Salute To The General

Chapter 1348 Lucifer Leeroy

There was a trace of panic in the depth of Kenneth's eyes.

But he soon regained his composure as he snorted, "Well, since you're reluctant to confess, youleave me with no choice but to meet with the President and let him deal with you."

That night, Kenneth called the President, Hansel Windsor, to recount the progress of theinvestigation.

"Fion Xavior, a witness, has testified that Wyatt had a heated argument with Nathan prior to hisdeath. The very night that he went missing was the same day that Nathan Cross threatened to takehis life..."

Having delivered his report, Kenneth went on, "President, all the evidence is pointing toward NathanCross now. He should be the murderer who killed Wyatt."

"But he denied it and refused to confess."

"I implore you, President, to relieve him of his position as General of the North, and at the sametime grant me the right to interrogate him under duress. I'll make him confess to his crimes."

Sitting on the couch in the study with the phone in his hand, Hansel's lips quirked up, but his tonewas calm when he said, "Are you sure that it's Nathan Cross?”

"I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I'm pretty sure it's him," Kenneth said.

"Alright, I'll think about it," Hansel said.

Kenneth froze at his words. Why does he need to think about it? Could it be that he's concernedabout Nathan Cross's unique status and is afraid to make a hasty move on him?

Perhaps he's planning to make some arrangements first before taking Nathan Cross down officially!

Holding that thought, Kenneth said with reverence, "I understand, President! I will await yourcommand."

The news of the General being taken away by Kenneth soon spread like wildfire.

Everyone was gossiping behind closed doors that the General was doomed for killing Wyatt andoffending the President, and that the General of the North would soon be replaced.

The news of Kenneth's suggestion that the President should dismiss Nathan from his post was metwith an even greater uproar.

The next morning, Boris Tucker, one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, had arrived early to meetwith the President.

Born in the North, Boris had trained in the military in his early years. He took up a civilian post laterand was eventually promoted. Now, he was one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, which was aposition of eminent authority.

Although he came from the desolate North, he had the elegance of the South in him in addition tothe unique majesty of the people of the North.

Hansel instructed the servants to serve tea.

They talked for a while, with Boris expressing his pain and anger at the disappearance of Wyatt andcomforting Hansel in his sorrow.

Then, with a change of topic, Boris said, "I heard that the General of the North, Nathan Cross is theculprit behind Wyatt's misfortune. Sergeant Greene has pretty much grasped the evidence of hiscrime."

"President, Nathan Cross's crime is unforgivable, and the thirty hundred thousand soldiers in theNorth mustn't be left without a leader."

"I suggest we punish Nathan Cross severely and appoint a new General of the North."

Hansel, who was in the middle of serving tea, stiffened for a moment before his movements becamenatural again.

Recollecting himself, he looked at Boris and said calmly, "General of the North is a very importantposition and not anyone can control the North Army. I'm afraid it won't be easy to select a newGeneral.”

"I would like to recommend someone, President," Boris said quickly. "He's definitely capable ofassuming the position of General of the North."

"Who is it?" Hansel asked inattentively, while sipping his tea.

"King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy." Boris raised his voice.

King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy!

The mention of the name brought forth the man's image in Hansel's mind.

The Leeroy family was the most prominent family in the North. For generations, the head of thefamily had been known as the King of the North.

The Leeroy family had an unparalleled position in the North, with most of the previous General ofthe North coming from the Leeroy family.

It wasn't until Nathan showed up that this situation was turned around.

Through his brilliant achievements in war, Nathan had become the General of the North at onestroke, and his men had all become the mainstays of the North Army as well.

With that, Nathan and his men were known as the nouveau riche of the North Army.

In another word, they were the new rising nobility of the North Army, while the sons and disciples ofthe Leeroy family, led by Lucifer Leeroy, were the true nobility of the North.

Nathan had been dominating the North for the past few years. He was so powerful that he hadstolen the limelight from the local nobles in the North.

As such, Lucifer had been nursing a grievance against Nathan for years.

Shocked to hear Boris's recommendation, Hansel came to a realization that it was Lucifer Leeroy,Boris Tucker, and Kenneth Greene, who had colluded to kill his son, with the intention of claimingthe important position of General of the North.
