The Chief Military Governor's invitation!
Hearing that news frightened Dash so much that his soul practically jumped. He quickly gathered the leaders of the Food and Drug Administration Department, the Taxation Department, the Health Bureau, and all other relevant departments. Everyone hurried over.
Brennan was surprised to see that those leaders actually rushed over.
His jaw dropped, and his eyes bulged. “Mr. Parr, why is everyone here?” asked Brennan.
Dash was sweating profusely, and he scanned nervously at the dead and wounded all over the floor. With fear echoing in his voice, he asked, “Didn't they say that the Chief Military Governor is here? Where is he?”
The leaders standing behind him looked confused as well.
Brennan seemed confused. He gestured to Nathan and Colin before answering, “What Chief Military Governor? Nathan Cross is the one who called everyone over!”
Nathan Cross?
Dash's expression turned evil as he and the other leaders shifted their gazes to Nathan.
Clifford trained Dash to become the man he was. Hence, Dash had always regarded Clifford as his mentor.
Nathan was his mentor's enemy, so Dash saw Nathan as his own enemy as well.
The truth was that Dash only agreed to help Brennan bully Cross Group because Clifford
requested it.
If that hadn't been the case, Dash, the political leader of the South, would've been too proud to run errands and help Brennan like that.
Dash turned grouchy the second he heard that the Chief Military Governor was not the one who sent the invitation. This is all Nathan Cross' trick!
He glared sternly at Nathan and growled, “Nathan Cross, how dare you impersonate the Chief Military Governor and pull a prank on us?
Do you know what crimes you have committed?”
