Salute To The General
Chapter 1640

Chapter 1640

Despite feeling bitter deep down inside, Timothy approached Nathan with a simpering smile on hisface. “Mr. Cross, I'm surprised to see you here!”

Nathan responded in a flat tone, “Tim, I'm glad to see you again. Have you finished dealing with thebunch of people from The Cross Gang?”

Timothy answered him in an anxious tone, “I'm getting there. The trial will start tomorrow and all wehave to do is to wait for the judge to give out his judgment and sentence.”

Nathan nodded in approval. “Perfect!”

People around them started exchanging glances when they heard Timothy.

Hagen, who was on his knees, looked livid with rage. At last, he could no longer hold back his angeras he seethed, “Mr. Carter, that scoundrel was the one who beat my men to death, injured me,forced me to kneel down in front of him and threatened me! I asked you here to finish him off, not toreport your work to him!”

Everyone responded differently to the interaction between Timothy and Hagen. At the same time,they could tell that Nathan must be some sort of a big shot, or Timothy would not treat him with somuch reverence.

Cheryl and her fellow officials were psyched the moment they took into account the respectfulmanner Timothy spoke to Nathan.

They were pissed with Hagen and his men, who had been bullying them quite badly lately.

Their mood hit an all-time low when they lost a sum often billion to Hagen in a gamble.

Everything looked so bleak - they thought they would be tormented by Hagen and his men in thefuture, and they were sure there was nothing they could do to salvage the situation.

To their utter surprise, Cheryl performed some sort of sorcery to get Nathan here to help them. Notonly was the young man a rich guy, he seemed to be quite powerful and influential too. It wasunbelievable that even someone as snobbish and arrogant as Hagen was tamed by him.

Their curiosity was piqued and they couldn't help but wonder what kind of powerful backgroundNathan actually had.

Glancing back and forth from Hagen—who was still fuming—and then to Timothy, whoseexpression looked stiff, Nathan chuckled, “Tim, I have some sort of a feud with this lad here. Tell menow - whose side are you on?”

Much flustered after hearing Nathan's question, Hagen raised his voice and urged, “Mr. Carter, don'tyou forget that my father is your master and he's taught you a lot of stuff! Now, I'm offended by thatlad, and I demand you to arrest him immediately and interrogate him with punishments!”

Timothy's forehead was covered with beads of sweat as he found himself in a quandary.

He was the disciple of Boris Tucker, who had not been on good terms with Nathan lately.

Therefore, he did not have the guts to publicly express his support for Nathan.

However, there was no way he could arrest Nathan as what Hagen requested too.

He fished out a handkerchief and dabbed at his forehead before bracing himself to say, “Mr. Hagen,I'm sure there must be some

misunderstanding between you and Mr. Cross here. If Mr. Cross replaces something you did offensive,why don't you offer an apology to him? I'll help you put in some good words to convince Mr. Cross to

forgive you this time. Then, we'll let the matter rest, alright?”

Hagen was left dumbfounded and incensed after hearing what Timothy said.

Timothy had turned out to be such a letdown for Hagen. Instead of finishing off Nathan as he wasasked to do, he ended up offering to help him plead for leniency from Nathan.

With his expression hardened, he seethed, “Mr. Carter, how dare you ask me to apologize to him!Are you out of your mind? Who exactly is he? Why are you so afraid of him?”

Many of them who presented at the scene were curious about the answers to Hagen's questions

too.

Just then, Timothy stole a furtive glance at Nathan and found him looking unperturbed andcomposed.

At that moment, he steeled himself to answer Hagen's question in a soft voice, “If you really want toknow who Mr. Cross is, I can only give you a clue - he's awarded the highest military merit of ourcountry!”

Boom!

Hagen and his men went stupefied as though they were just struck by lightning-
