Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2690

Consequently, Nathan was satisfied with the crowd's response.

Nodding slightly, he turned toward Nelson and plainly remarked, “Mr. Freeman, I know of your reputation and the fact that you have lived overseas for many years. Moreover, I heard that you enjoy a close relationship with many foreign leaders including those from Ariarica. If you have returned to the country to retire, I welcome you with open arms. However, if you are here to cause trouble on the behest of foreign powers, I will not allow it, and neither will the nation.”

The sullen look on Nelson's face deepened. “You...”

Meanwhile, the crowd gasped under their breath upon hearing Nathan's revelation.

From the looks of it, Nelson had ulterior motives when he decided to return and stand in the presidential election. He was actually manipulated by Eurasia's enemies from within the shadows.

My God!

With a drastic change in expression, all of them gave Nelson a suspicious look.

Even though they were easily swayed toward whoever was in power, that only applied to internal struggles. When faced with a foreign adversary, all of them were very united.

After all, no one wanted to end up being labeled a traitor.

At that moment, everyone was utterly disappointed with Nelson to the extent of severing ties with him.

Everyone was disgusted by him for working with foreign elements against the nation.

At the same time, Nelson hadn't expected that his ambitious plan to announce his return had been replaced by Nathan teaching him a lesson in public.

Sensing everyone's resentment, his face turned red with rage, while his body began to tremble. In a quavering voice, he repeated, “I can't believe this... I can't believe this...”

Recognizing that Nelson was out of sorts, his subordinate whispered in his ear, “Mr. Freeman, we need to get Mr. Fabio treated, so let's leave first and go back to the drawing board.”

Nathan smiled. “Young men tend to behave more rashly. I'm sure he will grow more mature with time.”

Camilla reprimanded Kyler, “Did you hear what Chief Cross said?”

As Kyler greatly admired Nathan, he couldn't be more grateful after Nathan had sought revenge on his behalf. Hence, he acknowledged at once, “Yes, I'll definitely keep Chief Cross' words in mind.”

Nodding in response, Nathan turned to Hansel. “Nelson is not just a puppet of Ariarica and other foreign powers, but the relationships behind him are also a complicated web. I wonder if he will back off after we have shown him who's the boss?”

Hansel replied, “I don't think he will. Given his stubborn character and the fact that he’s old, his ability to make judgments has deteriorated to the extent of being worse than a young man.”

Camilla added, “When some men grow old, they become more like children. Not everyone becomes wiser with age. Some turn childish and end up being obstinate and unreasonable.” Nathan plainly commented, “We have given him his chance. If he continues on this wicked path, I'll not show him any mercy the next time.”

From Nathan's tone, Hansel could tell that Nelson would suffer a terrible fate if he refused to stop.
