Chapter 1342 Beard The Lion In Its Den

Members of the National Guards were serving tea to Nathan and Franklin before they were askedto leave the room by Franklin.

Nathan's Elite Eight also took their positions next to the entrance of Franklin's office. The onlypeople left in the room were Nathan, Franklin and Colin who was standing behind his master.

Franklin made sure that there were no outsiders around before he blurted out his question,"General, there are rumors everywhere saying that you are the person responsible for thedisappearance of Wyatt. Even Sergeant Greene had placed you at the top of his list of suspects.What are your thoughts on this?"

Nathan took a sip of tea and muttered leisurely, "There's a storm coming."

Franklin and Colin both budged a little when they heard Nathan's words.

Even though Nathan's age was still tender, he had survived his fair share of disasters. He hadlanded himself into a lot of tight corners trying to settle things with his many enemies in the North.

It was a rare occurrence for Nathan to solemnly claim that a situation was going to be serious likehe just did.

It was obvious to all that the case of the disappearance of Wyatt Windsor would be a tough nut tocrack.

Right now, they were merely experiencing the calm before the storm before all hell start to breakloose.

Franklin followed on with another question anxiously, "General, do you have any idea who was theone who had the audacity to beard the lion in its den and cut down Wyatt?

Nathan said with ease, "I suspect that there is a mastermind behind all of this. Removing Wyattfrom the picture isn't their ultimate objective."

Franklin couldn't hold the shock in him, "Then what is their final objective?"

Nathan responded, "It's me."

Both the faces of Colin and Franklin fell upon hearing that.

It was an unmistakable fact that Nathan had gotten into a fight with Wyatt, and that the former hadslaughtered Andy and Louis right in front of the latter.

Now that Nathan was pinned to this big mess, everyone immediately leapt to the conclusion that hemust have had a hand in this.

Even Kenneth Greene was unable to replace any clues pertaining to Wyatt's death. This could onlymean that the party who had decided to take Wyatt out must have a lot of power and influence, asthey were able to perfectly execute their plans under the nose of the Secret Service and still remainunnoticed.

As such, the longer it took Kenneth Greene to replace any evidence, the larger the suspicion he had onNathan.

The reason being that Nathan was the General of the North and he definitely had the capability totake out Wyatt in silence and leave not a single trace of evidence behind for the Secret Service towork on.

Nathan took another sip of his tea and said matter-of-factly, "Now that Sergeant Greene has listedme as the top suspect of the case, I will be put in a very disadvantageous position the SecretService still can't replace any evidence that leads them to Wyatt."

Franklin blurted, "It won't turn out like that."

"Both the President and the First Lady appreciate you and they know you well as a person too! I'msure they know that you had nothing to do with this and they'll give you the justice you deserve!"

Nathan laughed bitterly, "You're wrong. I am nothing but a subordinate to them while Wyatt is theirson!"

"Blood will always be thicker than water, not to mention that Wyatt is his only son." "Besides, when Ifirst knew Wyatt had gotten into trouble, I wanted call the President to talk to him about it, but I wasstopped by Sergeant Greene."

"Sergeant Greene's reason was that if the President wanted to talk to me about anything, he wouldget in contact with me himself."

What?

Both Franklin and Colin realized that the gap between Nathan and the President was getting wider.

However, the President should know that Nathan would never bring harm to his kid!

Nathan smiled wryly, "I may not be the one who killed Wyatt, but he did die because of me..."

"There is a huge probability that I am the cause of his death, which is why I'm able to comprehendthe President's hatred towards me."

Franklin responded, "Then what do we do now?"

Colin also blurted, "Why don't we have all of our troops search high and low for Wyatt? Perhapswe'll be able to locate him and capture the people that had caused him harm at the same time."

Nathan shook his head, "Sergeant Greene is already on it."

"With his status and rank in the army, Sergeant Greene must have already mobilized all of hisresources to look for Wyatt. It will only be a waste of our efforts if we join him in the search for Wyatttoo."

Franklin commented anxiously, "But we can't just sit around all day and do nothing right?"

Nathan said nonchalantly, "I believe that they have harmed Wyatt with the hope that it willdestabilize me. Perhaps, it's my position as the General of the North that they have their eye on.They want me replaced."

"Wilson."

Franklin shouted, "Yes sir!”

Nathan ordered, "Tell Fang, Destroyer, and Heptakill to supervise all of the new captains in theNorth and make sure that they do not take any actions no matter what happens to me.”

"Also, inform Fang that on the occasion I have to retire from my position, I will recommend him asthe temporary General of the North via my own channels."

"You must ask him to defend the North at all costs."

Both Franklin and Colin had an unpleasant look on their faces. They had not expected the situationto be so dire.

Franklin responded loudly as he tried to suppress his emotions, "Yes sir!”
