Chapter 1404 Nathan Wants A Straight Fight With Him
With mixed feelings, Lucifer asked, "An opportunity? What do you mean?"
Nathan explained, "Aren't you always envious of me? Didn't you always refuse to obey me and wishto be the General of the North? Now I'm giving you an opportunity to prove yourself. We'll have astraight fight. If you win, I'll allow you to bring Sky back unconditionally; if you lose, you and yourmen must surrender immediately!"
Lucifer stared at Nathan in disbelief.
Why would Nathan Cross want to fight me head-to-head?
After all, Nathan could hide behind the troops of Bossania and command his helicopters and tanks.
Fighters from the Leeroy family were stunned as well.
They finally realized that the general really didn't wish to slaughter them because they were hiscomrades!
Hence, many of them began to feel ashamed of themselves as they were totally incomparable tothe general, who was considering the big picture.
Lucifer also noticed that his men had subconsciously been convinced by Nathan.
He couldn't help but feel surprised. He was now impressed by Nathan's wits in addition to hismartial arts skills.
After all, his subordinates almost wanted to surrender immediately after listening to Nathan'spoignant remarks.
Lucifer knew he now had no choice but to accept Nathan's challenge!
If he refused to accept Nathan's challenge, his subordinates would have the impression that Nathanvalues their lives more than himself. In that case, he feared they would all betray him.
After taking a deep breath, Lucifer met Nathan's eyes and said slowly, "Alright, I accept yourproposal. Let's do it the old-fashioned way and resolve this with a fight between us."
Deep in Lucifer's heart, he still believed that he would survive his crisis once he brought Sky back.
After all, he was backed by important figures like Boris Tucker!
Boris and the other Great Cabinet Members would definitely help to persuade the others not to takeaction against him. Furthermore, since the president was soon to retire, Lucifer believed that hisissue would simply drag on and eventually fade away.
I still have the chance to turn this around! But first, I'll have to defeat Nathan Cross and bring Skyback because he is the key witness.
At the same time, Patrick and the rest were surprised by how the situation unfolded.
General is the most prominent figure in the region. Why would he choose to fight Lucifer Leeroyone-on-one?
Patrick was the first one who advised Nathan with concern, "General, you're a prominent figure.Why take the risk of a duel? I can never forgive myself if something bad happens to you!”
Nonetheless, Nathan flashed him a smile and said, “I'm merely a soldier and I've survived manydeadly battles. How am I prominent? Besides, this is by far the best solution to save the men fromboth sides without me grinding an axe. Since they say Lucifer Leeroy, the King of the North, isskilled in martial arts and has no parallel, I really wish to fight him."
Patrick and the rest were nervous and worried because Nathan wouldn't heed their advice. As such,they could only discreetly keep an eye on Nathan in his fight with Lucifer.
By now, both sides had slowly retreated for a hundred meters each.
Nathan and Lucifer stood between the two groups of men and stared at each other coldly.
Lucifer squinted at Nathan. "I've actually imagined many times that we would fight a duel to decidewho is better. But I've never thought this day would arrive so soon!”
Nathan noted calmly, "You're actually a competent man with a bright future. Why would you chooseto be a villain instead?"
Lucifer sneered, "History is always written by the winners, yet we're not sure who the winner is. Whoknows? You might be the villain in the end!"
Lucifer then cracked his neck to make a popping noise and said energetically, "Anyway, talk ischeap. Let's resolve this with our fists!"novelbin
Nathan immediately replied, "Come on!"
