Salute to the General novel Chapter 2868

The crowd said nothing.

Ronnie was Rock's friend, so he refused to give up. “Even if Rock had gone overboard, there was no need to take his life immediately!”

Nathan sneered, “When you want to kill someone, you should be prepared to get killed, too. In Ariarica, don't you have the right to defend yourself against someone who wants you dead?”

Ronnie was rendered speechless.

The citizens of Ariarica had the right to defend themselves against criminals who wanted them dead.

Right then, Bryon turned to the mayor of Newcove, Mueller, signaling him to defuse the situation. He would be utterly humiliated if Nathan were to speak any further.

Bryon was Mueller's superior, while Nathan was Mueller's friend.

Without a choice, Mueller had to enter the ring to play the role of a mediator. “All right. It's pretty clear that this was a commercial exhibition match. However, one of the contestants, Rock, went overboard and dug his own grave. Besides intending to kill his opponent, Oreste, he also tried to harm Mr. Cross. In self-defense, Mr. Cross killed Rock. There is no problem with that. Rock brought this upon himself, so we won't pursue the matter.”

After saying that, Mueller turned to Nathan and asked in a pleading voice, “Mr. Cross, what do you think?”

Nathan was friends with Mueller, and they were on good terms with each other.

Besides, Mueller had been a great host to Nathan ever since he came to Newcove.

Mueller had also been a great help to Nathan in his search for his master, Lothar.

Hence, there was no way he would humiliate Mueller in public.

He gave a curt nod. “Sure. I think the matter should end here. Let's not affect the trust between the two countries because of a minor fallout.”

Mueller beamed. “Yes, of course!”

He turned over his shoulder and glared at Ronnie, Peder, and Monte. “What are the three of you still doing here?”

Ronnie and his friends wore dark expressions.

They knew it was impossible to avenge their friend Rock as the situation was no longer in their favor.
