CHAPTER 1467 WE ARE FAMILY
Hanging up the phone, he went into the Peony Hall to have lunch with his subordinates.
All his men sat together and were chatting away happily.
Jack sipped some tea before he turned to Colin and asked, "Hey, Dunne, if I remember correctly, you're from Mayberry, aren't you?"
Everyone was surprised to hear that.
Given his tough look, how could anyone have imagined that he was actually from the South.
No wonder he was always so attentive and considerate. The man was even gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory.
So that was why. All those criteria belonged to citizens from the South.
Colin grinned, "Yeah, I'm a local. My house is actually at the suburb."
Jack and the others knew Colin was the head of the general's personal guard, and that role came without any time off. As such, it had been years since his last vacation, let alone reunion with his family.
Jack immediately suggested, "You haven't been home in years, right? Since you're here, why don't you pay your family a visit? Talk to the general about it later. I'm sure he would grant you few days leave.”
Colin shook his head instantly, "No! The general's safety is our priority, and I am the head of his personal guard. How can I allow my personal life to outweigh my duty?"
Colin knew about Nathan's mission.
Boris used to be Mayberry's mayor and was the governor of the East. He later became one of the Ten-Headed Hydra.
Mayberry was where Boris started building his empire.
Almost every powerful figure in the city was closely connected to Boris.
If that devil were to find out that Nathan was here to investigate him, he would spare no expense to kill the general.
It was a crucial period and definitely not a good time for Colin to leave his boss.
However, Nathan spoke up as soon as Colin finished speaking. "Come on. You taking a few days' leave isn't that of a big deal."
"Besides, we have worked long enough.
We are more than just superior and subordinate. You are my family. We all are!"
"I hereby grant you few days' leave to go home!"
Upon Nathan's arrival, all of the men stood up to greet him. "General!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"At ease." Commanded Nathan as he waved his hand dismissively.
After that, he turned to Colin and instructed, "Buy some gifts. I'll go visit them with you."
"All these years, you have done a really good job.”
"It's my fault that I didn't notice about this before, so I will drop by too."
Colin was overwhelmed by his superior's kind gesture. He got so emotional that his voice trembled, "General, you don't need to..."
Nathan refuted, "There's nothing wrong with appreciating my people. That's it."
After lunch that afternoon, the group of men departed in military vehicles to Colin's house. They even brought gifts with them.
Despite his usual low-profile, Nathan made a grand gesture this time.
He wanted Colin's family to see that their son had made it big.
