Salute To The General

Nathan spoke coldly. "Erwin, you dared harm the President? Do I, the Chief Military Governor, mean nothing to you? Have you not already planned with Will that you will take the place of the President while he fills the seat of Chief Military Governor? Now that your Chief Military Governor has already gone to hell ahead of you, why aren't you prepared to follow him?"

Follow Will to hell?

When Erwin heard Nathan's words, he started trembling all over. Then he sunk to his knees on the ground with a thud. In a quivering voice, he begged, "Chief Military Governor, I am sorry for my wrongful deeds. For the sake of my many years of service in the Great Cabinet, please spare my life. Please go by the book, put me in jail, or imprison me for life, but according to the law, a member of the Great Cabinet cannot be given the death sentence!"

Nathan frowned when he heard that.

Colin, the Elite Eight, and the soldiers of the Felidae Battalion were all taken aback.

Even his two sons, Carrey and Hamish, were stunned.

Ashamed at their father's actions, both Carrey and Hamish were flushing a deep red.

The image they had of their tall, big, and brave father, who was an almighty member of the Great Cabinet, was destroyed at that moment.

Hamish found it hard to accept that his usually righteous, prudent, and impeccable father had knelt and begged for mercy. He staggered backward a couple of steps and looked at his father with eyes full of confusion. "Dad, you actually begged him..." Carrey, too, spoke furiously. "That's right, Dad. At this point, we should not fear death. Where on earth is your dignity? How could you beg him so humbly? Anyway, do you think he will spare you? Stop daydreaming!"
