Chapter 1675
President Windsor ordered Nathan to be locked in the ck Shack.
But Will could not bear to lock Nathan in the filthy ck Shack. Instead, he chose to take Nathan to a cramped and dark room.
In the room, there was a desk and a small coffee table with a pot of coffee on it.
Will spoke courteously to Nathan, “General, please take a break here. The president should let you out soon.”
Nathan chortled, "It doesn''t matter whether he releases me sooner orter. I have caused quite a lot of troubletely. I certainly ought to reflect on my
actions. “
After Will had Nathan settled in the room, he excused himself. He ordered the soldiers on duty not to let anything go amiss. Then. he left the
premises.
Nathan spent the next three days in the ck Shack.
President Windsor did note to meet Nathan, nor did he order for his early release. Even Kylie and the others were turned away when they
requested to visit him
Very soon, rumors began to spread among the people. Some imed that the president might have been displeased with one of Nathan''s previous
missions, and so had decided to keep a distance from him.
In fact, other people were of the opinion that Nathan was heading towards a precarious future.
On the third day, Will released Nathan from the ck Shack.
Nathan went straight to the Guardian Special Forces military base, where Will was stationed at. for a shower and a change of clothes, before heading
to the Royal Pce to report to President Windsor.
He spent a few more hours waiting in the Royal Pce, and it was only after noon that he was invited to meet the President in the royal study.
There, Hansel was on his chair reading the newspaper while the First Lady was making tea for herself.
“Good day, sir. Good day, madam.”
Nathan greeted the two with respect. In private, he would always address Hansel as sir, and Cami as madam or Aunt Cami.
Cami smiled at him. “Nathan''s here.”
Hansel looked away from the newspaper. He cast a nce at Nathan, and then went back to his reading. His expression was that of a father who
happened to be reading the papers when his kid got home. It was a look of concern while also pretending not to care.
He said in a t tone, “Have a seat.”
Nathanplied, “Yes, sir!”
Cami poured some tea for Hansel and Nathan. She grinned and said, “I have other matters to attend to. Have a good chat, you two. I''m bringing
you chicken pot pieter.”
With that, she left the room
Only Nathan and Hansel were left in the royal study.
Hansel put away the newspaper and took a sip of his tea. Then, in a rather t tone, he spoke to Nathan, "You have be increasingly rash in your
missions, Nathan
“You''ve actually decided to take the hard way. You barged into a Cab official’s residence, ransacked the ce, and even triggered a confrontation
between the military and the police.
“If I hadn''t been feeling much better, you would have been dismissed and severely punished by Boris’ gang, wouldn''t you?
‘I have exhausted great effort to train you. The country has spent plenty of resources on you.
Your brashness could have made it all go to waste!”
Nathan smirked in reply. “Sir, if I may be so bold, violence may not always solve the problem, but
it can get rid of the people with said problems.
Sometimes, violence can serve as an overt n.
An overt n!
Hansel was confounded by the very idea.
He proceeded to ask while eyeing Nathan suspiciously, “Have you possibly caught wind of certain news before this? Did you... samehow... know that
my illness is fake? "
Nathan blinked conspicuously at Hansel and when he spoke, he seemed surprised, "Sir, are you telling me you have been pretending to be ill?”
Hansel saw through Nathan''s pretense and understood the situation at once. Nathan was ying the fool. He must have noticed the signs earlier on
and guessed that I was only pretending to be sick.
That was why-Nathan had acted so
boldly. He tedk advantage of the
opportunity’ to make arrests. He =>
ransacked Boris’ house, beat the
man up b when he least expected it,
and-sessfully obtained evidence
of Boris criminal activities. Content

Hansel thought Nathan a reckless man. The President did not expect he would be fooled by him.
He looked at Nathan with great
admiration. the young man had
certainly developed a subtle way Qf>
thinking. Hansel put up a rare smile
as hmended, “You''ve changed,
Nathan. You have learned haw to
cormbine wisdom and power into
one.
Nathan said nothing, undisturbed by either favor or disgrace
Hansel continued, “Do you know why I locked you up in the ck Shack? Or why I didn’t go to you, didn’t release you earlier, and after all that you''re
finally here to see me yet I still ignore you for the most part?”
Nathan said, “I do not know, sir.”
Hansel exined, “I wanted to test your patience, but in hindsight, it had seemed superfluous.
“There''s something I want to tell you, and I''ll tell you first here.”
Nathan responded, “I''m all ears, sir.”
Hansel disclosed the matter, “My term ising to an end soon, by which time I shall abdicate my seat.
“If everything goes well, the next President should be elected from among the nine current elders in the Cab. as is the custom.
“Now that Boris is in prison, there will be at least two empty seats among the Cab elders.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
“When I retire, someone will have to fill my spot.
“I have been doing a lot of thinking

believe thatyou are the best N

experience on the battlefield, and
