Salute To The General

Chapter 1494 There Is No Need To Be Afraid If You Are...

That night, Nathan held a celebration at the Mayberry guesthouse along with Colin and hissubordinates, and they had a great time together.

Meanwhile, in the President's Residence, Brimmopolis.

The President, Hansel Windsor, had just had a meeting with the Ten Great Cabinet Members toinform them about the issue with Christopher Windsor and to discuss a solution.

After the meeting, Hansel asked Boris to stay behind and invited him to his office.

Hansel smiled and said, "Boris, take a seat!"

Boris sat down as he replied, "Thanks, President Windsor."

At that moment, Camilla brought some tea and desserts for them, and Boris said to her, "Thank you,Ms. Quinn.”

Camilla gave him a subtle smile before leaving.

At that time, Hansel and Boris were the only ones in the office apart from a few guards.

Hansel smiled and asked, "Boris, what do you think about Christopher's incident?"

Boris replied, "I was the one who promoted him, but I never imagined that he would make such ahuge blunder. It's entirely my fault."

Without replying to his response, Hansel Windsor raised his teacup and said, "Have some tea."

When Boris was about to take a sip of tea, he heard Hansel speak in an indifferent tone. "Nathantold Hailey that a shockingly large amount of money is involved in the crime, and half of it has gone

missing. We investigated the whereabouts of the money and found that they were linked to a fewbank accounts overseas under your name..."

When he heard that, Boris immediately flinched.

He looked up and bellowed angrily, "Nathan and his men are slandering me. I have nothing to say ifthey have concrete evidence, but without any proof, I have the rights to sue them for slander if theykeep spreading rumors like this!"

Hansel grinned. "Calm down, Boris. They just want to weed out the bad guys. You're Christopher'smentor and you were the one who promoted him. Plus, you're closely affiliated with Christopher'ssubordinates as well, so Nathan's accusations and investigations are quite reasonable. You don'thave to be afraid if you are innocent."

Boris had a twisted expression on his face because he felt that Hansel was addressing him directly.What he really means is that the only reason I'm acting all defensive is because I'm guilty!

Hansel changed the subject, "Oh right. My term is about to end soon. Boris, you're getting old aswell, and you should be retiring too. Maybe we can retire together and leave our work to theyoungsters like Nathan?"

Boris had a peculiar expression on his face.

Hansel is clearly hinting that even though they didn't manage to get any dirt on me, I should wise upand retire so that they can let this whole incident slide!

However, Boris was much younger than Hansel, and he was very ambitious as well. Once Hanselretired, he would definitely pursue the throne.

He's clearly wheedling me to retire.

If I retire, they will let this whole thing slide.

But if I don't, he would show me no mercy and investigate this whole incident thoroughly toincriminate me!

Boris held onto his teacup and fell into deep thought.

Hansel, on the other hand, sipped his tea slowly and patiently.

After a brief moment, Boris looked up, and there wasn't a hint of hesitation in his eyes anymore.Instead, his gaze was resolute and determined.

He declared slowly, "President Windsor, I am still in the pink of health and I'm too young to retire. Iwon't consider retiring for now because I want to continue to contribute to our nation."

Their eyes met in a fiery exchange and Hansel slowly broke into a smile.

"I get what you mean. You better watch out for yourself, lest you bear the brunt of your actions"

Boris replied calmly, "I will. It's getting late. I should get going soon."

At that, Boris stood up and left.

Soon after, Camilla stepped inside and smiled. "Mr. Tucker looked quite angry when he left.”

Hansel replied in a monotonous tone, "I gave him a way out but he refused to take it. I wanted tomake him retire so that I can appoint Nathan, but now that he refused to

do so, I guess I'd just have to try some other way."
