That’s supporting the Manskarta government!” Nathan was stunned for a moment, then said.

”This was a matter brought up by the Mendez family. I don’t know what they will do next. However, once the situation changes, the Carter Group’s industry of Manskarta in Hechland will definitely be threatened… At that moment, I hope you don’t get involved. This matter is not easy to get rid of… If you are not careful, you will be labeled. You will not be able to take it off.”

Jade looked serious when she talked about it. She even had a serious warning tone.

Nathan nodded thoughtfully.

Almost all of the good things Hechland could get in Manskarta at that time came from the Carter family.

So their relationship with the Carter family was not bad. But the Mendez family was unwilling to see the Carter family dominating Manskarta. So they did some things and caused a change in the direction of the situation.

He was hesitant after hearing Jade’s warning.

”Okay, I got it. What else is there? When will the assessment start? Does it take place in Emperia City?” Nathan asked.

“No… For your safety, Mr. West changed the location of the assessment to Rikkus,” Jade said.

Nathan thought that Thunder was unnecessary. But after thinking about it, it was okay.

At this moment, his return to Emperia City would only intensify the conflict, so it was better to change the place. He had endured it for so many years, and now it was only a short time.
