Salute To The General

Nathan had been through storm and rain in life.

It was clear as day to him that Figaro was the one behind Hideo and Bentley's genius idea of the foreign cultural street, so it was taken as read that Nathan disliked Figaro.

"Why should I inform you? Are you trying to say I can't come without giving prior notice?" Nathan questioned coldly. "Does it mean you guys are gonna tear my clothes off, break my legs, and throw me out?" Figaro was terrified when Nathan spoke sarcastically to him.

He dropped to his knees and implored Nathan for mercy with a shaky voice, "That was not what I meant, President Cross! I was just thinking that I could give you a warm welcome if I were informed of your coming. Nothing of this sort would have happened if I'd known earlier!" "I see. Are you trying to say that if you'd known I was coming, you would have had time to cover up whatever that was happening down that cultural street, along with all the thugs I saw?" Nathan interrogated.

"Is that what you meant by 'a warm

welcome"?"

Figaro's face paled at Nathan's forthright questions. He did not know how else to defend himself under Nathan's scrutiny.

"Figaro Labarge! You have no idea how disgusting this place is," Nathan rebuked. "You'll be held accountable for this. You'd better get ready for an official inquiry. Get someone else to fill in your place, and for now, pray to God that they don't find out about any other illicit deals you're involved in. Because if they do, you'll be in deep trouble."

Nathan's warning resounded like a rumble of thunder in Figaro's ears.

That will be the end of me!

Figaro was shaking in fear when he realized the severity of the problem. Back when Bentley, Hideo, and the others had tried to push through with the project, there had been a lot of opposition from the locals. But with Figaro's help, they had managed to silence the residents.

During that time, Figaro had pocketed some money from them.
