Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2422

Leroy smiled and said, "That's right. Unlike Claudius, the fighters from the other Reclusive Families are not stupid and won't make foolish promises as he did. Once you give an order, they would not hesitate to kill Nathan."

Cayden narrowed his eyes. "I need you to send people to four of the Five Reclusive Families and tell them that once I am the Assistant Chief Military Governor, I will assign trusted men to take up important positions in the East, West, North, and South military base. If I am pleased with the Reclusive Families' performance, I will allow each family to send a representative to take up these

positions.'

Leroy replied, "Understood!"

Then, Leyden continued, "Also, inform them secretly that what I wanted the most for my fiftieth birthday is news of Nathan's death."

Leroy grinned and replied, "Understood!"

Soon, the Zartman family from the east alp of Tarran Mountain, the Zuckerberg family from the south alp of Hoch Mountain, the Jimmerson family from the north alp of Hoch Mountain, and the Gilham family from the middle alp of Steil Mountain each secretly sent an outstanding talent from their younger generations to Brimmopolis.

These young men headed to Brimmopolis with the same aim. It was to kill Nathan at all costs.

As the four young men from the Reclusive Families traveled to Brimmopolis, Nathan secluded himself and hardly went out.

At this moment, he remained in an office in the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to work through the documents.

Suddenly, Sage came into the office.

Nathan asked calmly, "Sage, just the man I want to see. You caught Matias and the others two days ago. How is the matter now?"

Sage answered respectfully, "I handed them over to the relevant departments and gave strict instructions. I believe we shall hear the result soon."

Nathan nodded. "Good. Although they were part of the military, they failed to obey the rules and gave us a bad name. Thus, they should receive strict punishment."

Suddenly, Sage appeared hesitant.

Nathan noticed it and asked, "Do you have

something to tell me?"

Sage answered, "There are two matters. One concerns General Quillen's fiftieth birthday coming in a few days. Although he has not received an official appointment as Assistant Chief Military Governor, he is still a prominent figure in the military. Sir, are you going to attend his birthday banquet?"

Nathan replied, "Since we don't have evidence that he is a spy, people still see him as a hero. Can you prepare a lavish gift and send it to him on his birthday? I won't attend his birthday banquet.”

Nathan frowned and asked, "The prominent

families have such privilege?"

Sage answered, “Yes. After all, the prominent families have significant influence, so it is necessary to appease them and give their heirs a chance to rise through the rank.”

Nathan nodded, "I understand!"

Sage said, "For this Special Recruitment Drive, General Quillen personally recommended many candidates. These candidates came from prominent families such as the Zartman family, the Zuckerberg family, the Jimmerson family, and the Gilham family."

Then, Sage lowered his voice and continued, "Therefore, I suspect General Quillen is trying to build up his support base. He is probably trying to sneak his followers into the military and prepare for his future appointment as the Assistant Chief Military Governor. He has recommended too many candidates, so I do not dare to approve them. That's why I wanted to report the matter to you first."

Nathan sneered and said, "He hasn't even received an official appointment and is already trying to arrange for his followers to enter the military? I approve his name list, but the candidates he recommended have to go through strict tests during the Special Recruitment Drive. Only then

will I allow them to enter military service."

Sage answered, "Yes, sir!"
