The Greatest Man Alive
Chapter 402 Cornell Lach âWho is it? Jade?â
Nathan looked at Barry, feeling very confused.
Barry shook his head and said, âItâs not General Perkins. She doesnât have time to come here and wander around.â
Nathan said, âJust tell me who it is.â
âCornell Lach.â Barry coughed and said.
Nathan frowned. Of course, he was familiar with this name.
Cornell was a relative of the Evans family and didnât get along well with Nathan. When Nathan and his father were kicked out of Imperia City, the Lach family was delighted.
The Evans family was big, and it was inevitable that some people would have other thoughts. Therefore, Nathan and Nicolas had to play tricks to deceive everyone.
Cornell was also fooled and definitely not on the same side as Nathan and Nicolas.
However, Cornell was very capable. Since joining the army, he had shown extraordinary talent. And with the background of the Evans family, his career was very successful.
And now, Cornell was already a Colonel.
Nathan and Barry quickly arrived at the training ground of Sharp Knife Company and saw Cornell standing upright in the field.
After Cornell saw Nathan, his face turned cold immediately.
Nathan wasnât friendly to him either. Cornell spoke ill of Nicolas and was also responsible for their exile.
The soldiers all looked at Cornell coldly. Cornell had just come to the training ground and taught them a lesson.
âAre you sure youâre the best of the 81st Division? Thatâs it?â Cornell deliberately raised his voice and sneered after Nathan arrived.
The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company were all blushing, slightly annoyed, but they were embarrassed to refute.
Before Nathan arrived, Cornell competed with them. And in the end, they were all defeated, and they were no match for him at all.
In the army, strength was everything. Since Cornell could beat them up, they certainly didnât have the right to be angry.
Cornell sneered. âIt seems that your instructor is a piece of trash. Youâre not bad, but you fought poorly. What a waste!â
âSalute!â
When the company commander saw Barry and Nathan coming over, he shouted immediately.
All the soldiers saluted the two of them.
Nathan waved his hands and said, âAt ease. Whatâs going on?â
The commander blushed and said, âSir, this is Colonel from the War Department. Heâs in charge of testing the training result of each unit.â
âWe performed too badly. Colonel Lach taught us a lesson.â
âOur performance humiliated the 81st Division!â
Barry felt a bit uneasy. Although Cornell was here for Nathan, he used the Sharp Knife Company as an excuse and even made the entire 81st Division ashamed. Barry was certainly unhappy.
Cornell looked at Nathan and said, âAre you their instructor? How dare you waste their talent?â
The subordinates brought by Cornell also laughed.
They didnât know why this young man had become a brigadier general, but apparently, he didnât seem powerful at all. He probably joined the army in some other way.
Nathan looked at Cornell indifferently. âLach, I didnât expect you to come to Mimar City. How impressive.â
Cornell said lightly, âAn exile like you should stay in that deserted prison like a rat. You shouldnât come here to fool the others. Even if you became a brigadier by flattering, youâre still just a joke.â
Cornell was annoyed. He had joined the military for many years and was still a colonel.
However, as soon as Nathan joined the army, he was awarded the rank of brigadier by the War Department!
âHuh. As an exile, I can become a brigadier by flattering. But you canât even have this chance. Youâre worse than an exile.â Nathan looked at Cornell and smiled faintly.
Cornellâs eyes turned cold.
Nathan said, âDonât you know how to salute when you see your superior?â
Cornell was full of disdain. âYour rank is indeed a little higher than mine. But do you think youâre worthy of my respect?â
âI could kick you and your father out of Emperia City, and I can also kick you out of the army if I want to.â
âWhy do you think I should salute such a loser like you?â
The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company couldnât help being angry. They knew Nathanâs ability, but at this moment, they still felt upset when someone humiliated their respected instructor.
However, it was useless to be upset. Cornell was a colonel and held an important position, so they couldnât afford to offend him.
Plus, they were indeed crushed by him just now, so they didnât dare to challenge him at all.
Facing Cornellâs humiliation, Nathan looked very calm, as if he didnât take Cornell seriously.
He faced Cornell like facing a barking dog.
âMr. Martin, as the ace unit under the War Department, the 81st Division should be better than this!â
âEspecially the Sharp Knife Company.â
âI tested many soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company, and all of them were trash. So there must be something wrong with the instructor you chose.â
âAfter today, I will report the situation, submit an application, and change an instructor for you.â
Cornell said with a cold face. His purpose in coming here was to kick Nathan out and find a way to get him fired.
After all, he was only a senior colonel. How could an exile like Nathan have a higher rank than him?
Being the instructor of the Sharp Knife Company of the 81st Division was Nathanâs first job. If he couldnât do it well, Thunder might be unable to save him.
Nathan felt ridiculous. âWhy?â
Cornell said indifferently, âI donât like you. Thatâs all.â
Nathan was stunned. This was indeed a good reason.
He would punch or slap someone if he didnât like that person.
Cornellâs words sounded exactly like when he bullied his classmates in school.
âHowever, if you are willing to kneel and apologize to Hugh for your rudeness and swear allegiance to me, I might consider letting you go.â
Cornell said arrogantly. âRemember, you are no longer a member of the Evans family.
It was your honor when someone from the Evans family came to find you and asked you to compromise!â
âIf you remain stubborn, then you will suffer.â
Nathan finally understood. Cornell came here because of the business war between the Giradia Group and the Porter Group alliance.
Could it be that the Lach family had also invested several million in Natasha?
