Chapter 1730

Clifford roughly got the idea, but he still asked, “Care to explain?”

“We found that Nathan's weakness is his family, which is his wife and daughter. If we want to dealwith him, we have to start with his wife and daughter. But he's with his family now, so we can't doanything just yet,” said Ceaser, smiling.

“So the diversion you mentioned is to lure Nathan away first, such as instructing him to return to theNorth to defend against the enemy?” asked Clifford.

“That's right! Dad, you're now the most senior member of the Cabinet. You can command Nathan toreturn to the North in the name of the cabinet. The Goldstein family will then take the opportunity todeal with his family. When he's blinded by rage, it is inevitable that he will make some stupidmistakes. So, Dad, when the time comes, you'll use his mistakes against him. In the name of thecabinet, you will remove him from his position, expel him from the military, and take him downcompletely.”

Clifford hesitated. “Is it worth it to go to such great lengths just to rid him of his wife and daughter?”

Ceaser said with conviction, “Of course it is! Dad, you may have overlooked the value of PennySmith. She's the chairman of the largest pharmaceutical company in the country and sits onhundreds of billions of assets. If we get rid of her, we can not only hit Nathan's weak spot but alsouse the opportunity to take over Cross Group and enrich our funds. When you run for president, youwon't have to worry about campaign funding at all.”

After learning of the benefits, Clifford finally made up his mind and laughed. “It turns out that,Leaser, your plan will not only kill Nathan but also get us a lot of money. You're killing two birds withone stone! Alright, let's do it. Go back and tell the Goldsteins that I'll transfer Nathan back to theNorth, and you can go ahead and deal with Penny with ease.”

Leaser stood up and said excitedly, “Yes, Dad!”

Two days later, Penny was finally discharged from the hospital, but Brimmopolis remained a placethat saddened her.

She didn't want to stay in Brimmopolis anymore; she just wanted to go home with Nathan.

She missed her parents and her daughter, Queenie.

After this tribulation, she now cared more about her family and simply wanted to live a safe andpeaceful life with them.

Nathan's original plan was to return to Channing with Penny.

But he was suddenly summoned by the Cabinet, who told him that Xyperia had once againdeployed a hundred thousand additional troops in the North.

In addition, they received classified information that Xyperia made use of the opportunity ofNathan's absence to prepare an attack on the North.

The cabinet ordered Nathan to return to the North within twenty-four hours to defend the country'sborders. There must be no slips; otherwise, he would be punished severely.

Nathan was a little surprised.

Not long ago, he defeated the best fighters of Xyperia. Leigh, the foreign minister of Xyperia, andthe others were so scared that they fled back to their home country.

Nathan found it hard to believe that Xyperia still dared to attempt to attack the North after seeinghow powerful he was.

But orders were orders. As the General of the North, it was his duty to defend the country's border.

Besides, all warfare was based on deception.

The most important thing in warfare was to attack by surprise, so it was entirely possible for Xyperiato plan a sneak attack on the North.

He did not dare to waste any more time and immediately set about preparing to return to the North.

He returned to Noble Hotel and told Penny with a wry smile, feeling guilty. “Honey, I know that inyour current condition, you need my company the most. I wanted to go home with you, but now—

Penny covered his mouth. “It's okay. I understand. The country comes before family. It is yoursacred responsibility to guard the frontiers of the country. I'm well aware of this ever since I came toknow that you're a general. You don't need to worry about me. When you set out for the North, I'llreturn to Channing. Remember, Queenie and I will be waiting for you to return victorious. You mustprotect yourself and return safely.”

Nathan hugged her tightly. “Okay, I promise you.
