Salute to the General novel Chapter 2420

Leroy panicked. He ran over to bar Sage's path and hurriedly point out, “General Tomlinson, my brother complained to the Chief Military Governor about Nathan Cross' immoral actions, and the Chief Military Governor ordered you to punish Nathan Cross...”

Before Leroy could finish speaking, Sage interrupted in a stern voice. “I think you made a mistake. It is true that General Quillen spoke to the Chief Military Governor about the issue and asked the latter to punish the culprits. It is also true that the Chief Military Governor regarded this matter as a serious issue and had ordered me to personally investigate it.”

Confused, Leroy asked, “Exactly, so why are you doing all this now?”

Sage sternly replied, “You should pay attention to the details. The Chief Military Governor never ordered me to apprehend Nathan Cross. All he asked was for me to investigate the matter and punish the wrongdoers.”

At that point of the story, Sage paused and pointed his finger at Matias before saying, “I have investigated the issue. Matias harassed Mr. Cross' cousin, Kylie Tonkins. The former also tried to take advantage of the situation and joined forces with his comrades to gang up against Mr. Cross to beat him up. In the end, Mr. Cross retaliated and wounded them, but those wounds do not pardon Matias for their sins. They must also face legal repercussions. That is why I am here. I will apprehend them and have the court decide the due punishment they should receive.”

W-What?

Matias and the others turned eerily pale after they heard what Sage said. Their eyes shone with hopelessness.

Leroy was so surprised that he was speechless as well.

His brother had personally gone to the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to ask the Chief Military Governor to punish Nathan.

How did things turn around? Why is the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor protecting Nathan and punishing my brother's comrades instead?

It was obvious Sage knew exactly what the problem was.

Unfortunately, Leroy was still foolish and asked the question. “General Tomlinson, is there some sort of misunderstanding here?”

Sage firmly replied, “I've investigated the matter thoroughly, and there is no mistake. If there is any error, they can talk to their lawyer about it. Boys, take them away.”

Matias and the others panicked. One after another, they begged, “Mr. Leroy, save us!”
