Salute to the General novel Chapter 2086

As Nathan was departing the compound, he passed by a casket shop. “She really picked a good spot. Just enough caskets for her and her people.” Nathan said.

Colin led the Elite Eight to meet Nathan. “Sir, we have prepared the cars,” he said in a low voice.

“Let's get out of here quick and get Mrs. Cross to a hospital.”

“No rush,” said Nathan.

He examined the caskets for sale. His eye fell onto a heavy black one. “This one is pretty good.”

Colin and his men looked on in confusion.

A casket is still a casket no matter how good it is. What does he mean by a good casket?

“Sir,” Colin said tentatively. “This is a casket made of scented rosewood. It's expensive but fitting for aristocrats and people of high social status.”

“Good.” Nathan nodded. “Pay for this and send it to Clifford Davier. Tell him it's a gift from me.”

Colin and the men were startled.

This is an act of war! The Chief Military Governor is picking a fight with the Secretary of the Great Cabinet!

It was not the place of Colin and the others to say things like that out loud.

“Yes, sir. Right away.”

“One more thing. Select another batch of caskets for the key members of the Davier family, especially Valois and his ilk. Make sure

everybody gets one.” “And finally, deliver a message for me. Tell them I am giving them one month to cease their influence in politics and the military. If they do, they shall live.”

This is to force the Daviers to retire from the sceneslAnd bar them from entering politics and the military.Does that mean that the current Cabinet Secretary must resign from his post? Would the Daviers agree to it?

“Sir,” Colin whispered. “The Daviers still have no idea that you are the Chief Military Governor.

Even if they do, they most likely will not accept your terms to bow out anyway.”
