Yanis Howard felt uneasy as he made his way there.
He was taken aback when Nathan had asked him about the situation of the troops in Mayberry.
What shocked him the most was seeing Lewis Connor dressed in a prison uniform.
Nathan smiled. "Do you know him?"
Yanis finally understood why Nathan had called him here.
The General was not interested in solving his son's problem. He had here only come for the Mayberry troops.
He instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He wanted to say he did not know Lewis, but he knew that no one would believe his answer. Left with no choice, he could only reply, "He seems to be a member of the Mayberry troops. Not sure why he's here and in the prison uniform, though."
Nathan said in a calm voice, "Lewis
Connor has pleaded guilty to all his crimes. Yanis, I only called you here because I've gathered enough evidence. I wouldn't have done so if I didn't have proof. We're giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Come clean right now, and you'll get a lighter sentence."
At this point, Yanis had already regained his composure. He replied in a deep voice, "I don't know what you're talking about. What else is there for me to come clean about? Besides, you're the General of the North army, and we're from East Coast. You have no right to tell us what to do."
Right after Yanis finished his sentence, a middle-aged woman dressed in a suit opened the office door and walked right in. She said coldly, "Yes, he has."
Yanis was stunned when he saw the woman. "Mdm. Reagan!"
That woman, Hailey Reagan, was the newly appointed person-in-charge of the Secret Service.
Hailey walked in and said to Yanis monotonously, "The president has given the general and I the permission to investigate the problem with the Mayberry troops. Do you still dare to question him?"
What?
Fear flashed across Yanis's face.
