Salute To The General

Chapter 2069



Clifford was taken aback.

However, being a person who had his mettle often put to the test, he recovered just as quickly.

He attempted to sidestep the issue by professing that they had misunderstood the situation, not realizing that Sage was only acting upon the Chief Military Governor's orders, and proceeded to offer him a seat at the table.

Sage, too, was a proud man.

He stood behind Nathan staidly. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Tucker. As I am but a subordinate of the Chief Military Governor, it would only be proper that I remained on my feet next to him."

As politely as he had put it, it was obvious the man refused the offer because he had taken exception to his own treatment earlier.

Sage's declination left Clifford and the others in an awkward position.

Upon assessing the mood, Nathan's lips curled into a smile, "My man here is a bit of straight talker, Mr. Davier, so I hope that you wouldn't mind."

Even if Clifford felt slighted, he was not about to spell it out loud.

"No, not at all," he chuckled.
