Chapter 1690
Nathan remained calm throughout. His faint smile emitted a subtle hint of ridicule.
Carson soon regained hisposure.
A look of fear clouded his face. He shot a fierce re at Kerk and Hayley. “Silence, you two!
Without hesitating for another second, he quickly tidied his uniform and straightened himself. As Kerk and Hayley stared in bewilderment, he looked
straight at Nathan and shouted, “Attention!”
“Salute!” hemanded.
A look of confusion flickered across the faces of his troupe.
As military officers, however, it was their first and foremost duty to obey orders.
There were over twenty of them. At Carson''smand, every single one of them immediately positioned himself and held up a hand in salutation.
“Greetings, General!” Carson shouted.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
His troupe followed suit. "Greetings, General!”
Kerk and Hayley gawked at the sight of the entire troupe giving their salutation. Many people around them turned and looked as they heard the
commotion.
Murmurs arose as the curious crowd wondered about Nathan''s identity.
“Wait, what''s going on?” Hayley eximed in disbelief. “They''re just a bunch of intruders! Why are you saluting him as if he''s a superior officer?”
“Indeed! Captain Weiner, could you have mistaken anything?” Kerk asked.
Carson shot the ignorant couple a cold nce. He quickly fixated his eyes back onto Nathan withplete reverence. “There''s no mistake. He is
none other than the pride of the army, the God of War. General Nathan Cross!”
General Nathan Cross?
Kerk and Hayley trembled as they gasped in horror.
Kerk just recalled what he had heard about the General earlier. His name indeed sounded like “Nathan Cross.”
The General whom he was supposed to aid as a foreignnguage interpreter tonight..
It can''t be... Is he the real General or just a
doppelganger?
Hayley shifted her horrified gaze from Nathan onto Penny, who stood beside him quietly all this while.
If he really was the General, then wouldn''t she be the General''s wife. a nobledy?
A sharp pang of jealousy overwhelmed her for a second before Hayley shook her doubts off. How is it possible that Penny is the General''s wife? This

“He must be an impostor!” Hayley shouted as she pointed at Nathan. “He can''t be the General!”

At these words, the guards behind Carson shot a puzzled nce at each other.
They were unsure of what to make of the situation. So is this man the real General, or is he not?
Just then, another uproar came from the entrance.
It was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Simeon Carlton, who had arrived with arge troupe

Hayley put on a simrly adting smile. "Mr. Carlton, please order your guards to arrest that impostor quickly!”
Impostor?
Simeon''s curious gaze followed in the direction where Kerk had pointed, only to be greeted by the sight of Nathan looking at him with a somewhat
amused smile.
With a slight jerk, he pushed Kerk and Hayley aside and rushed over to Nathan. “General! You''re here early,” he greeted politely as he stood in front
of Nathan.
General?
Kerk and Hayley froze in horror as they watched their superior greet Nathan in a simr fashion.
He really is the General!
“Hello there, Carlton.” Nathan smiled. “That man named Kerk, is he your subordinate?’
Realizing something was amiss,
Simeon nodded with a faint look of
astonishment on his face. “Yes, Kerk

“He and his wife were spreading word that I''m an impostor, and even asked the guards to arrest me,” Nathan replied inly. “Why don''t you exin to
them on my behalf?”
Simeon''s eyes widened in horror and exasperation. He turned towards Kerk and
Hayley with a fuming re. “You two! Come over here right now!” he bellowed.
