Salute To The General



Meanwhile, the birthday banquet was taking place in Indigo Palace.

Upon hearing a commotion from outside, Hansel knitted his brows and asked Camilla, "What's happening?"

Camilla had no clue, either. However, since it was her husband's big day, she felt she had to fulfill her role as a wife and make sure the guests had a good time there.

She whispered in his ear, “I'm not sure. Perhaps we have more guests coming? I'll go and take a look." Right then, Nathan stood up and stopped her from leaving. “It's all right. You all stay here. I'll entertain the guests on your behalf."

He then stood up and walked out of the door.

As someone who was born with an extraordinary hearing ability, Nathan could tell someone was trying to stir up trouble. That was why he volunteered to find out who the troublemaker was.

Sage and a few subordinates from the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor caught up with Nathan upon seeing that. Before Nathan could make it to the entrance, Quinten, one of the Elite Eight members, rushed in and headed toward Nathan.

Nathan frowned and asked, "What's with the commotion out there, Quinten? And why do you lose your composure?"

Quinten saluted Nathan and whispered, "Bad news, sir. Braydon Goodall, the head of the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit, is here with a large group of his men."

“What are they doing here?" Nathan asked.

Quinten answered, "He said he wanted to arrest someone but didn't say who. He also reprimanded Captain Dunne, telling him to get out of his way. Captain Dunne was so mad that he stopped Braydon and his men from coming in."

Nathan's expression turned grim, and he said icily, "Ask Braydon to do us a favor. He can arrest whoever he wants after the banquet. I don't want him to put a damper on Mr. Windsor's birthday celebration."

Quinten responded, "Yes, sir!"

He then turned around and walked away.

Before Quinten left, Nathan called out to him again. "Hold on! I heard this Braydon Goodall is not easy to deal with, and I don't think he'll listen to you. Sage, why don't you follow Quinten and pass the message to him personally?"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Sage replied, "All right, sir. I'll take care of it. Enjoy the dinner with Mr. Windsor and the other guests."

Nathan nodded and returned to the banquet.

Sage and a few subordinates from the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor then walked to the door.

Hansel, Camilla, and Zion looked at Nathan as he walked in.

Hansel asked softly, "What is it all about?"

Nathan smiled. "It's just a small matter. I've asked my subordinate to take care of it."

Hansel frowned and stopped eating.

Based on Nathan's expression, Hansel could tell something was amiss. He pulled a straight face and asked in a serious tone, "Tell me what's going on."

Upon hearing that, Camilla, Zion,

Penny, and the others froze for a moment and turned their attention to Nathan.

At Hansel's insistence, Nathan

cleared his throat and explained, "Braydon Goodall from the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit and his men had gathered at the entrance. They wanted to come in to arrest someone. I've asked my man to tell him not to disturb your birthday celebration. He Can arrest anyone after the banquet."

Hansel's eyes widened.

He knew what the Special Investigation Unit from the Integrity

Department was all about. Braydon must have come to arrest someone for suspected corruption. But all the guests here are my family members, trusted comrades, and favorite disciples. Above all, it is my birthday celebration! This is not going to look good on me, is it?

He would be utterly embarrassed if the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit were to capture any of his guests on his big day!

Hansel's expression darkened. He

had always maintained a good reputation although he was no longer in power. Besides, he was also someone who cared about his public image, and he would constantly remind his subordinates and disciples to abide by the laws and regulations.

I can't believe the Special Investigation Unit from the Integrity Department is here to arrest someone during my birthday celebration! It's so embarrassing.

Shocked and infuriated, Hansel swept his glance past the people present, trying to figure out who had committed corruption and caused him to be humiliated on his big day.

He eventually turned his attention to Nathan and asked, "Braydon said he came to arrest someone, right? Did he name the suspect?"

Nathan answered, "Nope. He came to the wrong place and at the wrong time. I asked my subordinate to tell him to carry out his operation after the banquet. Let's enjoy your birthday celebration for now, shall we?"

Hansel put down his fork and spoon and wiped his hands with a napkin. With a sullen face, he raised his voice. "How can I enjoy my birthday when the Special Investigation Unit came to arrest one of my guests? I'll become a laughingstock because of this!"
