Female Novel
Chapter 568 No One Believes Him
The moment Penny questioned Nathan, everyone turned to him as one, looking at him with equally
suspicious eyes as they waited for his answer.
To be able to summon the mayor of Channing and Major-General Wilson as reinforcements was really
too awesome!
Everyone was curious as to how Nathan had pulled it off.
Nathan cracked a small smile and answered, "Since things have already gotten to this point, I guess I
can only confess. I'm actually the General of the North. Mobilizing the SWAT team, military special
forces, and the regular army is a piece of cake to me.”
What?
General of the North!
The Smiths were stunned, to say the least!
Penny was dazed in the beginning, but it quickly morphed into anger. She raised her hand to gently
smack Nathan on his shoulder and nagged at him, "Nathan, can you be serious for just a second? How
can you even joke at a time like this?"
Her entire family was shocked when they heard Nathan's answer.
However, when they heard what Penny said, they gradually came back to their senses.
They had previously done a background check on Nathan. The information they gathered had stated
that he was a war veteran, but there was no sign of the word 'general' in there whatsoever!
Besides, Nathan had come looking for Penny the moment he was discharged from the army, and he
had been staying at Penny's house ever since then, refusing to leave.
To say that he was a live-in son-in-law was putting it mildly. He was practically a useless man that
depended on his wife's family!
Who would believe that he was the General of the North?
Suddenly, sneers of mockery shrouded Nathan as the Smiths ridiculed him, saying that he was
pretentious and taking advantage of this situation to elevate his status.
A wry smile danced on Nathan's lips when he saw that no one believed him when he was in fact telling
the truth.
All of them didn't believe his explanation and continued peppering him with the same question, asking
how he had asked the mayor and Major General to offer help.
No one believed him, so he was struggling to formulate a response.

After the engines were cut off, five men in navy uniforms hopped down. The one leading at the forefront
was the captain.
And the navy captain was none other than Ferlyn's current boyfriend, Chris Perry.
Chris had heard from Ferlyn that the Smiths were in trouble.
Hence, he had dropped everything, gathered a few of his comrade-in-arms and driven hundreds of
miles to the Smith residence.
He heard that the Smiths had offended the Griffins from the East. With only a handful of men with him,
he had no idea if he would be able to rescue the Smiths. Worry had gnawed at his chest throughout his
journey here.
He never expected to find out that Damon Griffin and his party had already been taken away by the
army when he arrived at Channing.
When he learned of this news, he was surprised and elated at the same time. He had rushed here
immediately to see his girlfriend, Ferlyn.
He was leading his comrade-in-arms over to meet Ferlyn's family, but suddenly spotted Nathan Cross!
Chris was the navy captain of a submarine chaser in the South. Nathan had previously visited his
warship to give a speech, so he was able to recognize him as the General of the North at first glance.
As soon as he saw Nathan, his eyes had widened and his face showed a drastic change in expression.
He subconsciously squared his shoulders and lifted his hand in a salute.
He had just wanted to call him 'general', but Nathan had beaten him to it.
Nathan saluted and called out, "Sir!"
S... Sir!
Chris was slightly dazed. He was only but a measly captain, while Nathan was the General of the
North.
The Northern General had saluted him first and addressed him as 'sir'.

Chris was no fool, otherwise, he wouldn't have been promoted to become a captain.
Even though he felt awkward, he forced himself to say, "Hm, at ease. It's good to see you."
