Salute To The General

That afternoon, Nathan, accompanied by Adolf, headed to the factory to offer his condolences.

He visited those that were injured and hospitalized because of the attack. Then, he also instructed the relevant departments to provide compensation to those bereaved families. Apart from that, he and Adolf appeared before the camera to condemn the terrorist act.

Adolf was tactful with his words. As he spoke against terrorist acts and their serious consequences, he did not mention that Ariarica was the one behind the incident.

On the contrary, Nathan could not care less. He bluntly stated that a person from Ariarica was responsible for the attack and criticized their actions.

Soon, major international news outlets began to catch hold of what Nathan and Adolf had said.

As a result, Ariarica faced much criticism from peace-loving antiterrorism organizations. They also received negative comments from people from all walks of life.

It caused them to lose much respect.

Ariarica's president, Bryon, had to phone Max himself.

He rarely got angry. However, he scolded Max loudly over the phone for how unprofessional he was at handling the matter. He even told Max that he had embarrassed the nation and his fellow citizens. On top of that, Max's superiors also lashed out at him.

In response, Max could only remain silent and endure hearing those harsh words. Nonetheless, he had no plans of repenting. Instead, he hated

Nathan even more.

country to settle their urgent needs and had protected Cross Group's factory from suffering heavy losses. All in all, it was a
