Randy sneered, "You really think of yourself as the General, don't you? Who are you trying to kid?”
Nathan instructed Colin, "Call Patrick. He's in charge of Bossania City's military district. Tell him to come and meet me in ten minutes."
After that, Nathan turned to Randy. "I am only giving you ten minutes. If you do not admit that you are a liar and voluntarily turn yourself in to the police within these ten minutes, I will hand you over to the military and you will be punished severely."
Randy grinned and asked, "Are you trying to intimidate me? I'd like to see how you are going to summon the military."
He was adamant and did not believe that Nathan was a general.
Moreover, as far as he knew, it was quite a distance from the Hilton to the military base of Bossania. No one would be able to reach them in ten minutes even if they were to speed.
Hence, Nathan's request for Patrick of Bossania City's military district to arrive in ten minutes was definitely impossible. It seemed to Randy that Nathan was just being ridiculous.
Time was almost up.
Randy glanced at his watch and sneered, "It's been nine minutes, and I don't see a single shadow from the troops..."
Before he could finish, a loud rumbling sound could be heard from the sky right outside of the hotel.
To the shock of everyone, more than a dozen helicopters appeared in the sky like nighthawks hovering over the area.
A rope was thrown out of the first military aircraft. A burly man dressed in colonel uniform then rappelled down the helicopter and landed firmly on the ground.
He was Patrick Henderson, the man in charge of Bossania's military district.
Behind him, men in black combat suits with military headgear and submachine guns rappelled down the helicopters one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred members of the special forces had assembled on the ground.
Patrick led the group and walked coolly into the hotel, stopping in front of Nathan.
Patrick roared, "Attention! Salute!"
Everyone in uniform came to stiff attention and gave crisp a salute to Nathan.
"General!"
General!
Everyone else around stirred in astonishment and anticipation.
