With that, he ordered his men to retreat.
Boris' face was clouded over, but there was nothing he could do as he watched them leave with his property.

He ordered his subordinates, “Get the car ready! I'm going to visit the other Cabinet members. I will persuade them to agree to remove Nathan from office and strip him of his military title through a motion tomorrow. By then, I can hold him liable for his offense. I will make him pay the price for defying me.”
