Salute To The General

Under the crowd's gaze and the live broadcast of innumerable journalists, Nathan stepped onto the red carpet and strode forward until he reached the stage.

Zion stepped forward and greeted the man with a smile. The two of them then shook hands vigorously.

Thereafter, he proclaimed, "Our president is here!"

Again, the crowd erupted in deafening applause, and Zion tactfully retreated to the side.

With that, only Nathan was left at the podium, standing proudly.

Below the stage, representatives from all walks of life, including Hansel and the other elders, Fang and other major generals from the military, as well as Zion and other members of the Great Cabinet, were gazing at the man with excitement written all over their faces. Likewise, Penny, Queenie, Kylie, Benson, Leah, and the others in the VIP section were wearing expressions of adulation. They were very much proud of the man.

Hello, everyone. I'm the new president of Eurasia, Nathan Cross. I hereby take the inaugural oath as the President."

As Nathan's loud and powerful voice rang out, everyone present quietened down. All of them perked up their ears to listen to his inaugural oath.

The cameras and video cameras of the journalists there were all focused on him.

Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot pierced the air.

A bullet flew at Nathan, aiming right between his eyes.
