Salute To The General

Chapter 2069

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.

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."
