    three days.


    Boris'' past misdeeds would soon be exposed

    At this moment, he knew that Hansel had deceived him. hoping that he would let his guard down. Boris’ actions would bring about his downfall to this


    day.


    He was misled into believing that Hansel would forever be paralyzed. Since Hansel''s term of office would expire soon, he thought that the man no


    longer posed a threat to him.


    Soon, he put Hansel in the back of his mind and focused on getting rid of Nathan so that his follower could take over Nathan''s power as the General


    of the North.


    That way, he could expand his influence and have the upper hand over the other candidates


    during the next presidential election.


    For years, he had been making preparations for his presidential dream: to his utter misfortune, all his ns were currently ruined because of his


    carelessness


    Meanwhile, Hansel asked the Cab members to look at the documents that contained Boris’ incriminating evidence.


    After everyone skimmed through the documents, he stated coldly, “For years, we''ve been tackling corruption in the government. I never once thought


    that the corrupt official would be Cab member sitting amongst us.”


    In an instant, all Cab members stood up, uttering in quivering voices, "We are guilty.”


    Hansel pronounced, “All of you are indeed guilty, but I am guilty as well. We are all guilty of being


    negligent in our duties.”

    They realized that the President would only take Boris down for the sake of the stability of the government. They would be alright if they gave him


    their full cooperation.


    Adrian instantly made up his mind to take Hansel''s side. “President Windsor, you''re right! We were indeed negligent. How could we have allowed


    such a corrupt person to be the Cab''s secretary?”


    Clifford concurred with him too.


    “Had I not seen the evidence, I

    “What he has done is indeed intolerable!”


    The day before, these people were the very ones who had promised to help Boris get rid of Nathan: but now, seeing that the tides had turned, all of


    them turned against him without a bout of hesitation

    sentenced to death?


    “Boris Tucker, what else do you have to say?” he asked.
