Salute To The General

Bryon, Nathan, and the others entered the limousines. Then they left the port with a large group of police and military vehicle protecting them.

However, the moment the cars left the port, they encountered an unexpected situation.

There were a few police cars blocking the way ahead. A handful of potbellied Ariarican policemen had already pulled out their guns as though they were preparing for a fight.

A situation like that put Bryon's bodyguards and Nathan's National Guards on high alert.

Whoosh!

Colin, Elite Eight, and Bryon's bodyguards in black suits instantly surrounded the Lincoln limousine to protect Bryon, Nathan, and Penny, who were inside the vehicle. There were a total of six layers of protection. With slightly furrowed eyebrows, Nathan glanced at Bryon.

The latter explained, "No need to worry, Mr. Cross, Mrs. Cross. I don't think it's a serious issue. Let me take care of it."

He then turned to his assistant, Wally, who was sitting in the passenger's seat.

Wally nodded with understanding.

Then he swiftly picked up the intercom in the car and questioned in a deep voice, "What's going on at the front? Relevant staff, please answer immediately."

Soon, they received an answer from the intercom. Max was the one speaking. "There was a minor incident. A few policemen keeping the order discovered a thief was on the loose and had captured him on the spot. Now that the thief has been apprehended, the situation is under control. The cars will be able to pass through now. No need to worry, President Bryon."

Rage flashed past Bryon's face as he uttered coldly, "Is it necessary for so many policemen to be mobilized to capture one thief? Get the leader of that group of policemen to meet me."

Moments later, a big-bellied Ariarican police officer was brought to the limousine.

When the window of the vehicle came down, it revealed Bryon's serious face.

He asked coldly, "What's your name?'

"My name's Soren," the officer replied.

"Don't you know what's happening today? Mr. Cross is visiting our country right now. Did you know that when you captured that thief, you blocked the path for our cars to pass through?"

Soren swiftly apologized, "The thief

is quite sly, President Bryon. We

elnet

feared he would run away, so we pulled our guns out to warn him. Only then did we succeed in

capturing him. I apologize for having disturbed you and Mr. Cross,

President Bryon."

With a frown, Bryon asked, "Who is

&

this thief? Is he really so formidable that you need to do all this stuff to

capture him? Bring him to most

"Roger!"

Soon, the thief that was captured was presented to the president.

It turned out that the wretched thief was an Astorian man.

Disbelief was written on Bryon's face.

"Why does he look like a Eurasian?"

Soren blurted, "Eurasians love to come here and pickpocket people. They are born thieves."

The moment Penny and the others heard that, their expressions were lit up with fury.

Even Nathan's expression darkened.

The surrounding reporters rushed forward and took an insane amount of pictures of the scene.

Nathan suddenly realized that might not have been an accident. Instead, it could've been an act arranged by Ariarica in order to humiliate him. Thus, he shot a glance at Colin.

When Colin saw that, he took out his phone and captured a photo of the thief standing not too far away from the car.

Bryon pretended to scold Soren. "What nonsense are you saying?"

Instead of lowering his voice, Soren

spoke louder while looking dumbfounded. "I'm just telling the

truth! Eurasianse

thieves Isn't this thief enough

evidence to prove my point?"

QUMS

born

Bryon continued to pretend to be angry as he glanced at Nathan. I wonder what kind of terrible expression he's wearing right now.

To his surprise, Nathan didn't seem like he was panicking or angry at all. Instead, it was as though he was watching monkeys putting on a play.
