Salute To The General



Meanwhile, at the Holmes residence study, Carrey and Hamish were giving urgent reports to their father.

Erwin was taken aback when he found out that his trusted subordinates, Braydon and Sigurd, had been captured by Nathan's men.

After he found out what had happened, a furious look crossed his face, and he bellowed, "Fools! The two of them have already accomplished much by taking down Zion for me. They were being too assumptive to go after Nathan! Nathan's the Chief Military Governor. He has the army under his control. How could he possibly be as easy of a target as Zion? These two are truly ignorant men!"

Carrey said, "Dad, the Goodall brothers have always been loyal to you. We can't just do nothing when they're in trouble!"

In a rare moment of agreement with his brother, Hamish said, “That's right. The Goodall brothers are one of us. They know countless of our secrets. We have to rescue them from the hands of Nathan."

Erwin sighed. "Nathan has already said that he won't be joining the next presidential election, but the foolish Braydon and Sigurd just had to cross him. Now, they're just paying the price for their actions. Forget it. I'll call Nathan the next day. Hopefully, he'll let the Goodall brothers go on behalf of me."Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Unable to hold himself back, Carrey asked, "Dad, why do you have to wait until tomorrow? Can't you call Nathan and ask him to let the brothers go now? If we wait another night, the brothers will have to suffer even more!"

At that, Erwin huffed, "Nathan's livid right now. Do you think he'll listen to me if I call him now? We'll talk about this again tomorrow. At the same time, we'll have the Goodall brothers have a taste of the bitter medicine for a little longer. Otherwise, they'll forget the pain and start doing things without thinking them through again."

The next morning, Erwin called Nathan after his breakfast.

At that moment, Nathan was working in the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.

When he saw the call from Erwin, a grin that did not reach his eyes appeared on his face. Picking up the call, he uttered politely, “Hello, Mr. Holmes. I wasn't expecting your call." Erwin let out a bitter laugh. "Two of my subordinates have done something wrong at your place, so I've called to find out more about the situation. Chief Cross, what did Braydon and Sigurd do to warrant their arrests? If they've only made a minor mistake, could you please let them off first for my sake? There are many matters waiting for them at the Special Investigation Unit of the Integrity Department."

Nathan replied, "Mr. Holmes, if you've called to ask about the Goodall brothers, then the only thing I can tell you is that they've been arrested on the charges of intelligence gathering. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to tell you the details and how they'll be dealt witho Nevertheless, I can give you a piece of advice—I'm afraid the Goodall brothers won't be able to return to work at the Special Investigation Unit of the Integrity Department anymore. It's best for you to assign someone else as its director."

What?

Erwin's eyes widened after he heard Nathan's words as feelings of shock and anger crashed into him.

He had thought that Nathan would let the Goodall brothers go as a sign of respect toward him.

After all, he was the man who would most likely be the next president.

Nathan would not benefit from going against him.

Therefore, he was surprised to find that Nathan was not going to refrain from embarrassing him. As a matter of fact, it seemed like the Goodall brothers were going to be locked up by the army for the rest of their lives.

It was then Erwin finally realized the severity of the situation. He had already realized that his relationship with Nathan had changed after he had taken Zion down.

Before Zion's fall from grace, Nathan had still been polite with him.

Now, it seemed that Nathan was unhappy with him and would no longer stay on good terms with him.
