Chapter 1873


    Benita asked, “Commander, Aren’t you mad at Derrick and Benji for abandoning the army?”


    “Abandon?” Nathalia could not helpughing.


    He did not expect Benita to think Derrick and Benji had abandoned the army.


    It seemed Benita was mad about Derrick and Benji’s retirement and must despise them. Otherwise, he


    would not have said such a thing.


    Nathaliaughed and said, “Derrick and Benji would have abandoned the army if they had suddenly


    deserted in the middle of a war. I will kill them without mercy ording to military rules! But Derrick and


    Benji didn’t desert in the middle of a war. Besides, they applied to discharge and retired as per the


    procedure. How is that abandoning?”


    “But they couldn’t stand the hardship after all. They retired because they’re unwilling to continue


    bearing the responsibility of protecting the country,” Benita said, gritting his teeth.


    “Not everyone is capable of such a huge responsibility, and not everyone has steel-like willpower.


    Benita, you’re asking too much.”


    Nathalia waved his hand and motioned for Benita to sit down. However, instead of sitting down, Benita


    turned around and went to make Nathalia a cup of tea.


    “We don’t know what Benji’s trouble is yet. We’ll find out when we ask him tomorrow or the next day


    over a drink. If it’s a financial problem, I will help him,” Nathalia said to Benita.


    Benita put down the teacup and nodded earnestly.

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    In these three days, Nathalia and Benita had gone out to explore the city a few times. Although they did


    not explore the entire of Midwich, they visited some of the more famous ces. The two now had some


    understanding of Midwich.


    It was getting dark. 8 pm.


    Nathalia and Benita alighted a taxi and stood before Sky Restaurant’s entrance.


    Sky Restaurant was a popr restaurant in Midwich. Besides that, it was expensive, about 1,000


    dors per person.


    1,000 dors per person was not cheap. With one person having to spend 1,000 dors here, a group


    of people having a meal here would cost almost 10,000 dors. Such a cost was already expensive.

    It was unknown whether because today was a weekend or some other reason. There were a lot of


    customers in Sky Restaurant.


    As soon as Nathalia and Benita walked into the dining area, there was a lively atmosphere. The whole


    ce was full of people, most of whom were friends meeting for dinner and drinks.


    “Hello, table for how many people, please?” A waitress walked over and asked with a smile.


    The waitress was young and polite. You could tell she was trained. Besides that, the red dress she


    wore was no regr material. The fabric was of high quality. The look of it alone wasforting.


    “We have five people in total…” Nathalia said to the waitress.


    “Okay, we still have a table in the dining area…”


    Before the waitress could finish speaking, Benita asked eagerly, “Only tables in the lobby? Are there no


    private rooms?”


    “Private rooms are temporarily…”


    While the waitress was talking, another waitress came over and whispered something in her ear.


    The waitress’s face lit up immediately, and she said, “You two are lucky. Someone just left, so we have


    a private room avable now.”


    “It’s great that you have one,” Benita nodded with satisfaction.


    Normally, it did not matter if they got a private room.
