Chapter 961 Open Your Eyes
Laughing mirthlessly, he waved the identification card in the air and cussed, "F***, | nearly fell for your idiotic ploy! Did you reallythink you could trick me with a fake identification card?”
Colin echoed his humorless laugh and asked, "What makes you think that's a fake?”novelbin
"Just look at what's stated next to the ‘position’ column! ‘Captain of National Guards"!had finally regained the upper hand.
Jaime shot back smugly, feeling like he
"If you're truly the Captain of National Guards, pray tell, what are you doing here instead of fulfilling your duties at your post, nextto the General of the North? What, are you going to tell me that Nathan Cross is the General himself?"
Colin pointed at Nathan, who was standing a short distance away and said earnestly, "You're right. Mr. Cross is my senior official,which makes him the General!"
Yet another round of boisterous laughter filled the atmosphere. To Jaime and his subordinates, Colin had just told them the jokeof the century.
Amidst fits of hysterics, Jaime said, "I've met a lot of military officers who turn out to be imposters in this lifetime, but this is thefirst I've seen a person who has the guts to claim the title of the General!"
Jaime continued to provoke Nathan by chortling obnoxiously and making gibes, "Hey, kiddo! Your underling says you're theGeneral! Say, do you also carry a fake military identification card with you to continue this hoax? Show it to me! Open my eyes toa whole new world! | want to see what you're capable of."
“Are you sure about that? Be careful what you wish for," Nathan cautioned placidly as if Jaime's taunts did not bother him.Still grinning, Jaime jested, "Yes, dear General!”
Nathan nodded in understanding and whipped out his phone to call Franklin. "Commander-in-chief of the Channing MilitaryDistrict, Franklin Wilson, | hereby order you to deploy two divisions and arrive at Riverside within ten minutes!"
Jaime, Wade, and their soldiers inhaled sharply when they heard his command.However, it was not out of fear but rather wry admiration for the man's commitment to his ruse.“Hahaha! Did | hear it wrong? This fellow has actually asked two divisions to show up within ten minutes!"
More titters followed that statement. "He must be insane! Does he really think we believe him just because Lieutenant ColonelDylan entertained his wild stories?"
Jaime's clique giggled among themselves as they derided Nathan. To them, his bold claims were no more than intricatefabrications.
Wade piped up, "Uncle Jaime, why are you humoring them? Everything he's saying is a farce. Just instruct your subordinates tocapture the lot and bring them back to our
base!"
Jaime's eyes curved into crescents from his broad smile as he rejected his nephew's suggestion, "No, no, no. I'll give them 15minutes. | want to see for myself how this man will ‘open my eyes’, as he so proclaims, and witness the majestic sight of twodivisions marching their way here!"
The soldiers roared with laughter and jeered at Nathan.
They knew their Lieutenant Colonel was pillorying Nathan. It would be a public crucifixion of Nathan's dignity if the army he sodaringly spoke of turned out to be non-existential.
Nathan maintained his composure as he regarded Jaime and his subordinates with a small smile playing on his lips.
Upon noticing Nathan's serene state, Jaime sniggered. "Look at him, acting all cool and collected, as if he actually has theauthority to deploy the army."
He glanced at his watch and said gleefully, "It has been ten minutes. You only have a few minutes left. Where are the soldiersyou promised us?"
