Salute To The General
Chapter 2385

Hubert smirked while staring at Nathan. "Hah, such arrogance! But I do like to teach an insolent fool like you a lesson. Men, since this man refuses to leave, break his legs and throw him out."

"Understood!"

The few men behind Hubert immediately walked toward Nathan with grim expressions.

Seeing this, Cheryl's expression darkened slightly.

Before she could stop Hubert, Colin

had already appeared in front of Nathan and blocked the bodyguards' path, saying solemnly, "Did someone not tie up their dogs properly? Who dares to show disrespect toward Mr. Cross?"

Hearing this, Hubert's men were enraged. They roared and pounced at Colin, intending to teach him a lesson.

The latter was unfazed and met the charge head-on as an intense fight broke out among them.

The surrounding guests saw what was happening and quickly got out of the way while exclaiming in shock.

Thump! Thump'.

Colin defeated all of them in the blink of an eye.

Although Hubert's bodyguards were extremely skilled, and their fighting prowess was far greater than the special forces, it was unfortunate that they were going up against Colin, the former Ultimate King of Warrior of the North Army. Hubert was initially very confident of his subordinates' abilities. However, upon witnessing them being defeated by Colin, his eyes immediately widened in shock.

Still pissed off after defeating those men, Colin said to Hubert coldly, "Are you going to kneel and apologize, or should I help you out?"

The latter's face paled as he instantly sobered up.

As a member of the Norris family, one of the five Reclusive Families, he would not kneel and apologize in front of so many people, even if someone threatened to kill him. However, if he did not comply, the well-built, muscular man in front of him would personally force him to kneel.

Sweat dotted his forehead as his expression turned ghastly.

Just then, he heard someone call out, "What's going on?"

Shortly after, the crowd parted to create a path as a middle-aged man dressed in black walked over. He was surrounded by a group of people.

The man was none other than Layden.

He looked at the injured men sprawled on the ground before shifting his gaze to Hubert. "What's the matter, Hubert?" he asked with a frown.

When Hubert saw Cayden, it was as though he had seen his savior. He quickly approached the older man and related everything exaggeratedly, accusing Nathan of bullying him.

Upon seeing that, Cheryl immediately spoke up. "That's not true, General Quillen. Let me explain everything to you!"

She then explained the whole situation to Cayden.

After listening to Hubert and Cheryl's statements, Cayden had a rough idea of what was going on.

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes when his gaze landed on Nathan, who remained seated.

Upon his return, he had received news that Marshall's mission of leading the Hyenas to kill Nathan had failed. They were annihilated and their bodies were sent back to Ariarica as a warning from Nathan.

He did not expect to meet Nathan on his first day back in the country and under such circumstances.

"So you're Nathan Cross. I've heard of your reputation," he said calmly.

"Hubert is the son of my acquaintance. There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding in this matter. Why don't we put this matter behind us? There's no need for an apology."

Upon hearing Layden's words, Nathan initially wanted to show him some respect and let go of the incident.

However, he suddenly noticed Hubert giving him a taunting look from beside the older man as he beamed with smugness.

Before he could respond, Layden had already turned to address Hubert. "All right. All is well now. Everyone can disperse and go back to drinking now."

Nathan's expression darkened

instantly.

""Wait a minute!" he said with an icy tone.

Layden and the others froze in their tracks.

The former turned to face Nathan. "Is there something else?"

Nathan responded coolly, "I don't think that this is a misunderstanding, and I insist that those who've made a mistake must be punished. Hubert insulted me and ordered his subordinates to attack me, so he must kneel down and apologize to me." Cayden frowned upon hearing Nathan's words. He knew that the latter was once the Commander-In-Chief of the North Army and hailed as Eurasia's God of War.

However, he had already retired and was idling at home, whereas Cayden was soon to be Assistant Chief Military Governor, whose position was merely a rank below the Chief Military Governor.

If Nathan was wise, he should have shown Cayden some respect and not continue arguing over this matter.

Cayden was angered by the former's persistence.

Showing his displeasure, he inquired, "Are you sure you want him to kneel and apologize, Nathan?"

Everyone could feel Layden's anger as the atmosphere at the scene turned frigid, causing them to shudder involuntarily.

Despite that, Nathan was unaffected. He insisted in a perfectly calm voice, "Kneel!"
