Chapter 2414


    Cayden nodded and sat down. The coffee table sat between Nathan and Cayden as they chatted.


    Cayden said, "The President is going to promote me, and I will be the Assistant the Chief Military Governor, so I will be counting on you to show me the ropes in the future."


    Nathan calmly replied, "Your aplishments are incredible, Mr. Quillen. With you joining our team, I''m sure we''ll grow to be better.”


    Cayden wanted to act humble, so he said, "It''ll take some time before I officially take up the role, but I''ve actually started doing the preparationtely. I want to contribute to the country and the military while I am still young enough to do so.


    "Honestly, though, it had been over twenty years since I worked as a military official. The president is entrusting me with a role as important as Assistant the Chief Military Governor, so I am actually a little stressed out."


    Nathan replied, "If the pressure is too much and you think you are too old for a role like that, I can talk to the president on your behalf. Truly, it''s no trouble to assign a less stressful


    position to you, Mr. Quillen."


    Cayden''s eyes bulged in response.


    What the hell? I am simply being slightly humble, and the Chief Military Governor is already taking advantage of my words? I can''t believe he''s trying to reassign me to another role!


    Layden was both surprised and angry. He quickly replied, "Oh no, that''s not it at all. I''m not worried about the stress. I''m just worried about how things will be after I have assumed the role. The thing is, I won''t have any of my old subordinates with me, so it might be difficult for me to fully utilize my skills.


    "That is why I''d like to recruit some of my old pals. Many have already retired from their posts in the army, but they are actually amazing.


    "You might have heard of the ones known as the Four Combat Kings.


    "My intention was to get them on board after I have officially assumed my role. That way, we can serve the country together.


    "These men are like the pirs of the army, and they are more patriotic than most. However... you''ll never guess what happened to them after they entered Brimmopolis."


    Nathan put on a skin-deep grin and deliberately acted surprised. "What happened?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Layden angrily protested, "Someone beat them up after they reached Brimmopolis. They are all injured and hospitalized as a result."


    Nathan replied, "What the hell? Every single one of them is hospitalized after getting into a fight? I can''t believe they''re so weak."


    Layden almost choked on his saliva after hearing those words.


    He couldn''t help protesting, "the Chief Military Governor, that is not the point. Your focus should be on the culprit who injured these powerful and righteous men."


    Nathan nodded. "You''re right. Who''s the culprit?"


    Cayden replied, "The culprit is the former Commander-In-Chief of North Army, Nathan Cross. He is known as the God of War of Eurasia, but he behaves more like a bully."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Nathan''s close friends andrades, including Sage, all stared strangely at each other. Everyone was confused. Nathan hummed a little before saying, “Ah, so Nathan Cross is the one who beat your oldrades up. Why would he do that for no reason, though?"


    Cayden didn''t reply.


    Leroy, who had been standing at the side, stepped up. He replied, "Allow me to answer that, the Chief Military Governor That Nathan has always been a bully, even when he was themander-in-chief of the North Army. He did whatever he pleased, and that was why he was fired. He is sent home as a result.


    "That didn''t stop him from being a horrible bully, though.


    "He used to be the


    e


    Commander-in-Chief of the North Army, so he has an extensivework the army. His wife is also the owner of a huge corporation. All that money and influence allowed him to take advantage of his incrediblebat prowess and..."


    Before Leroy could finish talking, the Chief Military Governor grinned and interrupted, "Huh, that Nathan Cross sounds like an incredible guy. He made lots of friends and has a goodwork, his wife is a gooddy too, and he can fight well. My, how amazing."


    Sage and the others, who had been standing behind the Chief Military Governor, couldn''t help chuckling a little.


    Cayden red at Leroy in response.


    Leroy sweated profusely and quickly added, "Please let me finish my story. Nathan Cross may be a good fighter with incredible resources and power, but he is not a righteous man. He causes trouble wherever he goes.


    "The incident that sent our men to the hospital is a great example. He took advantage of his former post as themander-in-chief and wounded everyone. That is a grave sin, and its negative impact on society is insurmountable.


    "Please punish him and bring justice to everyone."


    Layden spoke up at that crucial moment. "I''d like to make that request as well. Please punish Nathan Cross and use your authority to rid the military of trash like him."


    Sage and the others put on a serious expression after hearing that.


    All of them turned their attention to the Chief Military Governor.


    Nathan picked up his cup and sipped some tea before calmly issuing his order. "If that is what you want, Mr. Quillen, then we will investigate the matter. We will punish the culprit and will not show any mercy."


    After Nathan said all that, he turned his attention to Sage. "Sage, you will investigate the matter personally."


    Sage nodded confidently and replied, “Understood, the Chief Military Governor."


    Seeing how seriously the Chief Military Governor took the matter, both Cayden and Leroy grinned menacingly, as though their scheme had already seeded.


    What they didn''t know was that when Nathan said to investigate the matter and punish the culprit, he meant he would punish the Four Combat Kings and the others.
