Salute To The General

When Hamish heard that, he could not help but ask, "But it's Mr. Windsor's birthday today. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to deal with Zion on such an occasion?"

Erwin merely replied flatly, "Tell Braydon to do his job. There's nothing that he has to worry about."

Hamish realized that his father had been tolerating Zion all the while and was finally determined to deal with Zion.

He nodded and replied, "Sure. I'll inform Mr. Goodall at once."

"Go!" Erwin dismissed his son with a wave.

After Hamish left, Erwin stood up, walked to one side of the room, and turned on the record player.

Then, he picked up The Art of War before sitting down again and started reading the book.

While he read, the record player was playing an old tune in the background.

Meanwhile, the Elite Eight and Felidae Battalion, led by Colin, were standing guard at the entrance of Indigo Palace to ensure that Hansel's birthday celebration went on smoothly.

As the Chief Military Governor had given instructions that no hiccups were allowed at the birthday banquet to ensure that his mentor would be able to spend the day happily, Colin and his subordinates were on high alert, even more so than when they were carrying out their duties at the military base.

Suddenly, the roaring sound of car engines could be heard, and Colin could not help but frown. Most of the passersby had also turned toward the direction of the sound with astonished expressions on their faces.
