Chapter 1348 Lucifer Leeroy


    There was a trace of panic in the depth of Keh''s eyes.


    But he soon regained hisposure as he snorted, "Well, since you''re reluctant to confess, you


    leave me with no choice but to meet with the President and let him deal with you."


    That night, Keh called the President, Hansel Windsor, to recount the progress of the


    investigation.


    "Fion Xavior, a witness, has testified that Wyatt had a heated argument with Nathan prior to his


    death. The very night that he went missing was the same day that Nathan Cross threatened to take


    his life..."


    Having delivered his report, Keh went on, "President, all the evidence is pointing toward Nathan


    Cross now. He should be the murderer who killed Wyatt."


    "But he denied it and refused to confess."


    "I implore you, President, to relieve him of his position as General of the North, and at the same


    time grant me the right to interrogate him under duress. I''ll make him confess to his crimes."


    Sitting on the couch in the study with the phone in his hand, Hansel''s lips quirked up, but his tone


    was calm when he said, "Are you sure that it''s Nathan Cross?”


    "I''m not a hundred percent sure, but I''m pretty sure it''s him," Keh said.


    "Alright, I''ll think about it," Hansel said.


    Keh froze at his words. Why does he need to think about it? Could it be that he''s concerned


    about Nathan Cross''s unique status and is afraid to make a hasty move on him?


    Perhaps he''s nning to make some arrangements first before taking Nathan Cross down officially!


    Holding that thought, Keh said with reverence, "I understand, President! I will await your


    command."


    The news of the General being taken away by Keh soon spread like wildfire.


    Everyone was gossiping behind closed doors that the General was doomed for killing Wyatt and


    offending the President, and that the General of the North would soon be reced.


    The news of Keh''s suggestion that the President should dismiss Nathan from his post was met


    with an even greater uproar.


    The next morning, Boris Tucker, one of the Nine Great Cab Members, had arrived early to meet


    with the President.


    Born in the North, Boris had trained in the military in his early years. He took up a civilian postter


    and was eventually promoted. Now, he was one of the Nine Great Cab Members, which was a


    position of eminent authority.


    Although he came from the deste North, he had the elegance of the South in him in addition to


    the unique majesty of the people of the North.


    Hansel instructed the servants to serve tea.


    They talked for a while, with Boris expressing his pain and anger at the disappearance of Wyatt and


    comforting Hansel in his sorrow.

    Then, with a change of topic, Boris said, "I heard that the General of the North, Nathan Cross is the


    culprit behind Wyatt''s misfortune. Sergeant Greene has pretty much grasped the evidence of his


    crime."


    "President, Nathan Cross''s crime is unforgivable, and the thirty hundred thousand soldiers in the


    North mustn''t be left without a leader."


    "I suggest we punish Nathan Cross severely and appoint a new General of the North."


    Hansel, who was in the middle of serving tea, stiffened for a moment before his movements became


    natural again.


    Recollecting himself, he looked at Boris and said calmly, "General of the North is a very important


    position and not anyone can control the North Army. I''m afraid it won''t be easy to select a new


    General.”


    "I would like to rmend someone, President," Boris said quickly. "He''s definitely capable of


    assuming the position of General of the North."


    "Who is it?" Hansel asked inattentively, while sipping his tea.


    "King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy." Boris raised his voice.


    King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy!


    The mention of the name brought forth the man''s image in Hansel''s mind.


    The Leeroy family was the most prominent family in the North. For generations, the head of the


    family had been known as the King of the North.


    The Leeroy family had an unparalleled position in the North, with most of the previous General of


    the Northing from the Leeroy family.


    It wasn''t until Nathan showed up that this situation was turned around.


    Through his brilliant achievements in war, Nathan had be the General of the North at one


    stroke, and his men had all be the mainstays of the North Army as well.


    With that, Nathan and his men were known as the nouveau riche of the North Army.


    In another word, they were the new rising nobility of the North Army, while the sons and disciples of


    the Leeroy family, led by Lucifer Leeroy, were the true nobility of the North.


    Nathan had been dominating the North for the past few years. He was so powerful that he had


    stolen the limelight from the local nobles in the North.


    As such, Lucifer had been nursing a grievance against Nathan for years.


    Shocked to hear Boris''s rmendation, Hansel came to a realization that it was Lucifer Leeroy,


    Boris Tucker, and Keh Greene, who had colluded to kill his son, with the intention of iming


    the important position of General of the North.
