Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1505

The Japanese couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard that Nathan really wanted to spar with Watanabe.

They all thought that Nathan must be asking for death to duel with their Sword God.

Watanabe was still clad in his signature samurai attire. Coupled with his grey hair and beard, the Sword God looked very much like a high-ranked martial arts master with his katana by his side.

The God of Kendo eyed Nathan with a smirk. "Since you are going to spar with me, you can borrow a katana from one of our guards."

Nathan scanned the imperial guards and shook his head. "I don't like your katanas.”

Watanabe frowned. "Then with what weapon are you going to use to fight against me?"

Nathan turned around to look at the artefacts. His gaze landed on an extremely exquisite dagger that was embedded with jewels.

"I shall use this ancient dagger then," Nathan uttered with a smile.

Everyone else was stunned by his choice.

Emperor Chongmei couldn't help but assert, "Mr. Cross, this dagger is the imperial dagger used by one of your ancient kings, which is why it's designed for decorative purposes only and not for combat."

"In other words, its design only considered its lavishness and not its practicality. Are you sure you want to use it to duel with Master Watanabe?"

Nathan answered, "This dagger is more than enough for me to duel against your Sword God."

A fire of rage burned in Master Watanabe over Nathan's arrogant statement.

"There's no blade in this world that can beat our katanas, and your nation's dagger isn't worth a match to our katanas at all, especially one that is only used for decoration. Even your famous King Of All Blades went blunt after coming in contact with our glass. You must be asking for death choosing such a useless ancient dagger to duel with me."

However, Emperor Chongmei was more than happy to see Nathan being so reckless, hence he ordered his subordinates to hand Nathan the ancient dagger.

He then said with cunning smile, "Since Mr. Cross insists on using your nation's weapon, then I shall look forward to your battle with Master Watanabe.”

With a disdainful smile, Watanabe strode to the middle of the banquet hall.

On the other hand, Nathan too strode up to him and stood facing Watanabe less than three meters away.
