Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2864

With that, Bryon led Nathan to the VIP area of the arena, which was already packed with spectators.

The place was probably filled to the brim because many knew in advance that their president would take Nathan there so the man could enjoy the show.

Except for a few reserved seats in the VIP area, all ten thousand seats in the arena had been taken up.

When the crowd saw Bryon and the others, they immediately stood up and chanted Bryon's name.

It was obvious that the Ariaricans loved Bryon.

After smiling and waving at the crowd, Bryon invited Nathan and the others to take a seat in the VIP area.

Only after that did the crowd sit back down.

Seated just beside Nathan, Bryon leaned in to whisper into the man's ear. “The fight is about to start, and it just so happens to be the match between Ariarica and Eurasia. Let's see which of us is better.”

Instead of responding to that, Nathan simply smiled.

At that moment, a beautiful hostess with golden hair and blue eyes entered the ring with a microphone in hand.

“Next up, we have Rock the Molten Giant of Ariarica versus Oreste the Northeast Tiger of the Eurasian special forces!” announced the hostess in Ariarican before repeating herself in fluent Eurasian.

“Let's put our hands together and welcome Rock the Molten Giant!”

Immediately, rock music began to play as a huge dark-skinned man with a height of two-point-two meters and a shoulder width of more than one-point-five meters appeared.

Bulging with muscles, the man was so big and strong that he looked like a walking mountain.

Surrounding him were eight police officers tasked with escorting him into the ring.

The officers' job was not to protect Rock from the crowd. On the contrary, it was to ensure the audience's safety should Rock go on a rampage.

As though they had witnessed a magnificent beast let out of its cage, the spectators roared in excitement.

Bryon smiled at Nathan once again as he introduced the Ariarican fighter to the man. “This is a famous fighter in Ariarica. His name is Rock, but people call him the Molten Giant. Having bested countless fighters, he's one of the rare powerhouses among the common folks.”

Nathan nodded in response, for he could tell that Rock was exceptionally strong.

Besides that, the man did not have the look or the stance of an expert.

It was almost as if it was his first time in the ring.

Nathan became suspicious of the supposed Eurasian fighter's true identity but did not jump to conclusions. “We'll see,” replied Nathan calmly.

Bryon had thought Nathan would unconditionally support the Eurasian fighter while he supported the Ariarican one. Then, he would be able to goad Nathan into betting with him and, in turn, get revenge for what happened to him at Pegasus Club.

However, Nathan did not react the way Bryon expected him to.

Having decided that he was in no hurry, Bryon smiled as he responded, “Okay. Let's watch the fight first.”

Nathan then turned to give Colin a look.

Colin had served Nathan for many years, so he knew exactly what the man had in mind. President Cross must be suspicious of Oreste's identity and wants me to investigate.

In response, Colin nodded to show that he understood.
