Salute To The General
Chapter 2700

Half a month had passed, and during that time, Max and the other leaders were busy recruiting the most powerful men for their mission.

On the other hand, Nathan had also ordered his men to raise their alert level and heighten security.

Initially, Nathan thought Max would get mad at him after he dealt with Nelson, who gathered leaders from hundreds of nations for a military convention. Nathan would not be surprised if Max was angry and started to lash out.

However, Nathan was surprised that Max did not make a move after news of Nelson's death broke.

The military convention that over a hundred nations attended also seemed unusually quiet.

As such, Nathan and Zion grew suspicious.

After a routine meeting with the Cabinet that day, Nathan and Zion stayed behind.

When everyone else had left, the two men started to converse.

Among other things, Nathan also brought up Ariarica's lack of activity. He wondered if they were up to something no good.

Zion was suspicious of them too, but he flashed a smile and calmly responded, "President Cross, it might be a good thing that they are so quiet. We don't know if they are plotting something in secret now, so we can only rely on our men to collect more information on them. Other than that, we should let our forces stand on guard."

Nathan nodded. "Mm!"

Then, Zion changed the topic. "President Cross, although you are only an acting president for the nation, it is almost certain that you will be elected president in two days. Let me give you my congratulations in advance."

"This time, I've been pushed into the spotlight and have no choice but to take up that position." Nathan sighed with a bitter smile.

"Zion, you are the Cabinet secretary. In the future, I will need your support on many things."

Without missing a beat, Zion replied, "If it weren't for your support, I would not even know where I'll end up today. Regardless of work or personal matters, I'll do my best to repay the country and you for your kindness." "You only have to focus on serving the country!"

Then, Zion cautiously probed, "President Cross, after the inauguration ceremony in two days and the official announcement, you will become the president officially. Do you have any instructions for me regarding the ceremony?" Nathan casually stated, "Keep everything simple."

His response surprised Zion, but he recalled that Nathan liked to stay low-key and never wanted anything extravagant.

In addition, Garrett passed away only a month ago. For that reason, Nathan probably wanted a simple ceremony.

"Yes, President Cross. I'll make the necessary arrangements."

Nodding, Nathan acknowledged, "Okay. I have faith in your ability in making the arrangements."

That night, a taxi drove through the roads of the city.

Suddenly, there were lights flashing in front of it.

It turned out that a few special police officers were conducting special checks on the cars that passed by.

"Please stop your car at the side and hand over your identification."

The driver, Bolt, quickly followed the instructions and pulled out his identification card for the special police to run their checks.

The head of the special police force was a square-faced man.

He scanned the card and noted that there were no issues with it. Then, he turned on his flashlight and shone it on the back seat of the taxi. Noticing that a blonde man was sitting there, the policemen frowned and interrogated, "Who is sitting in your taxi?" Bolt hurriedly replied, "My passenger is a foreign reporter who requested to take my taxi to enter the city."

Those words made the policeman frown again. He scoffed, "A foreign reporter? Shouldn't he be taking the taxi from the airport if he came from another country? What would he be doing here? We have something coming up soon and have to check on foreigners who enter the city. Please open the door and let us inspect him." When Bolt heard that the foreigner might be a suspicious man, he quickly gave in and cooperated with the special police. He opened the door and tried to converse with the foreigner with hand signals to tell him that the special police force would like to inspect him.
