Salute To The General

Chapter 1846



When Hansel saw the three of them keeping mum, he laughed. "Since you're not willing to say, I will then share my opinion. I think Garrett is young, steady, capable, and pragmatic. Despite the exceptional results he produced at the provinces which he was in charge of, he never boasted about them. I think he is the best man for the job. What do you all think?"

Garrett eyes flashed with gratitude.

As for Zion, his expression changed dramatically as President Windsor no longer supported him.

Outraged, Clifford asserted, "Mr. Woods is indeed capable, but he doesn't have enough experience. A few more years of it will do him a lot of good." Just as he spoke, they heard Hailey requesting an audience outside. "President Windsor, I have something to report. There is a new development with regards to Corey and Ceaser's death. It involves the attempted assassination of the General which is a serious crime."

When Clifford and Zion heard Hailey, their expressions changed drastically as they looked toward Hansel.

Hansel laughed and replied to Hailey aloud, "Don't you see that I'm entertaining the three Cab members? No matter how important the matter is or even if the death penalty is involved, you will have to wait in the lobby. We will deal with it later."

Hailey acknowledged, "Understood!"

Hansel turned his attention back to Clifford and smiled. "Mr. Davier, I'm already old so I didn't catch what you said just now. Would you mind

repeating it for me?"

Clifford seethed in his heart.

He could sense that if he didn't compromise Hansel would hold him accountable for his past crimes, such as hiring the assassin to kill Nathan and sending the Demon Troopers to kill Corey. He would then be prosecuted in public.

As he was overwhelmed by complex emotions, he looked as if he suddenly aged after a long while.

Finally, he answered, “What I said just now was that I think your suggestion is a good one. Garrett is indeed suited to be President.

Therefore, I willingly relinquish my candidacy in the election."
