Salute To The General
Chapter 1650

Chapter 1650

Camilla the First Lady was having dinner with Nathan and Kylie in the dining hall of the RoyalPalace.

Although the meal was not a sumptuous spread, all the dishes were prepared exquisitely withnutritious ingredients.

Staring at Nathan, Camilla asked, “I heard that you were ambushed last night.”

Nathan, who was enjoying the meal, answered her with a smile, “Some thugs launched a surpriseattack on me. Fortunately, I wasn't hurt.”

Looking concerned, Camilla frowned and advised, “Please be extra careful as you're responsible forthe border security in the North.” “Yes, I'll certainly be more careful,” Nathan

responded.

“Have you found out who attacked you and who was the mastermind that orchestrated the action?”Camilla pressed on.

“People from the Secret Service as well as the police have already started working on that. TimothyCarter made a pledge to get to the bottom of the matter within ten days' time. If he fails to fulfill hispromise, he will be punished for his negligence and incompetence.”

Camilla narrowed his eyes and lamented, “Ever since the President was bedridden, all the snakesand goons seem to see it as their chance to wreak havoc in this country. If the President is in thepink of his health, I bet no one would have had the guts to harm you in any way.”

Nathan looked somewhat somber upon listening to Camilla's remark.

Mr. Windsor falling sick was something Nathan had never expected.

He thought he would be able to give Mr. Windsor a hand to eliminate all the snakes in the Cabinetbefore the end of his term of office.

Yet, his plan was totally disrupted because of Mr. Windsor's illness. Without his guidance, Nathan'smission became an uphill task.

Although Nathan was the General who was in charge of border security of the country, the Cabinetmembers enjoyed a more superior status than him. Therefore, he had no means to deal with themall by himself.

Camilla seemed to be able to read his mind. With a reassuring smile, she consoled him, “There's noneed to feel hopeless. In fact, you shouldn't be too worried as there's a chance that the Presidentwill recover from his illness soon.”

Nathan nodded. “Aunt Camilla, is Mr. Windsor feeling better now?”

“In fact, I don't think there's any improvement at the moment,” Camilla answered.

Wistfully, Nathan sighed, “I really hope Mr. Windsor will get better soon.”

“He will. You will stay in Brimmopolis while the investigation is ongoing, won't you? Do come andvisit me whenever you're free. Feel free to tell me if you've got any problems here. AlthoughPresident Windsor is sick, my words still carry some weight to some of his subordinates. I'm surethey will help you if I speak up for you. So, even the Cabinet members won't have the guts to harmyou!”

Camilla wanted to make sure Nathan knew that no one could hurt him as easily as they thoughtthey could even when the President was

bedridden.

Those Cabinet members who were the President's trusted aides would do their best to keep Nathanout of harm's way.

Knowing well what Camilla was trying to imply, Nathan replied with a faint smile, “Aunt Camilla,please don't worry about my safety. Even though Mr. Windsor is sick at the moment, I won't beharmed that easily. I have to keep myself safe so that I can help Mr. Windsor fulfill his aspiration.”

“I'm glad to hear that,” Camilla responded.

As the sky slowly darkened, Brimmopolis turned into a city of lights.

Inside the same battered house, the Dark Lord and his subordinates were having a discussion todecide the place to launch an attack on Nathan.

Grimly, the Dark Lord announced his decision, “I say we do it right in the hotel where Nathan isstaying. Tonight is the night we kill him to exact our revenge.

His subordinates were taken aback by his decision. “Captain, I'm sure that Nathan must be heavilyguarded now after what took place last night. Isn't it hard to do it right in the hotel?”

Dark Lord sneered, “Sometimes, we have to take risks in order to succeed! Now, the entire city isfilled with people who are desperately trying to track us down. I don't think any of them will expectus to launch another attack on Nathan instead of fleeing the country. This time, we're going to nail itby doing something out of their expectation! We'll get our revenge tonight! Now, all we need to do isplan our withdrawal.”
