Salute To The General

The next morning, Nathan brought Collins and the Elite Eight with him to visit Zion, intending to understand the situation. However, when they arrived at the offices of the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit, they were denied entry.

The gatekeepers stopped them with an emotionless expression on their faces.

The leader of the gatekeepers spoke in a monotonous, professional tone. "I'm sorry, Chief Cross, but we're not accepting visitors at the moment.

Since you didn't make any appointments, you can't enter."

Nathan furrowed his eyebrows while his subordinates were enraged.

Colin exclaimed, "What did you say? Chief Cross enters the Cabinet and White House daily without anyone stopping him, so how can he be denied entry here? You lot are disrespecting him! Tell the person in charge of this place to come out and face the Chief Military Governor!"

Just as he finished, a cold sneer was heard.

"They're just doing their jobs, Mr. Dunne. Why are you taking out your anger on them? Besides, they aren't your troops. You don't have the right to punish them," Sigurd uttered once he stepped out of the office with his subordinates. The gatekeepers made way for him as he walked out.
