Meanwhile, in the headquarter of North Army, Nathan was in the middle of a conference with Fang, Destroyer, and Heptakill.
According to the intel they had gathered, Xyperia never showed any signs of waging war against the North.
Thus, Nathan was certain the Cabinet had dispatched him back to the North because of the Goldstein family and Clifford's instructions. Perhaps it was part of their conspiracy to get their hands on his loved ones.
After he dismissed his subordinates, he brought Colin and the Elite Eight back to his office.
Along with two nurses by his side, a doctor had been waiting for Nathan in his office.
“General!” As the doctor greeted Nathan, the nurses by his side bowed at Nathan's presence.
Nathan waved and said, “Please be at ease, Dr. Sugg. I have summoned you and your team because I need the mask that has been developed to disguise one's look. Have you brought it along with you?”
Dr. Sugg was the research personnel affiliated with the army. His name was Caspar.
He was the person in charge of the development of Mask of Disguise, the advanced technology capable of changing a person's look.
The mask was made out of graphene, a durable material that was thinner than hair. As soon as another person put it on, they could disguise their look.
It was one of the many special types of equipment that was devised by the army for the personnel from the intelligence department.
As long as they had access to such a mask, they could change their look should they need to infiltrate another nation to gather intel for the country.
In fact, the mask could even deceive the top-notch biometric device that was developed to detect unusual facial expressions that were usually associated with such a mask.
Therefore, no ordinary man could tell those who had put on Mask of Disguise without the aid of advanced devices.
Caspar replied courteously, “General, I have everything you need with me. These are the masks we possess. As you can see, we have about a hundred different looks, and all of them are brand new. Please choose the one you deem
suitable for your mission.”
He switched on his laptop and showed Nathan the album that contained about a hundred different faces.
Colin frowned when he caught a glimpse of the masks that were available. “Huh? Are these the only ones we have? Don't you have any goodlooking mask?”
After Nathan took over the mirror from Colin, he was shocked by the ordinary-looking man in front of him. He had changed into a completely different person and seemed nothing similar to his usual look.
“It's great!” Nathan exclaimed in excitement.
Caspar continued explaining the things Nathan should be aware of patiently. “General, since this is a breathable mask, you won't feel any discomfort within a month after installation. If you want to take it off, you have to apply this custom-made ointment. That's the only way to remove the mask. Since you have disguised your look, you have to be aware of your behavior and voice. Otherwise, others may detect the similarities between the two personas.”
Nathan was pleased with the result. He smiled and denoted, “Alright, Dr. Sugg!”
He added in a serious manner, “Apart from that, I need you to keep my trip back to the South a secret between us because I need others to think I'm still in the North. First of all, I need to keep Xyperia at bay. Secondly, I need those who are conspiring against me to let their guards down.”
Caspar and the rest of his team replied simultaneously, “Yes, General!”
Nathan instructed Colin, “I want you to get me a ride back to Channing, but I'll be heading back on my own. None of you are allowed to tag along with me.”
Albeit reluctantly, Colin replied,
“Yes, General!”
