Salute To The General



Following that, Adolf continued poring over the document. There were a lot of details in it, including a money transfer made from Shearson's personal account to Blackgoat. It was a three hundred million transaction.

It turned out that Dip had helped Nathan to compile all of this information.

Shearson had ordered those mercenaries to attack the factory in Valmora that Eurasia invested in. Naturally, to prevent others from tracking it, he could not use Ariarica's budget to pay those mercenaries. However, he could not possibly afford to pay them himself either.

As such, Shearson's approach was to gather Dip and other underground bosses and force them to pay up.

Dip paid and took the opportunity to snap pictures and gather information,

The information went through several hands before it landed in Nathan's lap. Now, it was evidence against Shearson for being involved in terrorist acts.

As Adolf flipped through the document, Max noticed the man occasionally stealing glances in their direction, and he seemed suspicious of them.

In that situation, he could not hold back any longer, and he growled, "Adolf, are you done with the document? What on earth is the evidence that Nathan claims to have? Also, why are you giving me that look?"

"Admiral Max, I think you are the best person to answer all these questions." Adolf scoffed before he handed the document over to Max.

As soon as Max received it, he began to look through them.

The more he flipped, the darker his expression grew.

At the same time, his vice general standing beside him could not resist and peeked over. Immediately, Shearson's face turned pale as he fell into despair.

How is it possible for this secret to leak out? Did Blackgoat keep it as his lifeline? Or, could it be that someone else betrayed me?

Coming to his senses, Shearson realized he could not be bothered with who betrayed him at that instance. Instead, he had to think of how to get out of the situation.

As Max read through the contents, he grew angrier. He bellowed, "Slander! Someone is slandering him!"

Then, he closed the document and prepared to tear it into pieces.

However, Nathan's icy cold voice sounded. "What's wrong? After killing the witness, are you also going to destroy the evidence? Feel free to tear those papers up. But do you think you can cover up how Shearson paid the Black Goat Mercenaries off?"

Max froze.

Then, Nathan added, "Max, is this what you define as peace-loving? I thought you hated such terrorists.

Why are you setting double

standards? You did not hesitate to take Blackgoat's life earlier. So why do you have to think twice about punishing your subordinate now?"

Standing behind Nathan, Colin sneered, "If you can't bear to strike, we can do it for you instead."

His words only made Max angrier.

"Who are you to touch someone from Ariarica? Besides, he's my vice general."

Nathan rebuked, "I will not show any© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

mercy to those who offend Eurasia. I don't care whether he is your vice general or an important figure in Ariarica. Those who take the life of my fellow citizens and try to destroy our property shall pay the price."

Unwilling to back down, Max gave Nathan a death glare. "You can try."

At that, a dozen generals and a dozen soldiers behind him stepped forward into a battle stance.

Instinctively, Colin, Sage, the Elite Eight, and the Eighteen Riders from the North also came forward. They did not falter and held up their weapons in defense.

The confrontation between the two groups made it a tense atmosphere, and it was likely that a fight could break out anytime.

Adolf did not expect things to turn out this way.

However, as the host, he had to take a stance seeing how Nathan and Max were about to fight.

If he did not pick a side, he reckoned that Eurasia and Ariarica would make him an enemy.

Rather than offending both countries, he had to clarify who he supported.

In a low voice, he stated, “Please don't forget that all of you are in Valmora, and I am the president here. If you have an ounce of respect for me, please do not start a fight here."

With a wave of his hand, a legion of Valmora soldiers trudged in.

Before long, countless sub-machine guns were pointed at Max and the rest.

A chill ran down Max's spine as he stared at the guns helplessly.
