Chapter 1672
Hansel scanned through the decument in which its content brought about a cold smile to his face. In the end, he marked it with a big red cross before
he wrote the word ‘disapproved.''
Then, he tossed it onto the conference table.
Boris'' face turned ashen while the
Cab members whe were on good terms with him looked visibly uneasy.
Casting his eyes upon them, Hansel stated coldly, “Nathan has indeed overstepped his authority when he led the Guardian Special Forces and the
Secret Service to break into a cab member''s residence. Yet. our country needs the North Army''s protection, and no one else can lead the army as
Nathan does. How could you remove him from office without seeking my approval?”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Boris and the others dared not utter a single word in defense.
Finally. Zion spoke up, “President Windsor, you''re right. The Cab has indeed made a rash decision this time. So, what should we do with Nathan?”
Hansel pondered on this for a while before he spoke, “Nathan has indeed broken the rules, but we need to take his motives and the consequences of
his action into consideration while we decide the course of action for this matter.
“Just like a person charged with homicide, there is a difference in the sentencing between manughter and premeditated murder. The motive and
the consequence of an act would bring about a substantial difference in decisionmaking.”
Zion and the others concurred with him, “President Windsor, you''re absolutely right.”
Right then, Hansel turned to nce at Cami, giving her a faint nod.
Thetter called out, “You cane in now.”
The next moment, Hailey and Will entered the Cab''s conference hall.
Hansel looked at them. “The two of you were with Nathan yesterday at Mr. Tucker''s residence. Tell me, why did you break into his house and take all
of his documents and electronic gadgets?” he questioned.
Will answered, “I was there to help General to arrest the S-ss criminal. I know nothing about the documents and electronic gadgets.”
Then, Hailey added, “I was there to arrest the criminal as well. My subordinates and I seized Mr.
Tucker''s property under General''s order."
Hansel looked toward Nathan. "Does this mean that it was all your idea?”
Nathan replied, “Yes, President Windsor.”
“Why did you do that?” Hansel asked.
Nathan answered solemnly, “We were entrusted with the duty to arrest the criminal. No one can stop us from enforcing thew, including Mr. Tucker.
“Besides, I knew that the criminal was Mr. Tucker''s follower. Hence, Mr. Tucker must have had something to do with him.
“In the past, when Director Reagan and I investigated Christopher, we found out that he and Mr. Tucker were involved in the selling of official titles
and many corruption cases; unfortunately, we didn''t manage to locate the evidence.
“Hence, I instructed Hailey to conduct a search in Mr. Tucker''s residence to find the incriminating evidence. President Windsor, if we can prove him
guilty, please hold him ountable for his misdeeds
“If it turns out that Mr. Tucker is innocent, I will ept my punishment for making a false usation against him.”
Bang!
Hansel mmed the table and
reprimandecangrily, “Nonsense!
Even if you.suspect Mr. Tucker of =>
committiag acrime, you can''t simply
break into his house. If everyone
breaks the rules like you, there will
beso order in this country.-Content

“I know. It was wrong of me to have broken thew,” Nathan admitted his mistake.
Hailey immediately spoke up for
him, “President Windsor, we looked
through all thé: documents the other
night. We fotind out that Boris has —
abused his dower in selling officiat
titles and epting bribes; he even
colluded with foreign forces in-
attacking he General. Altheugh
General acted recklessly, he has
atoned for his mistakes by finding
Boris’ incriminating evidence for his
misconduct. Please be lenient with
him.”
“Still. I can''t let him off easily,” Hansel insisted.
Then, he looked toward Will. “Will, you''re the head of the Guardian Special Forces. Let me ask you, what''s the heaviest military punishment?
Will was slightly bewildered. His
eyes darted-from side to side while
he uttereckténtati vely, ‘The heaviest
punishment... to be put into solitary
confirament? This is the scariest
ounighment. No soldier can stand
beiig locked in the ck Shack. .
Hansel nodded. “Alright, then we''ll put Nathan Cross into solitary confinement for three days!
“Yes, President Windsor!” Will replied
The other cab members traded looks with one another. That''s it?
Upon determining Nathan''s punishment, Hansel turned to face Boris. “It''s time to deal with you now.
