Salute to the General novel Chapter 2697

Nathan glanced at the dead bird a distance away from him before turning to Nelson. Then, he said, “Nelson, did Max send you this thing to scare me? Are you looking down on me, or are you looking down on the Eurasian soldiers?”

Nelson realized that Nathan was surely not going to stop at that after the impressive display of power. In other words, he was done for.

At that very moment, Nelson was experiencing waves of remorse.

He should have turned a deaf ear to Max's words and not return in hopes of winning the presidential election.

If he knew that Nathan was well prepared, he would have never come with the petition and ruined his own future.

By then, Nelson was no longer feeling the ambition he felt when he first returned to the country. He was no longer as gleeful as he was earlier when he entered the White House with the petition.

Panic had overwhelmed his senses, and he could not even speak fluently anymore. “President Cross, I-I'm not in cahoots with any foreign force.

Admiral Max didn't send you the national bird of Ariarica to threaten you either!”

However, Nathan looked at Nelson in the eyes and asked, “What's with the cowardly act, Nelson? If you want to be the villain, stay as the villain until the very end. You can't call yourself a man if you don't have the guts to lay in the bed you made. You know, you remind me of someone—an exmember of the Cabinet, Erwin, who had just been executed for staging a coup.”

As Nathan looked at the trembling Nelson, he calmly continued, “You're the same as him. You seem dignified, but your cowardly nature manifests when you hit the end of your path.”

Nelson steeled himself and said, “It's true that the petition isn't appropriate, but 1 haven't entered an alliance with foreign forces nor have I thought about hurting our country. President Cross, please don't accuse me of this!”

Nathan nodded. “I won't falsely accuse any good man, but I won't let any bad person go either.”

He continued, “You used to be in an important role, and you're rather reputable in the country. If not for your mistake this time, perhaps I would still have to address you respectfully when I see you. Unfortunately, you've made an unforgivable mistake, and no one can help you out with that. What you want is evidence, right? I'll show you the evidence, then. That way, you can rest in peace.”

Right as those words were out in the air, Nathan turned to Sage and ordered, “Bring in the witness.”
