Salute To The General

When Hamish heard that, he could not help but ask, "But it's Mr. Windsor's birthday today. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to deal with Zion on such an occasion?"

Erwin merely replied flatly, "Tell Braydon to do his job. There's nothing that he has to worry about."

Hamish realized that his father had been tolerating Zion all the while and was finally determined to deal with Zion.

He nodded and replied, "Sure. I'll inform Mr. Goodall at once."

"Go!" Erwin dismissed his son with a wave.

After Hamish left, Erwin stood up, walked to one side of the room, and turned on the record player.

Then, he picked up The Art of War before sitting down again and started reading the book.

While he read, the record player was playing an old tune in the background.

Meanwhile, the Elite Eight and Felidae Battalion, led by Colin, were standing guard at the entrance of Indigo Palace to ensure that Hansel's birthday celebration went on smoothly.

As the Chief Military Governor had given instructions that no hiccups were allowed at the birthday banquet to ensure that his mentor would be able to spend the day happily, Colin and his subordinates were on high alert, even more so than when they were carrying out their duties at the military base.

Suddenly, the roaring sound of car engines could be heard, and Colin could not help but frown. Most of the passersby had also turned toward the direction of the sound with astonished expressions on their faces.

A long fleet of black sedans were seen speeding on the road, heading toward the building.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

In fact, there were over a hundred Audis!

All of the cars screeched to a stop in front of the entrance of Indigo Palace.

Right after that, the car doors opened, and numerous tall and strong-built men with piercing gazes stepped out of the vehicles in a synchronized manner. They all wore identification tags and were dressed in suits and leather shoes.

With a crease between his brows,

Colin fixed his gaze on those uninvited guests.

Just then, he noticed a slight bulge under the men's shirts at their waist areas, in the shape of a handgun. They have guns!

Members of the Elite Eight were also staring at those mysterious men in shock. "Captain Dunne, what's going on?" they asked softly.

Looking at the well-trained men in

suits, Colin replied in a low voice, "It

l

seems like they are from the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit. Aren't these guys in charge of investigating

corruption? Why are they here?"

Immediately after Colin finished speaking, a muscular man with a square face and crew cut stepped out of the backseat of the first Audi.

After smoothing out his suit and adjusting his tie and identification tag, the man and his team of five hundred subordinates started striding toward the entrance of Indigo Palace.

Colin was shocked once again when he saw the man, who was none other than the leader of the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit, Braydon Goodall.

Braydon was specially in charge of corruption investigations and held significant authority among government officials.

Colin had not expected Braydon to be personally leading his team there.

After snapping out of his shock, Colin quickly stepped forward with the Elite Eight and Felidae Battalion, stopping Braydon and his team from proceeding any further.

"Excuse me. Is there anything I can help you with here? It's Mr. Windsor's birthday today. If there's anything important, could you do us a favor and wait until after the banquet ends before dealing with it?"

Braydon looked at Colin coldly and replied flatly, “I'm sorry. You should know what my job is. I'm here for official purposes, and I don't intend to do anyone any favors. Step aside now. We have to go in there and arrest someone!"

Colin's expression darkened when he heard that. “It's Mr. Windsor's birthday today. If you have to arrest someone, please wait until after the banquet. Please do not ruin the joyous occasion," he repeated.

Braydon merely answered coldly,

"I'm sorry. No one has any special

authority in my line of work, and I do

е

not have to follow anyone's rules. I'm here to make an arrest, and there's no reason why I would have to wait until the banquet ends to do So You'd better get out of my way now."

Colin flared up when he heard that and bellowed, "I'm just trying to be nice here, and you seem to be taking advantage of that. Since you chose to push your Nuck, I don't have to be polite to you anymore. Listen carefully. It's Mr. Windsor's birthday today and no one is allowed

'to

el

create trouble here. All of you should leave this place right now. You can arrest anyone you want after the banquet, and it would be none of my business." "The orders given to me were to make the arrest immediately. Since you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for being rude!" Braydon replied in a frosty voice.

Noticing that a fight was about to ensue between Colin and Braydon, one of the Elite Eight members walked away secretly and quickly headed into the banquet hall to report the situation to Nathan.
