CHAPTER 1291 THE GENERAL
At the office.
Nathan was dressed in casual clothes, sitting on the office chair, twirling a pen around with his finger.
Colin was standing next to him in a military stance. He stood tall with his chest out, hands straight along the trouser seams. He was dressed in a colonel military outfit, Elite Eight's North Army uniform.
A soldier came in and reported, "General, Officer Craig Carney from Tigre wants to meet you."
Nathan said calmly, "Let him in!”
Craig came into the office quickly with a few of his trusted men.
From the second he stepped foot in the office, Craig did not dare to look at Nathan. He walked in with hurried steps, lifted his left hand in a salute, and said, "Sir. How do you do?"
Nathan leaned back on his chair and looked at Craig. His right hand was injured, hanging in front of his chest in a sling.
"How do you do, Officer Craig?" he smiled and said.
When Craig saluted Nathan, he stood straight with his eyes staring ahead.
After hearing Nathan's voice, he felt that it was vaguely familiar. Did he hear it before?
He did not dare to look straight at the General's face as it was not a respectful behavior.
Nathan smiled and said, "Officer Craig. You came searching for me. Is there anything that you need?"
Craig revealed an aggrieved expression and said, "General. My subordinates and I were attacked at Channing by an evildoer. Please give us justice.”
Nathan smiled in amusement and said, "I thought you're from the Elite Tigre Special Warfare Brigade. How could anyone injure you and your men? Don't you and your men practice your skills?"
Craig and his men faces turned red with embarrassment upon hearing what was said.
Craig's face was flushed as he tried to defend himself. "Our fighting skills were great, but Nathan Cross was unfair. He sent a bunch of people to besiege us,” he said.
Craig was ashamed to admit that Nathan was the only person who fought against him and his men.
He needed to preserve his dignity. So, he changed the plot. The original story was Nathan was the only one who fought against him and his men. The amended version was Nathan found a bunch of people to besiege them.
As his emotions got stirred up telling his story, he forgot about his initial etiquette and glanced towards the General. His voice grew louder as he complained, "General. That wretched Nathan, he sent a few hundred people to besieged us...."
His voice went mute the second he saw the General's full face.
His mind panicked when he realized that the General looked exactly like Nathan Cross!
The General is...Nathan Cross!
As the realization seeps in, he felt his world crumbling.
Boom!
He felt like he was struck by lighting and he couldn't move his body.
Nathan grinned. He looked at Craig Carney with amusement and said, "Did I find a few hundred people to besiege you and your men?"
Craig looked at Nathan with his mouth agape. He recovered his wits and mumbled, "Nathan Cross... You. You are the General?"
Nathan didn't confirm nor deny the statement. He laughed and said, "After teaching you a lesson, I thought I asked you and your men to go back and practice your skills and don't go out and embarrass yourself."
"Why did you and your men come and cause trouble at Channing military territory?"
Craig's face was dripping with sweat. He stammered and mumbled, but no words came out of his mouth.
Now he felt flustered and awkward!
If he knew that Nathan was the General, he wouldn't have the guts to cross him.
If he knew Nathan was the General, he would have sneaked back to Brimmopolis with his tail between his legs instead of causing a scene.
"General... Is there a misunderstanding between us?” He blurted out, trying to save himself from the situation.
Nathan gave a cold laugh and said, "Earlier on, you said I sent a few hundred people to besiege you. You asked for justice. How © content.
did it turn into a misunderstanding?"
