King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy!
One of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, Boris Tucker!
Head of the Secret Service, Kenneth Greene!
These three men were no ordinary people.
Hansel didn't expect that Lucifer, a local noble, would want to compete with Nathan, a nouveau riche, and that he would make his son Wyatt a sacrificial lamb.
He also didn't expect that Boris would conspire with the King of the North.
More than anything, he didn't expect that Kenneth, his loyal follower of many years, would betray him by conspiring with Boris and Lucifer.
At this moment, one of the culprits who killed his son was sitting right in front of his eyes.
If it were someone else, that someone would have exploded with rage on the spot.
However, having been through many storms and waves in his life, Hansel was rather calm, eerily calm.
The sorrow and anger in his eyes had long since disappeared when he looked up again after taking a sip of tea.
"I'll take your suggestion into serious consideration,” he said to Boris benevolently, speaking in a tone no different from usual.
"What's there to consider, President?" said Boris, almost immediately. "Just convict Nathan Cross straightaway and appoint Lucifer Leeroy as the next General of the North."
"Nathan Cross may be the biggest suspect, but there is not enough solid evidence. We can't just accuse anyone, especially Nathan Cross," Hansel said flatly.
"Nathan Cross has great military feats and is hailed as the God of Military. We'll only enrage the soldiers in the military if we apprehend him without solid evidence."
Boris said, "Well, that's easy. Just get Kenneth to—"
"I said I want evidence. I'm not asking you to frame Nathan Cross," Hansel grunted.
Boris was stunned. How is Hansel Windsor still sane after losing his son?
Boris gave it a rest and said in a low voice, "Yes, President."
"I'm tired. You may take your leave now,” Hansel dismissed Boris with a wave of his hand.
