Craig wanted to dig himself a hole to hide.
He said with a quivering voice, "It... It must've been some misunderstanding!”
Nathan said, "How would there be a misunderstanding about the matter?"
Craig put on a bold face and said, "Tigre Special Warfare Brigade was not beaten up. We had a friendly spar with the North Army and gained some battle scars. It's no big deal."
Nathan laughed upon hearing this.
Craig Carney trimmed one's sails with the wind.
He said lightly, "Spar? That's good!"
Nathan reached for a report on the table and threw it towards Craig. He said calmly, "Since it was a friendly spar, then sign your name on this report."
Craig caught the report and looked through it. The report wrote that Officer Craig brought some men from Tigre
Special Warfare Brigade to visit Channing. They came for a spar with the North Army. Officer Craig was injured during the spar.
Nathan smiled and said, "Since you've confirmed that you were injured due to sparring, just signed your name.”
Craig was discontented, but he held it in.
Nathan's underlying meaning was, I taught you a lesson by beating you up. And you had no choice but to admit that it was an accident.
Craig knew that he was worth nothing in the eyes of Nathan Cross.
He had no liberty to defy Nathan Cross!
All he could do was accept the outcome of the situation.
He signed his name on the report to confirmed that his injury was an accident.
Nathan gave a cold huff and said, "This is your second chance. Three strikes law. If the Carneys continue to cause trouble, I will not let things go. Now, get out of my sight."
Craig left as quickly as he could, bringing his subordinates along with him.
He did not stay the night. Instead, he fled from Channing immediately to the Brimmopolis.
The Carney family clan was awaiting Craig's victorious return!
They thought Craig went to Channing to avenge his father by getting rid of Nathan.
