CHAPTER 1160 PARDON ME GENERAL

Hayden's face was full of shock as he walked towards Jonathan. Perplexed, he asked, "Dad, why are the lot of you here?”

Slap!

Hayden's words were still reverberating across the room when his dad gave him a harsh slap right across his face. That action gave him a bruise on the edge of his lips.

He gaped in disbelief at his dad as he put a hand to his injured face, he whimpered, "Dad, you-"

Slap!

Jonathan had sent another loud slap across his son's face, almost knocking him out.

The people around them were all taken aback before they scampered ahead, intending to mediate the fight.

However, Jonathan bellowed in total exasperation, "All of you back off!”

Those who had just taken a few steps immediately halted.

Jonathan pointed an accusing finger at Hayden, who was still dumbstruck by his dad's painful slap, and yelled, "I can't believe I brought up the failure you have proven yourself to be! You're pissing me off big time!"

As Mayor Talmage was lecturing his son, the other city officials of Talmage were not just standing at one side.

They had lost all of the usual composure and elegance they had when dealing with official matters. Their rage was nuclear, and it exploded upon their children. Each of them located their child and

pulled them aside before giving them a piece of their minds. They did not hold it back on their kids, and soon enough, all of the officials' children were also covered in bruises.

Everyone at the scene was losing it.

Hayden and the rest of the officials' children had all been beaten up by their parents.

What the hell is happening here?

At the same time as their confusion and puzzlement, they didn't forget to take a peek at Nathan and make guesses about his involvement in everything that had happened.

They were not that far off from the truth.

After discipling their children, the Mayor and the bunch of city officials had all come in front of Nathan Cross to greet him, "Please to meet you, President!” Anyone could sense the prickling uneasiness they had in their tones.

Please to meet you, President?

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Hayden and the other officials' children were even more taken aback.

Everyone looked at Nathan in awe. © content.

My my, how old is this young man? He's already a president?

Nathan's eyesight shifted to Jonathan. He questioned him in disdain, "You're Jonathan Lainson, the Mayor of Talmage?"

Jonathan's heart almost popped out of his chest as he replied, "Yes, General!"

General?

Everyone at the scene heard how Jonathan had addressed Nathan and involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

Hayden was struck dumb; he was horrified and even shuddered a bit.

His eyes were full of dread as he looked at Nathan. A voice kept on reiterating the same words over and over in his head, He's the General, He's the General...

Nathan looked at the Talmage leaders with a total lack of emotion. "You all are clear of the reason I have ordered you to meet me here, aren't you?”

Jonathan and the rest responded in shaky voices, "Yes...”

Jonathan turned towards his son and glared at him. "You pig! Scramble over right now and kneel! Apologize to the General! If the General doesn't forgive you, I will personally pull out your tongue!"

The remaining leaders immediately followed the Mayor's example. They hurriedly ordered their children to pay an apology to the General.

Thud!

With a pale face, Hayden stuttered as the words came out of his trembling lips, "G-general, I was a fool to not have recognized you. I have even upset you. Please forgive me for my stupidity!"

Thud! Thud!

The groomsmen who were the city officials' children had also kneeled in front of Nathan; they were sprawled on the ground. In a shaky voice, they exclaimed, "Pardon us, General!"

Nathan cast a look of contempt upon Hayden as he spat out, "Didn't you want me to kneel and apologize to you before I crawled out of this place like a dog?”

Hayden's body was jolting in fear. "I-I..."

Nathan responded coldly, "How should I deal with this?”

Hayden stammered but still made sure to make his words clear, "At your discretion, sir!"

The other children of the officials were also in convulsions, as they too responded, "Our punishment is at your discretion, sir."
