At this moment, Tyler too hurriedly came over to greet Nathan. "General, it really is you! I've just met you recently during the birthday celebrations of the First Lady, and now we meet again. I'm truly honored!"
Tyler's words were the last straw for Todd, who immediately sank into despair.
Since Governor Hall and Major General Gore had both recognized Nathan as the General, surely it was the truth.
Nathan greeted Tyler and Chris, then smiled and said, "Thankfully you're both here in time to attest to my identity, otherwise, I'll probably be arrested for deception."
Hearing that, Tyler and Chris felt rather awkward.
Todd, Robbie, Russell and the others were red with embarrassment.
They had treated Nathan as a fraud, threatened to beat him up and even tried to lowball him when they asked to buy out his company!
Oh God!
Thinking about their foolish actions for the past few days, the entire family wished they could dig a hole and hide in it forever.
They had thought that Nathan was a crazy guy who was just trying to pass himself off as the General of the North.
Only now did they realize that Nathan was indeed the General and they were the foolish ones!
The Old Master's face reddened like a tomato as he looked at Nathan. Regret, humiliation and awe flashed past his face in sequence as he thought about how to apologize to the General.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door and the voice of the boy at the door rang out, "The patriarch of the nation's top noble family, Max Artoria, and the patriarch of the nation's second noble family, Pirk Lance, have arrived!”
Max and Pirk were invited by the Zieglers as well.
On the surface, they were here to attend a birthday celebration.
But in reality, both knew that the real purpose of their presence was to witness Nathan's punishment.
The Zieglers were terribly embarrassed.
Now that Nathan was the real General, they were unable to punish him and even had to apologize to him.
