Salute To The General



Paisley rolled her eyes. "I'm your wife. I sleep in the same bed as you every night. How can I not know what you think? Still, there's something I don't understand."

On normal days, Garrett didn't like talking about politics with his wife, but he was in the mood for it that night. So, instead of reprimanding her for being a busybody, he asked curiously, "What is it that you don't understand?"

"Zion is the cab secretary. He's a reputable man, so even if he did commit a crime, it can be resolved internally. There's no need to arrest him in public. When Erwin asked for your permission to arrest Zion for investigation whenever he wanted, it was obvious what he was going to do. I don't understand why you disregarded the consequences and allowed Erwin to arrest Zion."This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Garrett smiled. "You and Nathan are confused by the same thing."

"You may not want to tell him, but you can tell me the reason, right?"

His smile turned into a grin. "You already said the answer out loud earlier. I did all this because I want Nathan to interfere in this matter and take my place."

Paisley widened her eyes. "Aren't you helping Erwin take down Zion so that Erwin could be the next president? What does this have to do with Nathan?"

"Nathan only wants to be the commander-in-chief, and he is unwilling to be the president. I have no choice but to force him. As for Erwin and Zion, both of them have been pulling tricks to fight each other for the position of president. They thought no one knew, but I know everything." Hearing that, Paisley remained silent.

Even though Garrett's terribly sick, he still asks his special intelligence officers to report to him every day. He's basically observing every detail of the situation and every move of his subordinates to see which subordinate of his is actually serving the interest of the citizens. He knows who's playing tricks and who's trying to take advantage of a situation for their own benefit. It's obvious that Erwin and Zion have been desperately trying to gain more supporters so they can become the next president. They've even tried to pull a bunch of tricks in secret, which indirectly pissed Garrett off. Suddenly, realization dawned on

Paisley. So, Garrett seems to be siding with Erwin, but in actuality, he might eventually take out both Erwin and Zion. That way, Nathan would be able to take over the position of president with fewer obstacles.

She smiled. Hubby treats Nathan really well.

Garrett continued to drink the soup. Even though he was sick, and he looked deathly ill, there was still a kingly aura around him. "I don't want a bunch of self-serving, crafty fellows to learn my plan. I'm sick, not dead. They're basically asking to get sacked by playing tricks in front of mes During the night, after Nathan returned to his residence, he gave Hansel a call. “President Woods seems intent on making Erwin the next president, Mr. Windsor. Zion may not survive this. Additionally, President Woods asked me not to interfere."

Hansel stayed silent for a few seconds before uttering, "In that case, then do as I've told you before. Don't go up against the president. You should let the matter go. Don't let your friendship with President Woods be ruined because of Zion."

"Our friendship won't be ruined because of that. I just don't understand why President Woods is taking things so far just to support Erwin. It's unfair to Zion."

"I may not understand why Garrett's favoring Erwin right now, but at this point, there's nothing that can be done. You should just stay out of this matter," Hansel said.

"Giving up is never my way of doing

things. Besides, I am considered Zion's friend. We had a great time eating and drinking together just two days ago. Now that he's in trouble can't just sit idly by. I'm going to pay a visit to the investigation unit tomorrow. At the very least, want them to be fair when dealing with this matter. I won't allow them to punish Zion severely if Zion hasn't committed a serious crime. I especially won't let Erwin take out his personal frustration on Zion by abusing the law."

Hansel sighed. "You're a good man, Nathan, but sometimes, you can get a little too chivalrous. You'll get hurt if you continue down this path." Nathan replied plainly, "I hold on to my principles, Mr. Windsor. It's getting late. You should rest. I'll keep you posted on the progress tomorrow."

"Be careful. If you can help Zion out,

then go

ahead, but don't dig your

own grave. I don't know if it's

because Garrett is staring down death due to his sickness that he's acting out of character, but don't offend him just because you want to help Zion."

"Relax, Mr. Windsor. I don't believe Garrett is a man like that. He definitely has his own reasons for doing what he's doing. It's just that we can't see his end goal for now."
