Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1657

Soon, Will, Hailey, and Timothy rushed over with their respective subordinates and sealed all the exits of the hotel.

Amongst the three of them, Hailey and Will were exceptionally surprised and furious.

For the General to be attacked twice consecutively in Brimmopolis, it was a blatant act of provocation. The perpetrator was simply being too bold!

Will commanded in a stern voice. “Impose martial law on the entire city right away.”

Similarly, Hailey Reagan instructed furiously, “Under my orders, cancel everyone's breaks in the Secret Service. They are all to investigate this matter. It is an impetus to ferret out all the culprits who participated in this attack against

the General.”

Timothy's face paled. He wanted to say something and take appropriate action, but he found himself at a loss for words instead.

Brimmopolis was under his jurisdiction, but the General actually got attacked by mercenaries there.

As this was proof that there was a serious flaw with his management, he would definitely be held accountable for his negligence.

However, Nathan suddenly interrupted calmly, “Wait.”

When Will, Hailey, and the rest heard that, they stared at him in astonishment.

Stunned, Will insisted, “General, the forces opposing you are much more formidable than what we expected. Furthermore, they're really bold! We can't possibly let anyone slip away, so we must impose a full martial lockdown on the city instantly.”

Hailey concurred, “Yeah, we must immediately hold a cabinet meeting to handle this matter.”

However, Nathan replied coolly, “Indeed, we must report this to the cabinet and investigate it properly. However, news of me being attacked last night has already created a small commotion in Brimmopolis. If news spread that I got attacked again tonight, people might start to panic. Hence, you are not allowed to spread the news widely. Ensure that all information is not leaked to the public and treat this incident as highly confidential. We'll settle it internally.”

When Hailey and Will heard him, they nodded simultaneously. “Yes, sir!”

Nathan's gaze then landed on Timothy as he asked, “Mr. Carter, continue your investigation. There are still nine days to the deadline of your pledge. If you cannot uncover the truth and submit a satisfactory report to me, that'll be the end of you.”

Timothy initially assumed that the General would be exceptionally furious after being attacked for the second time. Hence, he had expected the latter to kick him away immediately instead of allowing him to continue the investigation.

To his surprise, Nathan still instructed him to continue investigating.
