Chapter 2664
At that very moment, a soldier approached to report hastily, "Chief Cross, Xavion Tolkien, and Titus Yanev have led large rebel groups here. They're ordering us to open the door, claiming they want to arrest a public enemy in the military."
Nathan asked quizzically, "Public enemy in the military?"
The soldier replied warily, "If I'm not wrong, they are referring to you!"
Nathan sniggered. "How preposterous! Let me go out to have a look myself."
He appeared at the entrance of the White House in no time at all. The Elite Eight and a large troop of soldiers were right behind him.
The main entrance of the White House was usually spacious, like a square. Nevertheless, it was currently surrounded by armored SUVs and countless soldiers from the rebel troops. There were even helicopters flying toward them from a distance away.
Xavion and Titus emerged about three hundred meters away. Both were standing on an armored command vehicle each as they kept their eyes glued to Nathan.
Nathan retorted calmly, "Xavion Tolkien and Titus Yanev, both of you are from the military. Don't you have any respect for me, the highest-ranked official in the military? Why aren't you greeting me with a salute?"
The duo exchanged glances with each other.
Titus scoffed, “Haha! Nathan Cross, we are here to arrest you as instructed by Major-General Long and Mr. Holmes. We don't want to launch an attack on the White House. Hence, you'd better surrender so you won't cause trouble to the others or bring harm to innocents."
Nathan chuckled. “Hmph! Who do you think you are? How could you have the audacity to instruct me to admit defeat? Do you think you have the authority to arrest me? Get Will Long to talk to me now."
Titus hissed coldly, "Nathan Cross, the medication from your wife's company is not up to standard and caused the President's condition to deteriorate. Instead of settling the matter impartially, you are trying to cover up for your wife. Where's the justice in that? You are not qualified to be the Chief Military Governor! We are here today per Mr. Holmes and Major-General Long's orders to arrest you. If you insist on going against us, we can only strike you down on the spot!" Content belongs

Nathan flashed them a subtle smile. "How could you claim that the medication from my wife's company caused the President to suffer from a critical illness? He's still alive and is in the White House at the moment. When it comes to this matter, he's the one with the right to comment on it. If you are dissatisfied, you can complain to him face to face. But bear in mind only the two of you are allowed to go in and see him."
Xavion snickered. "Nathan Cross, do
you think both of us are idiots?" Nathan refuted indifferently, "Both of you claim that my wife has committed a wrong deed and that I'm backing her up. Evidently, you don't have any respect for me, the Chief Military Governor. Don@you have any respect for the President too? From what I see, you are disrespectful of your superiors and the President. You're indeed traitors rebelling against the military and the nation!"
In an instant, Xavion's and Titus' faces fell.
Nathan scanned the rebel troops facing him and thundered, "Our President is still around, and I'm still the Chief Military Governor. No matter what the situation, it's still not appropriate for you, as military soldiers, to storm the streets and scare the citizens. You shouldn't surround the White House, let alone launch an attack on it. Will Long and Erwin Holmes intend to be traitors. Meanwhile, Xavion Tolkien and Titus Yanev are willing to become their lackeys blindly. Sooner or later, they will have to pay the price for their wrongful deed. But you still have a choice. I hereby announce that I won't settle the score with you if you are willing to put down your weapons and pull yourself out from the rebel troops today. However, if you insist on taking their side, be prepared to be humiliated by everyone forever. Not to mention, you'll only bring shame to your family members, causing them to be ridiculed by others. Try to think it through before making the choice. The decision lies in your hands and yours alone."
In the blink of an eye, the rebel troops were whipped up by his words. That's right! Nathan Cross is still the Chief Military Governor at the moment. Even though the President suffers from a critical illness, he is still alive! How could we disturb the peace impulsively? Aren't we considered traitors by doing so?
Xavion and Titus grew agitated when they sensed their men seemed to have been swayed by Nathan's words. Unexpectedly, Nathan had instigated their men effortlessly with just a few sentences.
Stifling his surging fury, Titus lowered his voice to instruct the sniper next to him, "Fire now and finish Nathan Cross off!"
"Yes, Sir!" The sniper hiding among the rebel troops aimed at Nathan with his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
