Salute To The General



He stared at Nathan and retorted coldly, "I remember you told me that you served in the North Army. So, you're an ordinary veteran, right? Hmph, it's absurd that a piece of useless trash like you would go after someone out of your league! Isn't it a fair thing for her to divorce you? You don't deserve Ms. Smith at all. Buddy, if I were you, I wouldn't be so thick skin and linger around. I'd be so ashamed for not knowing my place."

Nathan replied, "You're in no position to judge whether I'm useless or if we're a blissful couple. As an outsider, you've got no right to criticize our marriage. One last thing, don't you dare to call me your buddy because my buddies are all distinguished and well-respected figures in the military. Who do you think you are to associate me as an acquaintance?"

Zyon bellowed, "That's sheer arrogance coming out from a kept man's mouth! As the Captain of the Peacekeeping Forces, I'm well received by the heads of each country. They always treat me with utmost respect and courtesy, but you said I'm unworthy? I'm a captain! Were you even a platoon leader when you were serving in the North Army?"

Nathan scoffed, "I'm afraid I'd disappoint you with my answer. Not only was I the leader of all platoon leaders, I was also the commander-in-chief of the entire military district."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Zyon burst out laughing. "You? Commander-in-chief? You might as well say that you're the Chief Military Governor of Eurasia."

Nathan cast a glance at him and replied in his usual calm composure, "Sorry, I was indeed the Chief

Military Governor of Eurasia."

Instantly, the whole place fell into a dead silence, so much so that even the drop of a pin became audible.

Penny was terribly anxious by the turn of events.

Hank and Prudence were also stunned by how things had developed.

They did not know who Nathan truly was and assumed that he simply rebutted in a fit of anger.

Hank tried to appease the situation.

"Calm down, guys, calm down..."

Prudence added, "That's right.

l

Nathan, don't blurt out whatever that comes to mind and claim that you're the Chief Military Governor. Being an impostor could get you into trouble. The way Hank and Prudence attempted to break the impending fight gave Zyon the impression that Nathan was a bluff. He was absolutely certain that Nathan was not the Chief Military Governor.

Snickering, he pursued the topic with much hostility. "Mr. and Mrs.

Tonkins, I'll let this slide for your sake. However, he must apologize. Otherwise, I'll put on my hat as the Captain of the Peacekeeping Forces and report him to the military in Eurasia for using the Chief Military Governor's name in vain."

Then, he sneered at Nathan and

vel.no

said, “As far as I know, it's a big sin to impersonate the commander. The punishment of persons convicted this great offense is at least a three-year imprisonment. The worst-case scenario could result in a death sentence. Dude, the choice is yours to make; apologize to me or go behind the bars?"

Nathan grinned. “What I told you was the truth. My buddies are all high-ranking military officers whereas I'm the Chief Military Governor. Why do I need to say sorry for stating the facts?"

Zyon glared at him with widened

eyes. "How stubborn! You really

need to be taught a lesson. Fine, I'm

going to challenge you further on this. You're the Chief Military Governor, right? Are you able. prove yourself? If you can't, have all the reasons in the world to prosecute you at the military court and send you to jail."

Just then, there was a ruckus outside of the hotel.

Large fleets of military trucks arrived one after another.

There were the regular Jeep used by soldiers, sedan by the commander, and Audi as well as Passat driven by the respective local leaders. Generals and leaders with domineering aura exited the vehicles one by one.

Within moments, all of them alighted their vehicles and gathered at the hotel. There were also countless soldiers responsible for defense surrounding them.

Zyon saw the magnificent sight through the window and grinned hideously. “This is awesome! A large troop of soldiers, leaders, and commanders are here. What perfect timing! You said that you're the Chief Military Governor of Eurasia, right? I'm going to expose you soon. Let's see how things will turn out for you. Haha!"
