Joseph Myers stared at Nathan Cross and forced a smile onto his face. "So you're Ms. Smith's

husband. What do you do for a living?"

"I protect the country." Nathan Cross said lightly.

Joseph Myers' eyes widened. "What?"

"Don't listen to him, Mr. Myers. He used to be a poor soldier who quit not long ago. He's unemployed

Joseph Myers scoffed after he heard that. "Huh. I've never seen a poor soldier talk so highly about

with some unemployed thug.

and start beating people up for hurting his ego. He was not the type to let even the smallest insult slide.

to protect the country for all of us. I don't see anything wrong with what Nathan Cross just said, and
