CHAPTER 1348 LUCIFER LEEROY

There was a trace of panic in the depth of Kenneth's eyes.

But he soon regained his composure as he snorted, "Well, since you're reluctant to confess, you leave me with no choice but to meet with the President and let him deal with you."

That night, Kenneth called the President, Hansel Windsor, to recount the progress of the investigation.

"Fion Xavior, a witness, has testified that Wyatt had a heated argument with Nathan prior to his death. The very night that he went missing was the same day that Nathan Cross threatened to take his life..."

Having delivered his report, Kenneth went on, "President, all the evidence is pointing toward Nathan Cross now. He should be the murderer who killed Wyatt."

"But he denied it and refused to confess."

"I implore you, President, to relieve him of his position as General of the North, and at the same time grant me the right to interrogate him under duress. I'll make him confess to his crimes."

Sitting on the couch in the study with the phone in his hand, Hansel's lips quirked up, but his tone was calm when he said, "Are you sure that it's Nathan Cross?”

"I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I'm pretty sure it's him," Kenneth said.

"Alright, I'll think about it," Hansel said.

Kenneth froze at his words. Why does he need to think about it? Could it be that he's concerned about Nathan Cross's unique status and is afraid to make a hasty move on him?

Perhaps he's planning to make some arrangements first before taking Nathan Cross down officially!

Holding that thought, Kenneth said with reverence, "I understand, President! I will await your command."

The news of the General being taken away by Kenneth soon spread like wildfire.

Everyone was gossiping behind closed doors that the General was doomed for killing Wyatt and offending the President, and that the General of the North would soon be replaced.

The news of Kenneth's suggestion that the President should dismiss Nathan from his post was met with an even greater uproar.

The next morning, Boris Tucker, one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, had arrived early to meet with the President.

Born in the North, Boris had trained in the military in his early years. He took up a civilian post later and was eventually promoted. Now, he was one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, which was a position of eminent authority.

Although he came from the desolate North, he had the elegance of the South in him in addition to the unique majesty of the people of the North.

Hansel instructed the servants to serve tea.

They talked for a while, with Boris expressing his pain and anger at the disappearance of Wyatt and comforting Hansel in his sorrow.

Then, with a change of topic, Boris said, "I heard that the General of the North, Nathan Cross is the culprit behind Wyatt's misfortune. Sergeant Greene has pretty much grasped the evidence of his crime."

"President, Nathan Cross's crime is unforgivable, and the thirty hundred thousand soldiers in the North mustn't be left without a leader."

"I suggest we punish Nathan Cross severely and appoint a new General of the North."

Hansel, who was in the middle of serving tea, stiffened for a moment before his movements became natural again.

Recollecting himself, he looked at Boris and said calmly, "General of the North is a very important position and not anyone can control the North Army. I'm afraid it won't be easy to select a new General.”

"I would like to recommend someone, President," Boris said quickly. "He's definitely capable of assuming the position of General of the North." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Who is it?" Hansel asked inattentively, while sipping his tea.

"King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy." Boris raised his voice.

King of the North, Lucifer Leeroy!

The mention of the name brought forth the man's image in Hansel's mind.

The Leeroy family was the most prominent family in the North. For generations, the head of the family had been known as the King of the North.

The Leeroy family had an unparalleled position in the North, with most of the previous General of the North coming from the Leeroy family.

It wasn't until Nathan showed up that this situation was turned around.

Through his brilliant achievements in war, Nathan had become the General of the North at one stroke, and his men had all become the mainstays of the North Army as well.

With that, Nathan and his men were known as the nouveau riche of the North Army.

In another word, they were the new rising nobility of the North Army, while the sons and disciples of the Leeroy family, led by Lucifer Leeroy, were the true nobility of the North.

Nathan had been dominating the North for the past few years. He was so powerful that he had stolen the limelight from the local nobles in the North.

As such, Lucifer had been nursing a grievance against Nathan for years.

Shocked to hear Boris's recommendation, Hansel came to a realization that it was Lucifer Leeroy, Boris Tucker, and Kenneth Greene, who had colluded to kill his son, with the intention of claiming the important position of General of the North.
