The army seemed oppressive, and no one dared to go against orders.
The onlookers edged close to the window instead and peeked outside.
They were dumbstruck at the sight.
“My goodness! Am I imagining things? This is such a rare sight!”
“The whole street has been shut off by the army. The troops are endless, and they stretch all the way back... There have to be at least thousands of soldiers here.”
“Look, there are helicopters hovering in mid-air. They are blocking both the roads and air passage.”
“Which bigshot is out rounding the streets today who calls for the army to be mobilized?”
“Look at the car in the middle of the road. The bigshot is sitting in the car with a red flag.”
“He must be at least a colonel to be able to travel in a car like this.”
“Which colonel is coming to Oakheart City on a mission? Our city is going to be famous!”
Nobody could relate that it was Zeke Williams who had invited General North here.
Because a joke is merely a joke. How could a security guard invite a bigshot like the General North?
The car came to a stop at the entrance of the cocktail party under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze.
A colonel then announced, “General North has arrived.”
The army then announced in unison as well, “General North has arrived!”
General North!
It’s really General North!
The public was stupefied by the announcement.
Protector of the kingdom, Eurasia’s ambassador of peace is in this part of town!
They suddenly came to a realization and cast glances at Mance Raider.
“Mance, did you invite the general here...?”
Mance Raider had his mouth in his heart at that moment.
He did send an invitation to General North previously, but he never received a reply from General North.
Is General North giving me a surprise?
The idea seemed quite probable to Mance.
Even though he was excited at the sight of General North, he remained calm and humble in front of others.
“General North must have finished his mission so he can come straight to the cocktail party.”
The others were astonished at Mance’s reply.
Having a meal with General North was a great honor.
Mance Raider is indeed the chosen one.
Nancy was so excited that she was brimming with tears.
My hero is so great that he could invite General North here personally!
I would only be beneath one man while I stand above millions of others.
Nancy hurriedly reminded him, “Mance, you have to go and welcome General North...”
The others snapped out of their thoughts, and they all rushed ahead to welcome General North.
Zeke did not follow the crowd. “I would advise that you guys stay as far away from him as possible, or else you’re going to suffer the repercussions.”
Nancy angrily glared at Zeke. “What do you mean?”
“Because I called General North here. He’s not here to greet you guys. You guys are not in the position to welcome him,” Zeke replied.
Mance Raider chuckled at Zeke’s words, and the others burst into a laugh.
This guy is still keeping up with his lies when the truth is about to slap him across the face!
How could he be so delusional?
Mance Raider did not take heed and went straight to the entrance to greet General North.
However, a soldier stopped his tracks, “Stop right here. Do not get any nearer.”
Mance hurriedly explained, “I invited General North here. Please let me greet him.”
“You guys will suffer consequences if the general is displeased!”
The soldier snorted, “Who do you think you are? How could you be able to invite General North here? Are you trying to humiliate General North?”
Mance burned with fury at the solder’s derision and bellowed, “Forget it! I don’t want to stoop so low to argue with you.”
“You shall receive your termination letter when I welcome General North in here!”
