Salute To The General

Chapter 2698

I'm done for...

I'm doomed...

There was nothing but despair in Nelson's eyes.

As Nathan stared at Nelson, he asked, “What else do you have to say?"

Nelson stuttered, "P-President Cross, I know I've done wrong. But please, give me a chance. I'm willing to leave Eurasia and never return. Please spare my life!"

The crowd shifted their attention to

Then, they heard Nathan say, "You've chosen a path of no return; you've chosen death, so how am I supposed to let you live after you've made your choice? If someone who has turned against their country can be forgiven, then no crimes will warrant the death penalty."

The death penalty!

A shudder wracked through Nelson's body. Even though he was no longer a young man, he was still afraid of death.

At that instance, he was like a drowning man who was desperate to cling to anything that would save his life.

When Nelson realized that his pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears, he turned to the others around him. However, it was impossible for Zion and the rest to beg for mercy on his behalf.

Right then, Nelson spotted someone familiar in an obscure corner.

It was Hansel, who had come in quietly and had been staying in a nonconspicuous spot the entire time while watching the inspection with the others. When Nelson noticed Hansel, he rushed over and begged in a trembling voice, “Mr. Windsor, my old friend, please help me out! Nathan is your protege, and you're his mentor. As long as you put in a good word for me, he'll surely let me live. Please, for the sake of our dozens of years of friendship, help me out!"

Hansel could not help but feel wistful at the sight of his old rival's desperate pleas for mercy.

However, he did not let his emotions take over his senses.

He calmly looked at Nelson and enunciated, "Nelson, I've asked you to stop when we were at Drakontos Resort. I've even reminded you that you'll be met with ill fate if you insist on walking down this wrong path. You didn't listen to me, and that's why this is what you're facing today. AS Nathan said, you've chosen death, so how am I supposed to find a way to let you live after you've made your choice?"

Nelson nearly fell to the ground when he heard Hansel's response.

Nathan then said, "Nelson, it's time for this to end."

At that, he turned to Zion. "Mr. Lucas, what do we do to a man who has alliances with other nations and plots to harm his own nation?"

Zion replied, "If there's solid evidence against him, he can be executed on the spot."

Nathan nodded before giving Sage his instructions. "Bring the traitor, Nelson Freeman, away and execute him. He'll serve as a warning for those who plan to do the same."

"Yes, sir!"

With that, Sage waved his hand and summoned a few soldiers over. Two of them grabbed Nelson and dragged the man with weakened knees away. Soon, the sound of a gunshot traveled into their ears.

Once Sage returned, he announced loudly, "Sir, the traitor, Nelson Freeman, has received his punishment!”

The crowd all sported varying expressions in response.

As Nathan studied their faces, he said solemnly, "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have served such a harsh punishment for someone like Nelson Freeman.

However, I've noticed multiple

people getting a little too comfortable with foreign forces lately. As such, I've decided to use the fastest and harshest way to deal with Nelson's matter. He will serve as a warning for the others. If there are mistakes, correct them, there are none, prevent them. Always remember who you are and what you're working for. Do not ever stand on the sides of our enemies. Anyone who betrays the country will end up like Nelson Freeman."

Zion and the rest hurriedly answered, “Understood, President Cross!"

The news of Nelson's execution traveled fast.

Soon, it reached Jetroina and the ears of Max and the others.

When Max found out that Nathan had executed Nelson, he leaped to his feet in shock and anger. "We will never be at peace until Nathan's dead! If we don't get rid of him, he sogn soar with Eurasia to

become the leading country, He'll crush us, the global overlords, under his foot. To ensure our status as the overlords, we have to stop Eurasia from rising to the top. We have to eliminate him!"
