CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 865: ABOUT GAN TANG (3)

Half an hour later.

Huangfu Jue’s convoy drove out of the Duke Residence and headed to the F Country’s embassy. Seated in the back, Huangfu Jue had already changed into a clean and tidy suit. If it weren’t for the visible bloodshot in his eyes, it would be almost impossible to tell that anything had happened to him.

As the convoy entered the embassy, General Barton and his assistant were already standing on the steps waiting. Seeing Huangfu Jue get out of the car, he immediately came down from the steps to greet him.

Clad in a deep green military uniform, the slightly portly figure of the over-fifty-year-old General still had sharp eyes.

"Duke." General Barton extended his hand to Huangfu Jue with a warm smile, "Welcome, welcome. I originally thought there wouldn’t be a chance to meet you on this trip to A Country. It’s truly an honor that you could join me for lunch."

"You’re too kind, General."

Huangfu Jue responded with a faint smile, and the two walked side by side up the steps.

Exchanging pleasantries along the way, General Barton led Huangfu Jue to the dining room with a smile, where they sat while waiting for the food to be served. General Barton naturally started a conversation with Huangfu Jue.

Both men hailed from military backgrounds and managed troops, giving them many common topics to discuss.

"It’s a pity that this trip is so short; otherwise, I would definitely visit the Duke’s airbase to learn from your country’s experiences."

Huangfu Jue raised his lips, "Is the General also interested in the Air Force?"

Barton smiled, "As a soldier, I believe the type of service branch isn’t crucial, isn’t that right?"

"Of course." Huangfu Jue nodded, "Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask of you, General."

"Please speak, Duke."

"My fiancée has formally announced her candidacy for the presidential election. I believe the General must already know about this." Huangfu Jue spoke calmly, his blue eyes fixed on General Barton’s face, not missing any hint of emotion, "I hope the General can take good care of her."

"Haha..." General Barton laughed heartily, "Naturally, if Miss Gan needs anything, I will not hesitate to help. But let me say, during the election, I won’t be so courteous!"

"Of course!" Huangfu Jue laughed along with him, raising the cup on the table towards General Barton, "This time you’re visiting our country, and I didn’t fulfill my duty as a host. Please forgive me, General."

In a courteous tone, Barton said, "You are busy with national affairs, Duke. It’s already quite rare that you could take the time to have a meal with me."

Huangfu Jue took a sip of wine and sighed.

"What’s the matter?" General Barton’s gaze fell exploringly on his face, "Judging by your expression, Duke, did something happen?"

"To be honest, General, my son... he’s in trouble!"

"I’ve heard some rumors about this. I thought they were just hearsay, but it seems they’re true. However..." General Barton raised his face, "You don’t need to worry too much, Duke. I believe the young prince will be safe."

Huangfu Jue raised his hand and drained his cup, "If anyone dares to harm a hair on my son’s head, I promise I’ll make sure they die without a burial place and that every single one of their family members will be buried with them!"

General Barton was stunned, then gently nodded, "I completely understand your feelings, Duke. If it were me, I would do the same."
