Salute To The General
Chapter 2232

Carlton's favorite student was a young fighting expert called Deke Gillan. The young man was furious when he saw his master kneeling before a brat like Nathan.

"Hey, who do you think you are, you arrogant punk? How dare you force my master to kneel before you? Gah! I'll kill you for that," roared Deke, who was going to attack Nathan right away.

Several disciples of the Blackwell clan felt just as angry, and they were going to attack alongside Deke.

"Hold it right there," commanded Carlton quickly and angrily when he realized what was happening.

That angry howl stopped Deke and the others short.

The young lads turned to Carlton and stared in confusion.

Deke, in particular, felt unjustly reprimanded. "You are a powerful man, so he has no right to get you to kneel for him."

The others chimed in and insisted, "He's right. There is no need to fear him. It doesn't matter how strong this guy is, because there is no way he can crush the entire Blackwell clan. If everyone attacks him simultaneously, we can defeat him. We can also ask the fighters from other divisions to help. There are the divisions within the country, the ones stationed overseas, the ones on the islands..."

Carlton was already on edge, and hearing what

Deke and the others said made him feel worse.

Are you idiots kidding me? It's like you boys have a death wish.

Carlton was under a lot of pressure, and he panicked. "Mr. Cross is the Chief Military Governor, and he holds the highest military power in the country! You lot have no right to talk to him like that." The Chief Military Governor!

Deke and the others felt a chill run down their spines when they heard that. The men stiffened instantly and looked as though a bullet had just torn through their hearts, and they were about to die. Fear oozed out of their eyes as they stared at Nathan.

Deke swallowed hard. "W-What are you saying?

W-Wasn't he dismissed from his position as the Commander-In-Chief of the North Army? Shouldn't he have lost all of his power? How is he suddenly the Chief Military Governor?"

Carlton glared at Deke and the others before growling, "Mr. Cross used to be the God of War of Eurasia, and now he has been entrusted with a crucial military position. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

"Why are you boys still standing around for? Kneel before the Chief Military Governor and beg for his forgiveness now! Or do you wish for him to annihilate our clan entirely?" Thump!

Deke knelt down.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Countless disciples of the Blackwell clan started kneeling down as well.

"We are foolish and had accidentally offended you, Sir. Please forgive us."

Nathan stared at the crowd kneeling before him and frowned a little.

He glared icily at Carlton, then pointed out, "Didn't you demand that I come over to accept my punishment? You said you are going to kill me, right? What happened?"

Carlton was still kneeling, and he had his head down. In a trembling voice, he said, "I was arrogant, and I have learned my lesson, but if needed, I am willing to die for that mistake."

When Deke and the others heard that, they sprang into action and said, "No!"

"Shut up!" commanded Carlton. After that, he turned to Nathan and begged, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have protected and spoiled my men, nor should I have abused my power. I definitely shouldn't have offended you.

"That is why I am okay with whatever punishment you deem fit, even if that punishment is death.

"All I ask is that you forgive the Blackwell clan and let everyone else off the hook. Please let them live."

Deke and the others tea red up and fought for their master's sake.

"No, please punish us instead. Just let our master live." "He's right. We are willing to accept whatever

punishment you deem fit, Sir. All we ask is that you spare our master." "Sir, all three thousand of us are willing to lay our lives down so that our master may live. Please grant us this wish." Nathan frowned and growled, "Enough!

"Geez, just seconds ago, you guys were shouting like barbarians, and now you're crying like snotty brats.

"Seriously, the way you're acting makes it seem as though I am the villain."

Carlton and the others kept kneeling, but no one dared to say anything else.

Hence, Nathan calmly said, "The Blackwell clan has been around for over a thousand years. It once contributed to our great nation, so I will give you a chance at redemption. "Carlton Anderson, you are to lead by example and be stricter to your men, so that they won't do anything illegal again."

Carlton sighed a breath of relief after hearing that.

He smiled and immediately promised, "I understand, Sir.

"From now on, I will do exactly as you said and will keep an eye on my disciples. I promise they will grow to be honorable men who will serve the country."

Nathan scoffed and replied, "I will believe your words for now. However, I will also pay attention to the Blackwell clan. If you fail to keep your promise, I will return to settle the score with you."
