Colin was immediately sent for treatment.
Hailey rushed him there with her subordinates. Arriving at the same time with them were Mayberry mayor Stanley McCall, leader of the picket soldiers Matt Roffe, and other leaders of Mayberry.
Their voices were respectful as they greeted Nathan, "Greetings, General!"
Nathan gave a slight nod and said in a deep voice, "I'm sure everyone knows what's going on the way here."
Everyone had a grave expression as they nodded their heads.
They had realized something was up earlier in the day when Christopher Windsor sent a large number of his men to lock down the city and conduct raids.
It was said that Nathan's subordinate, Colin, had broken into Yanis Howard's residence and took a set of ledgers. Those ledgers recorded the corruption crimes of Christopher Windsor and his men in detail. Which was why Christopher was so eager to destroy the evidence.
Nathan began, "Very well! Christopher Windsor's subordinate, Yanis Howard, has confessed all the crimes committed by Christopher Windsor and his men. I have also read through the ledgers. The evidence is conclusive. Stanley, immediately order the bank to freeze the bank accounts of Christopher Windsor and his men and their family members."
Stanley McCall quickly replied, "Yes, Sir!”
Nathan then looked at Matt Roffe, the person in charge of the pickets, "Senior Colonel Matt Roffe, gather all the pickets under your command. I'm afraid we will be busy today."
The picket was responsible for carrying out punishment for crimes committed by soldiers.
Matt hurriedly said, "Yes, Sir!”
Next, Nathan looked at Hailey. "Hailey, you also gather all the staff that the Secret Service can use here."
Hailey answered, "Yes, Sir!”
In less than half an hour, the bank accounts of Christopher Windsor and his men, as well as their relatives were all frozen by the bank.
Christopher's subordinates all rushed to see him in a panic. Sweating profusely, they said that something was wrong. It was not a good sign, and they asked him for advice on what to do next.
Christopher looked around at them and said slowly, "Things have already come to this. We've reached a point of no return. Listen, everyone. We were unlucky this time. Remember not to reveal too much, let alone involve Boris Tucker. That's all I have to say."
Everyone's faces fell.
Christopher's remarks clearly indicated that they were doomed, but they still had to be careful to not reveal much when they were arrested. They could not implicate Boris Tucker.
