Salute to the General novel Chapter 2445

At that moment, Garrett was perusing some documents in the study of the White House.

Suddenly, the captain of the National Guard entered. “President Woods, the Chief Military Governor seeks an audience.”

Nathan is here?

Garrett was a little surprised as it was already late at night.

Instinctively, he thought of the ten-day agreement he had made with Nathan.

At the realization of the gravity of the discovery, Garrett grew solemn. “Send him in. Quickly!”

Soon after, Nathan strode into the study in full military attire and raised his hand to give Garrett a military salute. “Good evening, President Woods.”

“No need for formalities, Nathan. Have a seat.”

Nathan sat in the chair indicated. Eager to find out something new about Cayden's loyalty, Garrett did not bother beating around the bush this time.

“Nathan, I'm worried about you,” Garrett said, displeased. “Let's say you go through with this duel. What if—”

“I will fight him, and I will beat him.”

The president looked at Nathan. After hesitating for a long time, he finally relented. “I don't think you're going to leave here tonight without getting the answer that you want. You may deal with him on your terms, but you must be careful not to make

mistakes.”

“Thank you for your concern,”

Nathan replied. “Consider it done.
