Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2030

Christian's heart raced when he saw Nathan as he cursed from within, You ungrateful bastard, how could you cause such a huge ruckus? You're trying to bring about your own destruction here!

Hurley, however, didn't notice Christian's expression had changed at that point as he glared at Nathan with hatred and urged Christian loudly, “Mr. Leigh, tell your people to arrest this brat and torture him with all excruciating torture techniques.

But you, you unruly citizen, told me to arrest people straight away, torture them, and make them inhuman before throwing them in jail. Are you treating me like an incompetent officer?”

Hurley's face changed dramatically as he hurriedly replied, “Vice Mayor Leigh, I don't mean that at all, in fact, I am...”
