NovelEnglishChapter 1224 “Pass my word along, Sicard Danse. Anderson Jones will be demoted by three ranks, and he'll be sent to fight on the frontlines until he dies in battle!” “Yes, sir!” Sicard stood at attention and saluted Artoile.
He had no objection to this decision This was a mercy to Anderson.
If he died in battle, he would be deemed a war hero.
Anderson got to his feet and saluted Artoile.
Then, he walked over to Enzo and Shanice. He lowered his head to them as he said, “Thank you both for your kindness!” Lastly, he lowered his head to Nash “Thank you for what you did, Mr.
Calcraft!” “Screw off!” Artoile had an ugly expression on his face.

Nash took his phone out and checked the time. It was already six in the evening.
“Ms. Hume, please have the chefs prepare the highest-quality dishes that this hotel offers!” “Yes, sir!” Shanice massaged her right shoulder as she walked to the counter to call the kitchen staff.
Artoile glanced at Sicard.
Sicard immediately knew what he meant and took his phone out as he walked over. “How much will that be? The Warden will pay for dinner today!” Shanice hurriedly said, “Tonight's dinner is on the house!” After all, this was the Warden of the Southern Territory they were dealing with. Even if Nash wanted him to pay, Shanice would cover the bill herself.
The Empire Hotel’s most expensive meal cost around 360 grand. She and Enzo had saved up over a million dollars between them and would be able to pay for the meal themselves.
Sicard had a solemn expression on his face as he said, “Ms. Hum we never take anything from the people for free. We insist on payin for having a meal at the hotel. Please do not do this to me!” Shanice replied solemnly, “The Warden of the Southern Territory is always thinking of his people, and he has done so much for us. If we were to bill you for a meal, it'd only affect our business later on if word about this were to get on the streets!” “But...” Sicard was about to reply when Nash walked over. He had a smile on his face as he said, “I own the Empire Hotel, Colonel Danse. Please treat this as having a meal in your home!” He had once spent several days in the Southern Territory.
During that time, he had sneakily watched Sicard train the soldiers.
The image of countless cannons firing in sync as he commanded them was still fresh in Nash’s mind.
Sicard gave Artoile a rueful look.
Artoile walked over and said solemnly, “I insist on paying for this meal. Also, allowto apologize to Ms. Hand Mr. Carrell on behalf of my subordinate. Additionally, allowto repay you for saving my life, Nash!” Nash and Johnathan had once saved Artoile from the brink of death.
They disappeared without a word before Artoile had the chance to thank them.
He had nearly stopped breathing just now when he experienced a relapse. If Nash had not intervened, he may not have been able to hold on until his doctor arrived.
After all that, how could he allow Nash to also treat him to dinner? Nash was still trying to formulate his next sentence when Shanice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsaid, “That works too. Since the hotel just switched owners today, I've organized a hotel-wide promotion. You'll need to pay 36 grand!” Artoile knew that Nash and the others were trying to be nice and said solemnly, “A discounted meal will not show my sincerity: Sicard, pay however much the original price would amount to!” Sicard knew what Artoile’s temper was like. The minute he made up his mind, it was difficult to convince him to do anything else. Hence, he transferred 360 grand over.
Shanice gave Nash a rueful look.
Nash merely pursed his lips.
In the private room for premium members on the ninth floor, only Nash, Artoile, Sicard, Shanice, and Enzo were there.
Confused, Artoile asked, “Where are your friends?” Nash chuckled. “They’re having drinks in another room!” Artoile sounded slightly upset as he said, “Why don’t you invite them over as well? It would be a shto let all this food go to waste!” Nash glanced at Shanice, who went to the other room to invite the others over.
When she opened the door, an elder dressed in a well-pressed s entered the room.
It was a face they did not recognize.
Nash glanced at him and realized he had the aura of the Mystique Loyalty Realm on him.
Sicard introduced him, “This is Qadry Norton, a doctor who's also one of the Warden's oldest friends. He's in charge of overseeing the Warden's diet!” Nash smiled as he got to his feet and clasped his hands together.” Pleased to meet you, Mr. Norton!” Qadry merely nodded as he took a seat in between Sicard and Artoile.
