Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2448

Every eye at the table stared apprehensively at the Chief Military Governor and Garrett.

The Chief Military Governor stood motionless. His eyes emanated a terrible frigidity even through the slits of the Leviathan mask.

Although Garrett remained impassive, his silence plainly conveyed his mistrust of Cayden.

“Is it Nathan?” Cayden said loudly.

“Did Nathan tell you these tales? I knew it was him! I am the Chivalrous God of War! He, on the other hand, was merely the God of War in the North. I have been appointed Assistant Chief Military Governor while he remains idly at home. He has long been jealous of me by opposing me at every turn. Please do not believe a word he says!”

Cayden became more hysterical as time passed. He looked around as if trying to locate Nathan's shadow behind the dark pillars of the hall. “Nathan!” he bellowed. “Weren't we supposed to have a duel today? What kind of a God of War hides behind greater men to play tricks? Come out this instant and meet your end!” The Chief Military Governor finally spoke. “That's enough, Cayden.”

Cayden turned to look at the Chief Military Governor anxiously. “Nathan intends to sabotage me, sir. You must believe me.”

“Is that so?”

Cayden was about to answer when the Chief Military Governor raised his hand to remove the Leviathan mask.

Cayden recognized the handsome and regal face at once. “Nathan?” he blurted as his knees shook.

He was the only few to have that response. Most of the others seated at the table were already aware of the identity of the Chief Military Governor.
