Chapter 1437 The Power Of The Cross Family


    As Nathan and Wendy walked out of the hotel, thetter asked curiously, "Nathan, you''re so


    awesome. The young masters from Mayberry are willing to listen to your instructions. How did you


    do it?"


    In fact, she was dumbfounded by how respectful the rich young masters acted toward Nathan.


    What surprised her more was Nathan did not even see them as his friends.


    She stared at Nathan curiously, wondering how he managed tomand those young masters?


    Nathan smiled as he replied, "I forgot to tell you that I have returned to the Cross family. I''m in


    charge now. In terms of wealth and power, our family is almost on par with the Bright family."


    Upon hearing that, feelings of joy could be seen on Wendy''s face.


    She only knew Nathan and his sister had been disowned by the Cross family years ago, rendering


    them homeless. His sister hadter on passed away, and Nathan ended up serving in the military.


    When she met up with Nathan again, she had thought he was still an ordinary soldier!


    Little did she know that he had returned to the Cross family and held all the power.


    She felt so happy for him.


    However, she was confused and bewildered at the same time.

    When it came to worth, the Cross family and the Bright Family had more or less the same


    amount.


    But in terms of their influence, the Cross Family should be iparable with the Bright family.


    If so, why was Mr. Bright so respectful toward him? He tried so hard to butter up Nathan when


    they''re not even friends.


    Nathan could sense her confusion and exined with a smile, "During the years that I have been


    serving in the North Army, I have had several achievements. So, people like Mitchell Bright still have


    to respect me.”


    Realization soon dawned on Wendy.


    What Mitchell venerates is Nathan''s position in the army!


    Inquisitively, she started guessing his position, "Nathan, what''s your position in the army? Are you a


    Major?"


    Wendy guessed so because enlisted ranks were different from officer ranks.


    Many ordinary soldiers retired as mere sergeants.


    Only those who had had exceptional performances while serving were promoted to officers.


    Hence, even if a soldier had fought hard till he retired, the chances of him being promoted to a


    Major were slim.


    If one could be promoted to the enlisted ranks, such as a Major, he was considered sessful.


    Upon seeing how excited she was, Nathan smiled. "My rank is a bit higher."


    A bit higher!


    He was being humble; a General was definitely not just ''a bit higher'' in rankpared to a Major.


    When Wendy heard what he said, her face flushed red in excitement. She began eximing, "So


    you''re a Lieutenant Colonel! Oh, God! You''re amazing! I reckon there aren''t many Lieutenant


    Colonels of your age. No wonder they respect you so much. If your sister in heaven can see how


    well you''ve grown up to be, she would be so proud!"


    Lieutenant colonel?


    Nathan was dumbfounded. He was not expecting her to take his words literally and guessed the


    next rank in line!


    It was not exactly her fault. It really was


    rare for the military to have such a young Lieutenant Colonel.


    She dared not dream of him being a Colonel or a Senior Colonel, not to mention anything higher in


    rank.


    Upon seeing her unusually excited reactions, Nathan was unsure of how to react.


    He dared not reveal to his aunt that he was the General of the North. He was afraid she would be


    overwhelmed with euphoria.
