Salute To The General
Chapter 3484 Francis Requests An Audience

Seeing that Eugene IV wasn't fooled, Wolfric was inwardly cursing him.

But on the surface, he replied, "Yeah. As the commander-in-chief of the global village, this concerns all humanity. We must be extremely cautious. If Mr. Cross can prove his innocence and that he's not a vampire, I'll agree to him taking the role of commander-in-chief." Eiken and Tyrell, among others, all expressed their agreement.

But at the same time, there were also quite some War Gods who were still hesitant about it, and some others were observing Leopold's reaction. Wolfric asked Leopold with a smile, "What do you think?"

Leopold and Nathan share a good personal relationship, and in recent years, the relations between their two countries have been very close.

He did not mind having Nathan as the commander-in-chief of the global village. After all, in the face of threats from the Divine Realm in outer space, it seemed that only Nathan could serve a pivotal role for humanity and confront the Gods head-on.

Then again, if Nathan isn't a human, then we can't let him become the commander-in-chief. Essentially, those who aren't the same kind aren't like-minded. The fate of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a vampire.

He finally nodded. "I also think it'd be better for Mr. Cross to step forward and clarify things. But it's not easy to explain something like this. How is he going to prove that he's not a vampire?"

Eugene IV immediately said with a grin, "That's easy. The Curia is an authority in this regard. We have a way to distinguish humans and vampires."

After saying that, he fished out a small crystal bottle from his sleeve and explained to everyone, "This is the Tear of God. When humans drink the Tear of God, they will experience no reaction. But if vampires were to drink the Tear of God, it'll trigger the power of vampires within him, causing him to lose control and expose his true identity."

At that point, he raised the crystal bottle and continued, "So, if Mr. Cross drinks the Tear of God in front of everyone and experiences no changes, then it'll prove he's not a vampire. If he's not a vampire, I'd be the first to step forward and nominate him as the commander- in-chief of our global village.""

Wolfric immediately chimed in, "Me too!"

Eiken and the others also agreed, "Me too!"

After a slight hesitation, Leopold broke his silence. "Since everyone agrees to that, I, too, support this suggestion."

Seeing how the War Gods all agreed to that method, Wolfric curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "Great. Let's immediately send someone to inform Mr. Cross and have him come to prove his innocence in front of us."

...

Meanwhile, inside the study room of the White House, Nathan slumped tiredly against his chair, with his eyes shut for a short rest.

The night before, he defeated

Gryffen and captured several Gods, and after his return, he held an emergency meeting with the Cabinet and the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor. He was so busy he did not get any sleep the whole night.

He was feeling worn out at that point.

However, just as he closed his eyes for a rest, firm knocks at the door rang out.

Subsequently, Colin strode in from outside.

With a concerned look, Colin called out, "Mr. Cross?"

Nathan opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Colin responded, "Eugene IV is here. Our people have escorted him to the State Guesthouse."

A frown marred Nathan's countenance. "Why is he here?"

"I'm guessing it's for the Gods,"

answered Colin. "And probably also to cause trouble. He incited the War Gods from various countries to demand proof that you're not a

vampire the moment he arrived at

the State Guesthouse..."

It turned out that Colin had ordered the staff members of the State Guesthouse to monitor the activities of Wolfric and the others in secret.

Hence, Colin knew about the situation like the back of his hand.

Upon learning about Wolfric and Eugene IV's plans, Colin immediately reported it to Nathan.

Nathan let out a cold snort. "The

Curia is actually the Gods' lackey on Earth. Pope Eugene is now here to replace fault after learning what

happened to the Gods. The lackey is doing a pretty good job, huh?

Colin concernedly replied, "Mr. Cross, they want you to prove your innocence. What should we do now?"

Before Nathan said anything, a guard entered and reported, "President Cross, the in-charge of the research team of Cross Research Team, Professor Ladell, requests an audience."
