Mance Raider tried to barge his way out, but the soldier did not show mercy and kicked Mance onto the floor.
The other soldiers then pointed their guns at him. The guns were fully loaded, totally dominating Mance Raider.
“This is the first warning,” the soldier alerted Mance Raider.
“We would like to stress that we will shoot on sight at those uncooperative ones.”
Mance Raider’s legs turned to jelly at the sight of the tens of guns pointing at him; he did not dare utter another
word.
He boiled with rage. Let’s just wait and see. I will get these imbeciles fired as soon as General North comes in.
“Look, General North is getting off the car!” A person shouted while the others glanced at the car with a red flag.
A towering figure could be seen getting off the car.
The man donned a huge outercoat, the stars denoting his superior rank shone brightly on his shoulders.
He was wearing an army cap, paired with sunglasses and a face mask specifically made for the army. This made it
difficult for others to discern his features.
However, his domineering vibe was unmatched. He was truly the leader!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGeneral North did not even cast a glance at the cocktail party venue. Instead, he turned around and entered Elmina
Wholesale Market, which was situated right opposite the cocktail party.
Huh?
What’s happening now?
Why didn’t General North come inside, and went to the wholesale market instead?
Is he thinking that it would be awkward to show up without bringing a gift, so he’s going to the market to buy
something?
General North showed up again after some time with a few bags in hand.
After that, he went back inside his car and left.
He did not cast a glance at the people at the cocktail party. It was as if they did not exist.
The others were quite disappointed with the turn of events; it seemed like they were way ahead of themselves.
The soldier guarding the entrance of the hall snorted at Mance, “I’ll let you off this time. However, don’t expect me
to go easy on you next time. Let’s head back!”
General North came and left in a rush.
Some people were left stunned on the ground while one person in particular just felt... extremely embarrassed.
At the very least, Mance Raider was feeling flustered.
They were about to barge out of the entrance to greet General North, but as it turned out he was not there for the
cocktail party at all. This was the perfect example of someone being given the cold shoulder.
Mance Raider could not help but feel he was left with egg on his face.
He could only grumble to himself. You’re the great General North. Do you really have to buy supplies personally?
Even if you are buying supplies, why must you come to this small town?
Now I am so ridiculed.
Zeke mocked, “That’s what you get for not taking an old man’s words to heart. I’ve told you not to approach him,
but you refused to listen to me. I had goosebumps all over when you insisted on barging out there just now.”
The others then cast a curious glance at Zeke Williams. They all had the same question in mind.
In the end, Lacey Hinton spoke out for the rest, “Zeke, did you really call General North here?”
They were now all ears to listen to Zeke’s answer.
Zeke smiled thinly. “You could choose whether or not to believe in me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe ambiguous answer made the others even more anxious.
Is he for real? If it were true, then we’d better start sucking up to him.
If it were just all poppycock, then it’d quite embarrassing to flatter a freeloader security guard.
Lacey Hinton was infuriated.
This fella is trying to hold people in suspense again. I really have to stop paying attention to him.
Mance spoke in the end, “Hah! Are you guys going to believe what this useless freeloader says?”
“If he really did call General North here, why didn’t the general come in and say hi to him?”
“I don’t know if you guys noticed it, but when General North came here, this guy was so scared that he did not even
utter a single word. What’s more, he did not even go near the window or the door.”
The others contemplated Mance’s words and nodded in agreement.
Mance has a point.
“I think getting supplies is part of General North’s emergency mission as well,” Mance added in an attempt to
defuse the awkward situation he was in.
“Why would he come to a cocktail party when he’s not even done with his emergency mission?”
The crowd nodded. “Mance, you’re right.”
