Salute To The General

Hearing that caused Nathan to frown slightly.

Penny, Colin, Ava, Elite Eight, and all other Eurasians were filled with rage.

Takashi, who came from Jetroina, called Nathan a coward after Nathan rejected Huey's request to give pointers to the Peacekeeping Forces soldiers and the soldiers' requests to spar with them.

Coincidentally, many people there were multilingual.

Among those was a soldier from

Eurasia called Lucio.

Lucio already had a pretty bad relationship with Takashi, so when he heard how Takashi insulted his president, he couldn't hold back anymore and reprimanded Takashi in public.

However, Takashi didn't seem at all apologetic for what he said. In fact, he even admitted that he called Nathan a coward.

At that moment, he turned to Nathan with a taunting look and exclaimed, "Power is everything in the military, and weaklings have to bow before the strong. Even though you're Eurasia's God Of War, you don't even have the guts to accept my challenge, so why should you have that title? Seems to me that you're just a coward!"

With a furious tone, Lucio barked back, "If a fight is what you want, a fight is what I'll give you, Takashi! Come, let us battle!"

Takashi snorted arrogantly. "You challenged me three times before, and you lost every single time. You don't have the right to fight with me anymore, loser. Right now, I want to challenge Eurasia's God of War!"

The moment he finished, he intentionally glanced at Nathan and uttered in a mysterious tone, "It's a shame that he doesn't have the guts to accept my challenge. It seems like the Eurasian military doesn't have anyone strong!"

When he saw how angry the people next to Nathan appeared, he was worried Nathan would punish him as the leader of Eurasia, so he quickly added, "This is a military base, Nathan. When I say I challenge you, I mean I want to face you as a soldier. If you're unwilling to accept my challenge and even use your authority to punish me, then there's nothing left for me to say."

The crowd's expression changed when they heard that.

Even Huey was cursing Takashi in his mind. This Jetroinian brat is too sly! Since he had said that, it wouldn't be a good look if Nathan used his authority to punish Takashi.

Everyone turned their attention to Nathan, wondering what he would do to resolve the issue.

Before Nathan could say anything, Penny couldn't ignore Takashi any longer.

She turned to her husband. "How about you show him what you're made of, Hubby? Let him see that he's just a frog in a well." With his clasped arms behind his back, Nathan shook his head lightly.

"No!"

That stunned her. "Why?"

Takashi paid close attention to Nathan's following words because he wanted to know why Nathan refused to spar with him. "Because he doesn't have the right to!" Nathan answered calmly.

Everyone was dumbfounded, including Takashi and Penny.

She thought for a while and realized

it made sense. Yeah, who does Takashi think he is? He doesn't have the right to make Nathan spar with him.

Then she turned to Colin. "How about you fight with him instead, General Dunne? Show him that—"

Colin shook his head as well with disdain. "No."

Penny was taken aback once more. "Why not?"

"He's too weak. I don't want to fight him. It's embarrassing."

The crowd exclaimed in shock.

Takashi's face darkened significantly.

If Nathan looked down on him, he was okay with it. However, he was enraged and embarrassed when even Nathan's subordinate condescendingly refused to battle.

In any case, Penny turned to Ava, hoping the latter would fight.

To her surprise, even Ava turned away and pretended not to see anything.

It was obvious that even Ava didn't want to fight Takashi.

The same thing happened when Penny shifted her gaze to Elite Eight. In the end, no one on Nathan's side treated Takashi seriously. They all thought it would be embarrassing if they fought with a clown like Takashi.
