Cassandra, Robinson, and the others inhaled sharply.
It was not because they were frightened, but they were shocked that Nathan was so brazen with his bragging.
Cassandra sneered at Nathan.
Wendy felt weak. Naturally, she knew that Christopher Windsor was a Lieutenant General, the highest-ranking officer in Mayberry.
It's bad enough that a lieutenant colonel like Nathan went against a senior colonel like Robinson. Now, he even boasted about Lieutenant General Windsor! This is bad!
Wendy took a step forward and apologized, "I'm so sorry, my nephew was just joking..."
Cassandra scorned, "So you're making a joke out of the military? It's one thing to brag, but if you bring Lieutenant General Windsor into the picture, you must be tired of living."
Robinson waved impatiently, "Men, round him up and lock him up!"
Obeying commands was one of the most basic rules in the military. When the soldiers heard that, they had no choice but to act upon orders.
Wendy and the others panicked.
Meanwhile, Nathan remained calm and smirked.
Colin blocked their way as soon as the soldiers approached Nathan.
Colin yelled, "Who dares to touch this man? Do you know who he is?"
The soldiers were stunned. They looked at Nathan, then at Robinson.
Robinson scoffed, "Whoever he is, we'll lock him up for a couple of days before deciding how to deal with him."
The soldiers then proceeded to arrest him.
