Alan was stunned and exclaimed, “Captain Hall, why are you here?”
The middle-aged man who led the troop of special forces was Aiden Hall. He was a Captain in the South Army National Guard and reported to Zach Hill, the Commander-in-chief of the South Army.
Aiden replied coldly, “I followed Admiral Hill here.”
Admiral Hi\l?Zach Hill!
He was not only the Commander-in-chief of the South Army, but also Alan's immediate superior!
Alan was shocked to learn that Zach had come. “Captain Hall, where is Admiral Hill?”
“I'm here!” An orotund voice suddenly came from behind.
Shortly, a tall man strode in with great dignity. He was wearing the Admiral's uniform and leading a group of subordinates.
That was Zach Hill, the Commander-in-chief of the South Army.
The sudden appearance of Admiral Hill startled Gillian and the others.
Alan trotted hurriedly toward him and asked with a flattering smile, “Admiral Hill, why are you here?”
Zach was tall and burly, with a dignified appearance. He looked calm, yet authoritative.
The Admiral glanced at Nathan and replied impassively, “I heard someone bullied my brother. Hence, I came to see who has the guts to hurt him on my territory.”
Brother? Is it me?
Alan felt honoured and pleased.
He was a member of the Goldstein family and the deputy minister of the South Army's Security Department.
Though he came from an upper-class family and held a high-ranking position, he considered himself ranked lower than Zach and dared not call himself a “brother” of the commander-in-chief.
Much to his surprise, Admiral Hill addressed him as “brother.”
He flushed with excitement, as it was such a great honor to be recognized as a “brother” by
Admiral Hill.
It is probable that Admiral Hill is suddenly the Goldstein family and me politely because he knows my ex-brother-in-law, Clifford, will be the next President.
