Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1406

By now, the subordinates of the Leeroy family realized that they had been surrounded.

Lucifer's death meant they had also lost their commander. Hence, they chose to put down their weapons and surrender.

Destroyer's troops soon arrested every one of them.

In the meantime, Destroyer brought along some of his men to salute Nathan. He greeted his superior enthusiastically, "General, welcome back to the North!"

Nathan responded, "My holiday hasn't ended yet. I returned to the North this time because the President instructed me to investigate Wyatt Windsor's death.

Therefore, Heptakill, Fang, and you are still in charge of protecting this region."

Destroyer grinned, "We will not let you down, Sir."

After that, he asked Nathan politely, "General, since Lucifer Leeroy is dead, what should we do with his men who we've arrested?”

Nathan knew the President would certainly not let Lucifer live because he killed Wyatt Windsor.

By killing Lucifer, Nathan had successfully completed the President's mission for him. It also meant that Lucifer had been spared the torture that he would be subjected to if he were arrested alive.

Therefore, to die in a battle was considered a satisfactory ending for Lucifer.

Nathan instructed his subordinates, "Detain them for the time being! After that, Destroyer, Colin, and Patrick will come with me to meet Sky. I want to get the names of the people behind Wyatt Windsor's murder, so I can arrest everyone involved in the evil plot."

Destroyer and the rest replied in unison, "Yes, General!"

Soon, Nathan summoned Sky to meet him.

Since Lucifer was dead, Sky was all the more determined to given Nathan a detailed list of names and every secret he knew.

Nathan was actually shocked by the information Sky revealed.

Initially, Nathan thought that it was just a factional struggle within the North Army. After listening to Sky, he realized that the situation was actually far more complicated than he had imagined.

The masterminds behind Lucifer Leeroy either lived in Brimmopolis or enjoyed immense power in the army.

One of them was Boris Tucker, a member of the Great Cabinet and the most popular presidential candidate.

Given that the Great Cabinet Members were involved, this issue was not something that Nathan alone could handle.

After thinking for a while, Nathan instructed his men, "Keep all name lists and secrets strictly confidential; do not reveal anything to anyone. I'll report my findings to the President for him to decide the next action."

Nathan was stunned by Hansel's question. Why would the President say that? Did I do something wrong? Does he intend to strip me of the title of the General of the North?

Nathan replied with a hint of concern in his voice, "I have two more months!"

Given that Nathan had taken several years' worth of leave at one go, he still had two months left.

Hansel replied, "I see. Well, you've sacrificed a lot all these years. Do spend more time with your family since you're on holiday. I'd suggest you visit Mayberry in the East for their nice scenery. I wish you a fruitful journey."

Nathan frowned a little upon hearing the president's words of advice.

I'm sure that the President is asking me to visit Mayberry for a reason. And the fact that he just wished me a fruitful journey is intriguing. What is he hinting at?

After a while, a thought suddenly flashed through Nathan's mind. If I'm not mistaken, Boris Tucker lives in Mayberry and is the leader of its faction.

Now, Nathan realized that the President wanted him to investigate it secretly even though he had just told him to put the matter to rest.

Without hesitation, Nathan replied calmly, "Understood. I'll visit Mayberry as you suggest, Sir.”
