Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1675

President Windsor ordered Nathan to be locked in the Black Shack.

But Will could not bear to lock Nathan in the filthy Black Shack. Instead, he chose to take Nathan to a cramped and dark room.

In the room, there was a desk and a small coffee table with a pot of coffee on it.

Will spoke courteously to Nathan, “General, please take a break here. The president should let you out soon.”

Nathan chortled, “It doesn't matter whether he releases me sooner or later. I have caused quite a lot of trouble lately. I certainly ought to reflect on my actions. “

After Will had Nathan settled in the room, he excused himself. He ordered the soldiers on duty not to let anything go amiss. Then, he left the premises.

Nathan spent the next three days in the Black Shack.

President Windsor did not come to meet Nathan, nor did he order for his early release. Even Kylie and the others were turned away when they requested to visit him.

Very soon, rumors began to spread among the people. Some claimed that the president might have been displeased with one of Nathan's previous missions, and so had decided to keep a distance from him.

In fact, other people were of the opinion that Nathan was heading towards a precarious future.

On the third day, Will released Nathan from the Black Shack.

Nathan went straight to the Guardian Special Forces military base, where Will was stationed at, for a shower and a change of clothes, before heading to the Royal Palace to report to President Windsor.

He spent a few more hours waiting in the Royal Palace, and it was only after noon that he was invited to meet the President in the royal study.

There, Hansel was on his chair reading the newspaper while the First Lady was making tea for herself.

“Good day, sir. Good day, madam.”

Nathan greeted the two with respect. In private, he would always address Hansel as sir, and Camilla as madam or Aunt Camilla.

Camilla smiled at him. “Nathan's here.”

Hansel looked away from the newspaper. He cast a glance at Nathan, and then went back to his reading. His expression was that of a father who happened to be reading the papers when his kid got home. It was a look of concern while also pretending not to care.

He said in a flat tone, “Have a seat.”

Nathan complied, “Yes, sir!”

Camilla poured some tea for Hansel and Nathan. She grinned and said, “I have other matters to attend to. Have a good chat, you two. I'm bringing you chicken pot pie later.”

With that, she left the room.

Only Nathan and Hansel were left in the royal study.

Hansel put away the newspaper and took a sip of his tea. Then, in a rather flat tone, he spoke to Nathan, “You have become increasingly rash in your missions, Nathan.

“You've actually decided to take the hard way. You barged into a Cabinet official's residence, ransacked the place, and even triggered a confrontation between the military and the police.
