Yohannes finished his announcement and looked at Jamien and the rest. He then noticed the presence of a few coach buses parked along the street and the Porsche. He furrowed his brows and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Jamien quickly answered, "I am inspecting the vehicles over here!"
Yohannes said with a hint of ire in his voice, "Are there any problems with those cars? If there any issues, bring them back to the headquarters to settle the issues. If not, just let them go already."
Jamien took the opportunity and said, "Lieutenant Dixon, there are some problems with the coach."
The driver of the coach anxiously pleaded innocent, "Kind sir, please don't listen to his nonsense. There's definitely nothing wrong with our coach. We have all our documents in this folder. There's nothing missing here, so what issues do we have?"
Jamien snorted with derision and pointed a finger at Nathan. He said with an edge in his tone, "This person is obstructing us from carrying out our official duty and challenging the State's laws. Lieutenant Dixon, it is fortunate that you brought along your armed unit. They could be of use in arresting the young brat over here and bringing him back to the headquarters for interrogation.”
Yohannes had just received his orders not long ago before he rushed over to receive the General.
He had no idea how the vehicle that carried the General looked like, and had only taken a quick glance at the General's photo ID and tried his best to burn his image into his mind.
His eyes looked toward the direction of Jamien and landed on Nathan.
The familiar face suddenly registered in his mind. He had a moment of realization that numbed him.
His face was full of horror.
That tall man was none other than the
General himself!
Yohannes' mouth gaped wide. He was preparing himself to yell a greeting at the General.
However, Nathan had already guessed his intentions.
Before he could yell anything, Nathan made the first move. "You are Lieutenant Dixon, am I correct? So you're in charge of the traffic police in this area, yes? Your arrival is timely. I believe Chief Lee here was trying to make things difficult for us ordinary travelers from other lands. How would you take care of this issue?"
