Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1689

Nathan and Penny entered, with Colin and Kylie following closely behind.

All of a sudden, they were approached by Kerk and Hayley who led a troupe of armed guards.

“It's them!” Hayley pointed at Nathan and Penny as she turned towards the captain of the guards. “These nouveaux riches showed up without an official invitation! They must have bribed the attendants and sneaked in here. Hurry, arrest them and give them a heavy punishment!”

Carson Weiner and his troupe had been assigned as the security forces for the evening reception. They had to maintain utmost order and ensure the safety of all the leaders and important guests.

This event had been specially hosted to welcome the Foreign Minister of Xyperia. Besides the Cabinet leaders, the First Lady herself would grace this reception with her presence too. Rumors went around that the General of the North would also make an appearance.

On such a pivotal evening like this, Carson and his troupe could not afford to make any mistakes.

He did not waste a second upon receiving Hayley's reports about a few uninvited people who had slipped past security and entered the venue. Not a single intruder could be taken lightly.

With a stern look at Nathan and the group, Carson questioned in a deep voice, “Sir, can you please show your invitation and let us verify?”

Kerk and Hayley narrowed their gaze at them.

Nathan smiled calmly. “I don't have an invitation.”

At his response, everyone around them turned and stared in shock.

They were expecting that man and his companions to at least explain or defend themselves in such a situation. Who would've known he'd admit so bluntly that he didn't have an invitation!

Carson frowned.

Kerk on the other hand, curved his lips upwards into a smirk.

“See? I was right about these nouveaux riches! They sneaked in without invitation,” Hayley exclaimed loudly in arrogance. “What are you waiting for? He has admitted it himself, so why not arrest these rats and throw them into prison

right away?”

Carson's eyes scanned Nathan from head to toe. Something didn't feel right. “Sir, can you explain how you managed to enter without an invitation?”

“It's simple,” Nathan replied with a smile. “The guards at the entrance let me in immediately after I told them who I am.”

All of a sudden, an image of the fearsome God of War in his military uniform surfaced in Carson's mind.

He's the General!

His eyes widened in surprise and awe.

This man who stood tall and straight before himself with a charming, all-knowing gaze, was none other than the General of the North!

Meanwhile, Kerk and Hayley went on with their mockery.

“Captain Weiner, why bother with his identity? He didn't even declare his position or his background. Does he think he can just throw his name around like a useful title?” Hayley taunted.

“Look at how confident he seemed when he revealed his name! People could've been fooled into thinking he's some powerful commanding officer,” Kerk chuckled.

Hayley scoffed at her husband's remark. “He's but a mere orphan, let alone a commanding officer. What a joke!”

“Look, Captain Weiner. There's no need to talk to him anymore. Just round them up now!” Kerk couldn't wait any longer. “Otherwise, things will look bad when the Xyperian minister and the representatives, the General, Mr. Davier, the First Lady and the Minister of Foreign Affairs arrive.” “That's right! Arrest them quickly!” Hayley chimed in eagerly.
