Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1342

Members of the National Guards were serving tea to Nathan and Franklin before they were asked to leave the room by Franklin.

Nathan's Elite Eight also took their positions next to the entrance of Franklin's office. The only people left in the room were Nathan, Franklin and Colin who was standing behind his master.

Franklin made sure that there were no outsiders around before he blurted out his question, "General, there are rumors everywhere saying that you are the person responsible for the disappearance of Wyatt. Even Sergeant Greene had placed you at the top of his list of suspects. What are your thoughts on this?"

Nathan took a sip of tea and muttered leisurely, "There's a storm coming."

Franklin and Colin both budged a little when they heard Nathan's words.

Even though Nathan's age was still tender, he had survived his fair share of disasters. He had landed himself into a lot of tight corners trying to settle things with his many enemies in the North.

It was a rare occurrence for Nathan to solemnly claim that a situation was going to be serious like he just did.

It was obvious to all that the case of the disappearance of Wyatt Windsor would be a tough nut to crack.

Right now, they were merely experiencing the calm before the storm before all hell start to break loose.

Franklin followed on with another question anxiously, "General, do you have any idea who was the one who had the audacity to beard the lion in its den and cut down Wyatt?

Nathan said with ease, "I suspect that there is a mastermind behind all of this. Removing Wyatt from the picture isn't their ultimate objective."

Franklin couldn't hold the shock in him, "Then what is their final objective?"

Nathan responded, "It's me."

Both the faces of Colin and Franklin fell upon hearing that.

It was an unmistakable fact that Nathan had gotten into a fight with Wyatt, and that the former had slaughtered Andy and Louis right in front of the latter.

Now that Nathan was pinned to this big mess, everyone immediately leapt to the conclusion that he must have had a hand in this.

Even Kenneth Greene was unable to find any clues pertaining to Wyatt's death. This could only mean that the party who had decided to take Wyatt out must have a lot of power and influence, as they were able to perfectly execute their plans under the nose of the Secret Service and still remain unnoticed.

As such, the longer it took Kenneth Greene to find any evidence, the larger the suspicion he had on Nathan.

The reason being that Nathan was the General of the North and he definitely had the capability to take out Wyatt in silence and leave not a single trace of evidence behind for the Secret Service to work on.

Nathan took another sip of his tea and said matter-of-factly, "Now that Sergeant Greene has listed me as the top suspect of the case, I will be put in a very disadvantageous position the Secret Service still can't find any evidence that leads them to Wyatt."

Franklin blurted, "It won't turn out like that."

"Both the President and the First Lady appreciate you and they know you well as a person too! I'm sure they know that you had nothing to do with this and they'll give you the justice you deserve!"
