Salute To The General
Chapter 2452

The only ones left were the military personnel.

Nathan instructed Sage to arrest Layden s followers and old subordinates. Then, he gave the order to the army to give Layden a military funeral and to inform the public that Layden had passed away from a heart attack while working as the Assistant Chief Military Governor due to stress and old age.

"Understood, sir!"

Layden was officially promoted to the position of Assistant Chief Military Governor before the news of his death was released to the public.

When the others heard about it, they were surprised.

However, no one suspected the authenticity of the news. After all, the president, the Chief Military Governor, the members of the Great Cabinet, the ministers, and an army commander were there when that happened to Cayden. Since the government was the one who informed them about the news, they believed in it.

The next day, Cayden's funeral was held.

Nathan sat in the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor's office and stared at the globe on the table in a daze.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Nathan muttered, "Come in."

Sage entered and politely greeted, "Sir."

"Is everything settled?"

Sage replied, "Everything's been dealt with according to your instructions. Nothing's unusual about the public's reaction. They all just feel pity that

Cayden suddenly died."

Nathan hummed. "We've hidden the truth to avoid the negative implications of this case, and by doing that, we've managed to keep Layden's reputation as well."

"I'd say he's gotten off easy. Sir, you keep trying to give him an honorable death, but he still used Burblo before he died to try to end your life as well. What a shameless man."

Nathan replied, "He's probably just trying to sound out my true capabilities. Forget it. There's nothing left to talk about a dead man. it's meaningless." "Although Cayden's dead, I've found out that he may have a connection with the Eight-Nation Alliance. If my guess is right, 88 Alliance is behind this."

Hearing that, Nathan's expression turned cold.

"88 Summit was held at Xyperia a while ago. I'm guessing that Cayden's plan was made after discussing it with those countries. His case is one of their multiple plans in going up against Eurasia."

Sage gritted out, "Does the Eight-Nation Alliance think that Eurasia is a sleeping volcano? Are they trying to repeat the Coalition Army's incident? They're out of their minds!"

After taking a glance at Sage, Nathan calmly replied, "Don't worry. The Dragon of the East has awakened, and it's now guarding the east. The west is still living in the past, and I'll soon give them a hard slap to snap them back to reality. I'll have them know who's the king and who are the peasants."

Soon, news of Cayden's death spread across the entire country.

When the Five Reclusive Families caught wind of it, fear washed over them.

It was especially so for the Norrises. They recalled that their elder, Claudius, once said that Cayden was not the chosen one and that those who worked for Cayden would not end well.

Now, it seemed like their elder was right. They were glad that the Norris family had chosen to become hermits instead of working for Cayden.

Similarly, the news of Cayden's death was spread to other countries and reached Ariarica's Five-star General, Max.

Upon hearing the news, Max was filled with shock as he blurted out,

"What? Cayden's dead?"

An intelligence officer replied, "Yes. It's likely that Layden has been found out, so he was killed on the day of his inauguration. However, our officers could not replace out what happened in detail because Eurasia had kept the incident under wraps." At that, Max growled, "That can't be. Layden couldn't have been found out."

The intelligence officer replied, "It's possible. Sir, please remember that you had once sent Marshall to kill Nathan, but he failed in his task and was killed by Nathan instead. Nathan has gotten Marshall's phone, and he has found Cayden's number in it. Moreover, Layden has revealed to you that Nathan probably figured out who he was. Therefore, it's very likely that Nathan had found out about Cayden's secret and informed Eurasia's Chief Military Governor about it. The Chief Military Governor then executed Cay den." Max froze, but soon, he began scowling. "Nathan again! This b*stard keeps messing with my plans!"
