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 wee the Foreign Minister of Xyperia. Besides the Cab 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.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
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 hispanions to at least exin 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 eximed 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 exin 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.
Hayley jeered, "They let you in
because of y6ur identity? Who do
you think you are? Some .
high- ranking official or a x
commanding officer?” She turned to
Carsdn and prompted, ‘Captairi
Weiner, there''s no need to waste
time with these clowns. Just arrest
!"

all of them!
A steadfast and grounded person himself, Carson ignored Hayley''s urges and decided to rify the uninvited guests’ identities before taking action.
“Can you tell us who you are, then?” “I''m Nathan Cross,” Nathan answered
The onlookers were taken aback by Nathan''s extremely simple reply. That''s it? He only said his name!
Hayley burst intoughter. “That''s all you can sayr
Kerk let out a scoff. "This guy must be an idiot! We''re asking for his identity, not just a single name.
Carson, however, continued staring at Nathan in suspicion and amazement.
Most people would usually introduce themselves by saying "My name is so and so. "Only those with absolute confidence will say, “I''m so and so.
From hispletely unshakenposure, he could somehow feel that this man whe called himself Nathan Cross wasn''t just anymoner.
At the same time, that name sounded familiar. Nathan Cross...
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 dere 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 powerfulmanding officer,”
Kerk chuckled.
Hayley scoffed at her husband''s remark. “He''s but a mere orphan, let alone amanding officer. What a joke!”
“Look, Captain Weiner. There''s no
need to talk tehim anymore. Just
round themcup now!” Kerk couldn''t
wait any, fonger. “Otherwise, things.
will look.bad when the Xyperian.>
minister and the representatives, the
General, Mr. Davier, the FirstLady
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
arrive.” “That''s right! Arrest them
quickly!” Hayley chimed in eagerly.
