Salute To The General

Chapter 3488 As You Wish

"Why should I have to prove anything to you if I don't intend to be the commander-in-chief?" Nathan said coldly. "What kind of attitude is this?"

"We are doing this with a most serious attitude, constantly in consideration for the best interests of humanity," Eugene IV said calmly. "Try and look at this objectively: everyone out there is saying you're one of the vampires. Even if you don't become the commander-in- chief of the alliance, you're still a person of great importance within it. The most powerful God of War of mankind. Being such a pivotal figure, do you think we would be at ease if you turn out to be a vampire?"

Nathan stared at Eugene IV. "It seems to me that I'm going to have to prove my identity today, one way or another," he said indifferently.

"Please try and understand, Mr. Cross," Eugene IV said. "If you persist in refusing to prove your innocence, it will only backfire and deepen our suspicions about you. Once you've proven your innocence, we can elect you as the commander-in-chief of the Earth Alliance. Together, we can face the dangers and protect our planet. What do you say?"

Nathan turned to Wolfric and Leopold. "Do all of you feel the same way?" he asked them.

Wolfric braced himself. "Yes. If you can prove that you're not a vampire, we'll elect you as the first commander of the alliance, Mr. Cross. It's hard for us to trust you if you can't prove your innocence!"

Eiken and Tyrell, among others, voiced their opinions in quick succession.

Nathan turned to look at Leopold again.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Leopold did not dare meet Nathan's gaze. He lowered his head and said softly, "Since you are a human, Mr. Cross, why not prove your innocence? When the time comes, everyone will recommend you as the commander-in-chief. Wouldn't that be great?"

Gods of War behind Leopold all nodded in agreement.

"We in the church have a type of water called the Tear of God. Normal people can drink it without any problems.
