Chapter 1493 First ss Merit
That night, Nathan called Hansel Windsor, the President, to report on the progress.
He said in his deep voice, "Christopher Windsor is dead. Arge sum of money is missing, and we
can only barely find out that he was in contact with Boris Tucker. However, there''s no strong
evidence to prove that Boris Tucker is rted to this case."
Hansel Windsor said slowly, "After such a hugemotion, there''s still no evidence against Boris
Tucker? Is it impossible to take down this sly old fox?"
Nathan answered, "I was careless. I didn''t expect Christopher to have a death wish."
If Christopher didn''t die, I could have surely uncovered more evidence. What a pity.
Hansel chided, "This is not your fault! Since we didn''t have evidence against Boris Tucker this time,
he and his people would be wary. It might be difficult to find evidence of his crime again."
He then said, "Let''s have Hailey investigate these matters. She is in charge of this, after all. Spend
more time with your family while you''re still on holiday. When it''s over, you will have to go to the
frontier to guard the Northern border again.”
"Yes, Sir!"
Hansel then added, "This time, you and Hailey have made huge contributions discovering the
serious disciplinary problem in the Mayberry military base. I will get the organization to reward you
guys."
Nathan hurriedly interjected, "I didn''t contribute much. The Captain of National Guards, Colin
Dunne, almost lost his life getting the ledgers as evidence. His contribution is significant. I request
that he be smartly rewarded."
Hansel smiled. "I also heard about the brave deeds of that kid. Let''s give him the first-ss merit!"
Nathan grinned. "I thank the President on his behalf."
He then hung up on the phone call and handed the remaining responsibilities for the case over to
Hailey.
Then, he took the Elite Eight and the Eighteen Riders of the North to the hospital to visit Colin.
By now, Colin had finished receiving treatment for his injuries. He had recovered his vision, and his
hearing had also returned.
Wrapped inyers andyers of bandages, he looked like a mummy.
However, he had a strong physique, so he had recovered a lot of energy in just half a day.
Upon seeing Nathan, he immediately sat up, trying to get out of bed to salute him.
Nathan hurriedly held him down and said angrily, "You''re badly injured! You shouldn''t be moving
around!"
Colin chuckled, letting out a smile, "It doesn''t matter! If it weren''t for those bastards who secretly put
a bomb next to me and wounded me, they wouldn''t have been able to hurt me."
Nathan, the Elite Eight, and Eighteen Riders of the North couldn''t help butugh.
Nathan chuckled, "Yes, our North Army''s trump card is naturally stronger than others.”
When Colin heard this, he was both proud and a little embarrassed.
Nathan then added, "Colin, I have already asked the President for yourmendation. He has
promised to give you the first-ss merit."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The first-ss merit!
Colin immediately grew excited.
Even the Elite Eight and Eighteen Riders of the North beside him were full of envy.
In the military, a first ss merit wasn''t easy to obtain. In fact, it was rarely awarded to any soldier.
Themon understanding was that if you knew you would not die, and you didn''t, then you would
get the third-ss merit; if you knew you would die yet you were lucky and didn''t, then you would
get the second-ss merit; if you knew that you would die and you did die or were disabled, then
you would get the first-ss merit.
Therefore, first-ss and second-ss merits risked one''s life; both were equally glorious.
More second-ss merits were given out, as those who were awarded the first-ss merit had
either sacrificed their lives or were disabled.
As Colin was going to receive a first-ss merit, he couldn''t help feeling excited and ted.
