Salute To The General

Nathan was watching Nelson, and Nelson was studying Nathan as well.

Nathan was a handsome man with a unique presence.

Nevertheless, Nelson still could not help but think to himself. This man is too young. He's only in his early thirties, but he's already the President. He's only the acting President, but still, he's the one with the most power. The past Presidents were all in their seventies and eighties.

Despite feeling upset, he still had to greet and bow to the acting President. "Greetings, esteemed acting President Cross. It seems like you're having a meeting. I didn't interrupt you, did I?"

Nelson had deliberately added the word "acting," seemingly to remind Nathan that he was just the acting president of the country instead of the actual president.

Zion and the others were immediately irked.

Nevertheless, the small smile continued to stay on Nathan's calm face. "Haha. Greetings, Mr. Freeman. Indeed, we're having a meeting, but we're just civil servants for the people. It's our duty to serve the people, and so, you can't say that you're disrupting us at all." Upon hearing that, Nelson's expression turned grim.

Zion initially froze, but he soon began smiling.

Nathan's truly a man who would not let others bully him. Just a moment ago, Nelson was pointing out how Nathan was only the acting President, but now, Nathan has subtly commented on how Nelson's a mere civilian.

After forcing himself to regain his composure, Nelson said, "Acting President Cross, and other sirs present, I'm sure you've heard of how I'm planning to join the presidential election, right?"

Nathan only smiled in silence at that.
