Salute To The General
Chapter 2223

At the headquarters of the Blackwell clan in Brimmopolis, Carlton, in a grey robe, sat in his armchair and sipped on his hot tea while he listened to his son and his subordinates' complaints. Guilt was written all over the faces of Ezra, Randall, and the rest as they knelt before Carlton.

Many of the experts in the clan were infuriated to hear those grumbles and learn how Nathan had destroyed the clan's southern division.

Ezra knelt on the floor and cried, "Dad, Nathan is outrageous!"

With his head lowered, Randall got on his knees while looking guilt-ridden. "Master, I've

failed my duties even though you've put me in charge of the southern division. Now, Nathan has also completely destroyed it. I'm utterly ashamed. I will accept my punishment."

The operation managers of the southern division, who were also on their knees beside Randall, quickly chimed in, "We have failed in our duties. Please, Master, punish us as well!" At that point, everyone present cast their gazes at Carlton.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Carlton looked at Ezra and Randall once more before he said in disdain, "What's the point of punishing all of you? Will that lessen the shame that you brought for me? Or will that resurrect our southern division?"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to

make a single noise.

Carlton calmly continued, "Mr. Camden has specially called me earlier. He hopes that we can help him get rid of Nathan. He has promised that he will strengthen the collaboration with our overseas branches and assign us some of their businesses. If that is so, we'll be able to earn a whopping ten billion without difficulty."

The eyes of the disciples of the Blackwell clan lit up instantly.

Carlton's disciple, part of the Blackwell clan's new generation of leaders, Eton Lucien, immediately commented, "Master, the Blackwell clan has a thousand-year history, yet we have never been so humiliated in the near fifty years. Even if Mr. Camden didn't make such a request, we can't let Nathan off so

easily either."

The others chimed in, "Exactly. We can't let Nathan off the hook. We must make him pay the price for his actions."

Carlton nodded slightly and turned to Eton. "Send someone to inform Nathan to make a trip here to meet me."

Eton immediately acknowledged, "Roger that, Master! But what if Nathan refuses to come?"

Carlton calmly stated, "His family will remain intact if he comes to meet me. But if he doesn't, don't blame me if anything happens to his family."

In response, Eton answered, "Yes, I got it."

Meanwhile, in the Southern District of

Channing, Colin was reporting to Nathan.

Colin said respectfully, "The Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor has informed that the White House, the Cabinet, and the military base will be holding the annual ceremony three days from now. Sir, you'll have to return and attend this important meeting."

Nathan laughed. "Sage has told me about this before. Since that's the case, I'll get ready and head to Brimmopolis tomorrow."

Colin replied, "Roger that. Also, one more thing, Sir."

Nathan was surprised. "What is it?"

Colin answered, "The head of the Blackwell clan, Carlton Anderson, has sent someone to pass a message to you."

Feeling intrigued, Nathan raised an eyebrow as he asked, "Oh? What did he say?"

Colin responded, "Carlton is furious after learning that you've destroyed their southern division. He wants you to meet him and accept the punishment within three days. He threatens that he can't guarantee your family's safety if you don't agree to meet him."

Colin did not dare make any eye contact with Nathan after saying that.

Indeed, Nathan's face grew grim, and his tone turned frosty. "It's a shame those people put their skills to the wrong use. What a bunch of hooligans. Since when did Carlton become so arrogant? Since I'm heading back for the meeting, I'd like to see how capable he is that he dares say he wants to kill my family!"
