Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2656

Unable to withstand the intense pressure of the unknown, Seamus exploded, “How cruel of the Holmeses to force me to tamper with the President's medication to harm him, and now you're even planning to kill me to silence me!"

Shutting his eyes in despair with streaks of tears flowing down his cheeks, he waited for Colin to pull the trigger.

However, he waited for a while, and nothing happened. He didn't feel any pain nor hear the gun go off.

Bewildered, he slowly opened his eyes to look. Did they decide to have mercy and change their minds against killing me?

He was dumbstruck at the scene in front of him.

Every passenger in the car was looking at him with a mocking gaze.

What... is going on here?

Amidst Seamus' confusion, Colin suddenly removed his mask and revealed himself.

Seamus' eyes widened with shock when he saw Colin's face. “You! You're not from the Holmes family! You're the Captain of the National Guard, Colin Dunne, who works for the Chief Military Governor. Then, that makes you guys—"

Colin patted Seamus’ face with the muzzle of the gun and sneered, “You're right. I'm Colin Dunne, and Chief Cross sent me to catch you.”

Seamus paled at his admission.

“Then, the soldiers you killed...”

“Those weren't soldiers. They were fakes. I'm guessing they were the assassins the Holmeses sent to silence you.”

What?

Seamus' thoughts were a scrambled mess, and his feelings were a confusing mix. His heart lurched when he finally realized he had messed up the identities of the two sides and revealed everything.

Colin informed coldly, “Get out. We've already arrived at the gate of the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor. I trust that you’ll have a lot to explain to the Chief. Remember what you said earlier about the Holmeses forcing you to harm the President? That's a good start.”
