Tyson quickly added, "I know that my son deserved it. He offended General Davis and was at the mercy of Justice Payes. It's impossible to turn things around now that the sentence has been passed."
Elijah asked calmly, "Since you are not asking me to save your son, what are you here for?”
Tyson told him hatefully, "My son was given the death penalty by Justice Payes."
"The man behind this is Nathan Cross!"
"That punk is extremely arrogant and has constantly provoked my family. He even threatened to destroy the Brown Family."
Still indifferent, Elijah asked, "Are you asking me to help you get back at Nathan Cross?"
"No, no! How could I trouble you to do that?" Tyson shook his head.
"Nathan Cross is insignificant. The Brown Family can destroy him any day."
"However, I found out that the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Military District, General Liam Davis, seems to be siding with him...”
Elijah immediately laughed, "Haha, alright I got you. You don't like it that Liam is helping Nathan, and you want me to punish him?"
Tyson responded quickly, "Well, I don't dare to. I just hope that you could tell General Davis to not meddle in the feud between Nathan and me. This is a private affair, and I wish to handle it on my own."
Elijah agreed loudly, "Well, I can promise you that. I guarantee you that no one in the Eastern Military District will interfere in your affairs with Nathan. We will not bother with anything, even if you fight on the streets or start a war."
"Thank you, Commander Lowe!" Tyson exclaimed gratefully upon hearing this.
No words could describe his exhilaration.Nathan Cross is but a nobody!
The only unfortunate thing was that he had to sacrifice his son. It seemed like General Davis was really biased towards Nathan.
He was afraid that General Davis would protect Nathan when the Brown family attempted to destroy him.
However, now that Liam Davis' direct superior, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern District Elijah Lowe, promised that he would no longer meddle in their private feud, Tyson thought that it was only a matter of time before Nathan met his end.
He thanked Elijah profusely for his help and left with his men. Naturally, he was about to gather his resources and prepare for an attack on Nathan.
After Tyson left, Elijah picked up the calligraphy scroll from the desk.
He unrolled it, looked at the words on the parchment, and a smile slowly crept onto his face. It was as though this was all a game to him.
