Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1667

Godric was relieved when he got the two thousand policemen and five hundred bodyguards as backups. His forces, including the five hundred Tuckers' bodyguards, were now comparable in number to Nathan's.

He had more confidence now.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Nathan and sneered, “Although you are the General, you have no right to trespass on the Tucker family residence. All of you had better leave right now, or you will only bring humiliation upon yourselves once Mr. Tucker comes out.”

Both Will and Hailey turned to face Nathan, whispering to him, “General, what now?”

Nathan replied calmly, “We will do what we need to do.” Then, he shifted his gaze to Godric, asking coldly, “Was it your idea or Mr. Tucker's to stop us from arresting the S-Class criminal?”

Godric hesitated under his icy stare. “I...”

“Answer me!” Nathan ordered harshly.

Godric seemed taken aback. “Does it make any difference?”

With a deadpan expression, Nathan stated, “Of course, there is a difference. If it is your own idea, you are guilty of obstructing the enforcement of the law. That means that we can arrest you and charge you for the offense. If this is Mr. Tucker's idea, he is deliberately violating the law by harboring the fugitive. According to the law, even if he is a member of the Cabinet, I have the right to enter his residence by force to make an arrest.”

Hearing that, Godric's expression morphed

drastically.

Nathan continued to grill him, “So, was it your idea or Mr. Tucker's idea?”

Beads of sweat were seen trickling down Godric's forehead.

“I... I...” he stuttered, not knowing how to respond.

With a cold smile, Nathan uttered, “As a much-respected Cabinet member, I believe that Mr. Tucker will not harbor a fugitive.

“If he knew that a criminal was hiding within his house, he would definitely offer to help with catching the criminal to prove his innocence.

“Hence, I can reasonably assume that you have gone behind Mr. Tucker's back to stop us from arresting the criminal.
