Chapter 18

"Oh, he is Corporal George, I'm sure you have heard of him." Major Ivan said.

"Of course I have." The General said as he looked at George from the sole of his shoes to the top of his head, "Oh my Lord... This kid is talentless..." He said before shaking his head and sitting down.

George smiled awkwardly, feeling disrespected and the General could see it. "And I don't mean it in a bad way. The fact you have killed a powerful monster and become a corporal is amazing. It must mean you have worked hard and gone through a lot. I know a kid who was just like you and I trained him myself, he was talentless, but I pushed him to his limits and eventually he became my best soldier, and on the face of this planet he was an unstoppable machine." He continued as he looked into George's eyes. "In fact, you look a bit like him."He added.

"Thank you, sir," George replied while bowing his head slightly.

"Anyways," He said before turning to the Major, "Clear me up on some things will you?" He asked.

The Major talked about what happened but left out the part where George revealed his power.

"So they got to Florida too... I'm not surprised, the Colonel is a corrupted scumbag. He would do anything for money. And he will give all the excuses on why he needs the money, he even claims to be innocent!" The General shouted, "The worst part is that he believes that. What a monkey..." He continued.

Upon hearing this Ivan nodded, "He... I... Uhm. I don't know what to say. But you were right, I should have left that base. I should have known better than to trust someone who would betray his men in Iraq." The Major murmured while lowering his head.

"Stop getting emotional, because I sure won't. Now excuse me because I will have to-" Before the words that the Major was about to mutter could even leave his mouth, he could hear a helicopter descending near the reinforced tent he was in. "What the hell... I never approved of any heli's coming in at this time..." He continued as he walked out of the tent.

George and the Major followed, and as they exited they could see Colonel Howard and his men getting off the helicopter, "Colonel Howard! I never approved of your visit."

The Colonel saluted the General, "Sir, I was never told that I needed to inform you." He said as he lowered his hands.

"Why are you here?" The General asked impatiently as he gave a sharp look at the Colonel.

"I am here to take two criminals with me. And I can see that the two of them are behind you. I will be taking them back to the base and giving them appropriate punishment." The Colonel spoke as he and his men behind him began walking towards George and Major Ivan.

Thud! The General blocked the Colonel from walking towards them with his palm hitting the Colonel's chest, as he did that, the soldiers that were under the General's command pointed their guns at the Colonel. "I don't remember allowing you to take them away." The General said.

The Colonel's eyes widened as he stared at the General, "General, with all due respect, this order didn't come from me, it came from the GA. The 5-star General of the Army. His command is higher than yours, sir." He stated while a smug slowly appeared on his face.

But the expression on the General's face remains unchanged, "So what?" He asked.

"What?" The Colonel asked as he was confused about the reaction of the General.

"I said, so what, you deaf moron!" The General shouted directly at the Colonel's ears.

The Colonel was shaken slightly but he kept his composure, "The GA won't like this." He muttered silently.

"And what is he going to do about that? Tell your homeboy GA, that if he keeps messing with me, I will rip his testicle off his crotch and feed it to him." The General said before pushing the Colonel away. "And by the way, Corporal George, and Major Ivan will be under my command from now onwards. And that mission in New York? I will be taking that as well." He continued before turning around and started walking towards the tent.

"Don't forget to attend Brad Roth's military convention!" The Colonel shouted at the General before jumping on the helicopter and flying away.

"I know you guys have been through a lot lately, but, I will have to make use of both of you now that both of you are under my command." The General said as he took out some documents that were under his desk.

The General then handed George a file, "I want you to investigate Brad Roth." He said before taking a remote and turning on the television and playing a videotape that showed the face of Brad Roth.

"I'm sure you know Brad Roth. Genius, billionaire, philanthropist, and an all-round weirdo." He said while pointing at the image of the black-haired and paper-white skin Brad Roth. "And he is also releasing the Neuralink to the public in three days. The device that he claims can d******d and upload information into your brain if you install the device into your brain." He continued as he looked at George, "I want you to spy on him, steal some information in his company and make sure everything is going well. If you find anything suspicious, come back. And the Major will be following me to New York to get rid of those monster rodents there once and for all." He added.

George shook his head, "But, General. I was only trained for fighting against monsters, I have no experience in this kind of mission." He protested.

"According to what your Major said, it seems that you aren't half bad. And I am low on spies that I can use. So you will have to go." General Jordan replied.

George sighed and nodded, "Understood, sir..."
