Salute To The General



Unafraid, Nathan did not hide nor escape, and he faced the fight with the Supreme Heavenly Duo head-on.

Irvin and Kit did not hold back. With all their strength, they launched a frightening attack on Nathan.

They used to be skilled fighters in the past.

However, after living idly for twenty years, they were no longer as strong as before and could not perform as well as they did at their peaks.

On the other hand, Cayden had never turned indolent as he held the hope of seeing daylight again while being held in the bottommost level of the Demon's Island Prison for over twenty years.

Therefore, Layden could easily beat the Supreme Heavenly Duo if one were to compare.

In that circumstance, it was not surprising that the Supreme Heavenly Duo was also not a challenge for Nathan, seeing how Layden could not even beat the latter.

When the battle started, the Supreme Heavenly Duo could still hold their ground against Nathan with their burst of energy.

However, after exchanging a few moves, they gradually started showing signs of weakness.

Since the fight was between skilled individuals, any flaw would seem magnified.

When Nathan noticed the Supreme Heavenly Duo slowing down, he seized the opportunity to send Kit flying backward with a punch and broke through Irvin's defenses with another two strikes. Then, he hit Irvin squarely in the chest with a flying kick.

Boom!

The impact cracked Irvin's ribs, and his chest sank inward.

Pft!

He coughed out a mouthful of blood as he flew a few meters away and landed on the ground like a rag doll.

"Urgh!"

Horrified, Kit shrieked with rage, seeing how Nathan attacked Irvin after forcing him back. With blood boiling in his veins, Kit lunged for Nathan and aimed to kick his head. Yet, Nathan did not flinch. He merely raised his leg and sent an earth-shattering kick.

Bang!

When Kit's leg was millimeters away from Nathan's face, Nathan's leg moved at lightning speed.

Before he knew it, he received a kick to his face, and blood splattered everywhere.

His cheekbones were shattered, and he fell meters away.

The Smith family could not hide their expressions when they saw Nathan win the fight against the duo easily. He did not even break into a sweat to bring them down.

Those not gagged with a towel began to cheer, "It was a good fight!"

At the same time, Penny could finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing her husband escape unscathed.

Unlike the rest, Jett's face turned pale, and he felt his heart sink when Nathan defeated the Supreme Heavenly Duo.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as Nathan got rid of Irvin and Kit, he turned his head to Jett and growled, "As the saying goes, there are no second chances. I gave you an option to live the last time. However, you failed to cherish it, so you can't blame anyone for this situation."

Gritting his teeth, Jett seethed, "Nathan, you can't act like you are above the law because you can fight. I am a retired soldier and have earned the honor after serving in the military. Other than the military, no one else can touch me. You can try totay your hands on me. However, my family, friends, and disciples will never let you off. Even the Chief Military Governor might not let the matter rest."

Nathan was about to speak when suddenly they heard the roar of the engines of several vehicles.

It was followed by a flurry of footsteps.

They also faintly heard an order, "Surround the place and do not let anyone escape."

Seconds later, the front door of the Smith family's home burst open to reveal a general and a fleet of soldiers. The group of men in uniforms strode in. They were led by Franklin, the general from Channing military district.

He had rushed here with his men as soon as he found out there was an attack on the Smith family.

The Chief Military Governor had reminded him to take care of his family in Channing on several occasions. Since someone dared to attack them on his territory, Franklin had to take action against them.

Shortly before they stormed in, Jett knew he had no chance of escaping. Therefore, he wanted to use his status as a retired military soldier to scare Nathan and stay alive.

To his delight, the soldiers from the Channing military district appeared as if on cue.

Seeing the situation as a glimpse of hope for himself, Jett quickly rushed over to them and greeted, "General, am on your side. My name is Jett, and I am a retired military soldier. As you can see, I've met some trouble. Could you help-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Franklin's men pulled him away.

"Do not block our General's path!"

Hearing that, Jett was taken aback.

Little did he know that he was in for a bigger surprise.

Franklin continued to walk briskly toward Nathan. Standing in front of Nathan, he raised his hand and greeted, "Greetings, Chief Cross. Please accept my apologies for being late."

Immediately, the entire fleet of soldiers mirrored Franklin's actions and greeted Nathan. "Greetings, Chief Military Governor!"

The Chief Military Governor?

Not everyone from the Smith family knew Nathan's identity. Their eyes widened at the sudden revelation, and they stared at Nathan with their mouths agape.

Sean shakingly called out, "My granddaughter-in-law is the Chief Military Governor! Our ancestors would be proud!"

Similarly, Samuel, Paul, and the rest excitedly chatted. Samuel also proclaimed aloud, "I already saw Nathan as a powerful man the first time we

met."

Of course, many from the Smith family rolled their eyes in response.
