MacArthur's outrageously arrogant words rang out with force, echoing over the Cemetery.
Arrogant!
Conceited!
"Motherfucker!"
Jin Dapao exploded first. Spittle flew as he pointed straight at MacArthur's nose and cursed, "You shameless old bastard! Heroes of the world? Who the hell are you to compare yourself to General Tiger Braves?"
"Exactly! If you can't beat them, join them-and if you can't beat them, flatter them, right? Does putting yourself alongside the enemy who defeated you make you look like a badass? Pah!"
Li Hu, commander of the Iron Fist Division, joined in the furious rebukes.
"You were beaten so badly you fled with your tail between your legs, even leaving your command saber behind, and now you're bragging? Are Eagle Country people's faces made of bulletproof steel?"
The Dragon Kingdom generals seethed with righteous indignation.
This old bastard was a hundred times more loathsome than Smith had been!
"Insolence!"
Smith scrambled up from the ground and hid behind MacArthur. Hearing the Dragon Kingdom generals' curses, he found his courage again and shrieked, borrowing MacArthur's authority, "What do you savages know?"
"For General MacArthur to consider him a rival was the greatest honor of that 'Tiger Braves' fellow's life!"
"This was the general acknowledging him!"
This brazen distortion of the truth nearly made everyone from the Dragon Kingdom burst with rage.
"Heh!"
Yet on the High Platform, Xu Anbang merely gave a soft chuckle.
"Acknowledging him? I'd say you're just trying to glorify yourself."
"MacArthur, do you really think that just because so much time has passed, no one remembers the details?"
MacArthur's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
Elder Xu gave him no chance to respond and continued, "You boast about standing alongside Tiger Braves, but do you dare tell everyone how his troops nearly killed you at Chosin Reservoir in Goryeo?"
