Alexander Forst was nothing more than a useless scum, so Nathan Cross’ aura chilled him to the bone.
He burst into tears immediately and started babbling, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have gotten into gambling, and I shouldn’t have taken Aaron’s death gratuity to pay off my debts or force my parents into selling their house...”
“And?” Nathan Cross growled.
Alexander Forst gave him a confused look, not knowing what he meant by that.
Nathan Cross smacked another couple of teeth out of Alexander Forst’s mouth. “Who were you cursing just now?”
“Ah yes, after Dad and Mom pass away, I’ll send them off to heaven...”
Nathan Cross kicked him aside without warning. “You’re not fit to be uncle and aunt’s son.”
“Aaron is like a brother to me, so his parents are my parents too.”
“From now on, I’ll be the one to pamper them and the one to see them off at their deathbeds. Now scram!”
Alexander Forst had no choice but to stumble out of the house with his hand covering his injured chest.
However, the moment he got out of earshot, he turned around and spat, “Do you wrinkly idiots really think that this man is here to play a filial son?”
“He’s just after your money and this house since he’s heard about the eviction notice. Just wait and see!”
He ran out of sight after that.
Eddy Forst’s eyes were trained on Nathan Cross, as though he wanted some kind of confirmation.
Nathan Cross couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Uncle, I’m not a con man.”
Eddy Forst suddenly got jittery with excitement. “You’re the General! The General of the North! You’re Aaron’s chief! He showed me a picture of you last time and told me that you’re his greatest hero!”
Nathan Cross had not expected Eddy Forst to point out his true identity.
He shook his head and whispered, “I’m no hero. We share the glory of our victories with everyone including those who fell during battle.”
“I’m being serious. Mom and Dad, Aaron may be gone, but I’ll be your son forever!”
The Forsts burst into tears, and they took one of Nathan Cross’ hands each . “Good, we have a son again! And you are the Chosen One too!”
...
Meanwhile...
Jackson Quelch arrived at the Alberesque City Airport right after the sun dipped below the horizon, with three hundred of his men trailing behind him.
A huge group of military transport aircrafts zoomed across the sky when they arrived, startling the people at the scene.
Alberesque was the state capital, and the airport there had been used for both commercial and military flights, so seeing a few military aircrafts every now and then was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, it was rare to see two dozen of them appearing simultaneously.
Jackson Quelch looked on as the aircrafts landed one after another. Their doors opened and hordes of elite soldiers exited the aircraft in an orderly fashion.
He couldn’t help but mutter, “Man, that’s a lot of people. They’re probably from the Dragonfury Special Forces of the North. Looks like some prominent figure from the Northern troops is paying Alberesque a visit!”
He had barely finished his monologue when a well-built officer appeared in front of him.
To his surprise, the officer turned his gaze to meet his own all of a sudden, filling the air around him with his intimidating aura.
That person was no other than Colin Dunne, the Captain of the National Guards serving under Nathan Cross.
