Two thousand Dragonfury elites surrounded Neelan and his men.
Mark Lee, who was dressed in a Lieutenant Colonel military uniform, headed towards them with his troop of soldiers.
Mark and his fellow soldiers saluted Nathan in unison.
Nathan returned the salute as he smiled and said, "Deputy Commander Lee, you came just at the right time. This guy here claims that he is the Major General. Can you tell us if he is speaking the truth?"
Neelan was already trembling with fear when he saw that he was being surrounded by so many soldiers.
But what shocked him most was seeing how Mark saluted Nathan.
They might be dumb, but not dumb enough to not realize that Nathan had ties with the North Army. Moreover, seeing how these soldiers paid Nathan the utmost respect, he must be some high ranking officer in the army.
They've been exposed!
Mark nodded, turned to Neelan and his men and said coldly, "Which department are you guys from? Show me your military ID."
Neelan sweated profusely as he stuttered, "l-l don't have it with me."
Mark replied coldly, "Is it that you don't have it with you, or you don't have it at all?"
Neelan could only steel himself as he bellowed, "What are you talking about? I'm going to skin you alive. Who is your superior?"
Mark snorted, "Skin me alive? You won't even be able to rip these clothes off of me even if you really are the Major General. I am the Deputy Commander of the Dragonfury Special Forces, Mark Lee and I report directly to the General of the North. Do you want to make a call to the General himself?"
What?
The man before them was directly under the command of the General of the North!
Neelan's face changed as he stammered, "l-l won't take things to heart. You better let us leave now or else I will raise this to your superior. Just wait and see.”
