Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1599

Boris and Clifford were both members of the Great Cabinet, but they've always had a frayed relationship.

Despite this, they were both the most popular candidates for the presidency.

Where work was concerned, their collaborations had been both open and secretive in nature.

And now, it was all thanks to Nathan that they both had the same goal to strive for. They had a concrete reason to work together.

“Well, Mr. Tucker. Who should we send over to handle Nathan Cross?”

Boris pondered over this briefly before responding. “Why not Quirrel Simmons.

Ah, good ol' Quirrell. Of course. The Dragon.

There was even a popular saying in the army— First came the Dragon of the South, and behind him lay the God of War to the North.

It would seem that many people in the army assumed that The Dragon or Quirrell would be able to fight Nathan, the God of War.

Many believed that Quirrell was more powerful than Nathan.

There had been whispers about Quirrell's alleged crime. If he had done nothing wrong, he wouldn't have been cast aside in favor of Nathan. Quirrell could have easily been Eurasia's God of War.

Clifford was also surprised to hear the name.

Quirrell was the protege he pulled up with his bare hands. However, when he ran a job in the South, he ended up at the beck and call of Boris Tucker.

This made Clifford dissatisfied with Quirrel's behavior. Although his strength was incomparable, his personality was not particularly likable. Quirrell came off as snobbish, capricious, and have no sense of loyalty. This was something Clifford found hard to reconcile with.

Quirrell was initially someone employed by Clifford. After his stint in the South and his switching of allegiances in favor of Boris, Quirrell would later go on to offend Boris, which led to Boris' dissatisfaction as well.

So far, he had not only managed to offend his mentor, but also his leader.

Very soon, Quirrell was transferred into the logistics department, where he faded into

obscurity. Out of sight, out of mind.

If Boris had not mentioned Quirrell, Clifford would have nearly forgotten this person.

Suddenly, it dawned upon Clifford that Quirrell was the very person that could teach Nathan a lesson.

Firstly, Quirrell was already known as the Dragon of the South. This meant he gained fame well before Nathan did.

It could be said that where strength was concerned, Quirrell s abilities were not beneath that of Nathan.

Secondly, Quirrell was once his protege and Boris's subordinate. This meant they already had a working relationship with the man, which would make this so much easier.
