Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1027

After Geronimo had gone outside to welcome all his guests, Nathan, Colin, and Kylie quietly headed to the living hall, which was filled with prominent figures.

The three of them sat in a corner.

While drinking his tea, Nathan casually flipped through the Go manual.

Suddenly, a sneer sounded nearby. "Heh, there's way too many people here at General Louie's celebration today. Even some lowly peasants have shown up. How preposterous!"

Nathan looked up to see an old man and his subordinates staring at him with a cold smirk.

"Who are you?" Nathan asked, bewildered.

The old man scoffed, "Peyton Black of the Black clan!"

Hearing that, Nathan nodded and remarked, "Oh, so you're that perverted old geezer."

Peyton was instantly filled with rage. "You insolent punk! I'd teach you a lesson if we weren't at General Louie's birthday celebration."

"Aww, but I'm curious to see how you intend to teach me a lesson," Nathan replied with a chuckle.

"Fine. If that's what you want, don't even think about leaving Forthmore City alive."

"Sure. I'll be waiting."

Peyton Black let out a cold snort before noticing the precious Go manual in Nathan's hands. His eyes immediately widened.

Isn't that the Go manual I gave to the General of the North?

Why is it in his hands?

"Where did you get that book?" Peyton asked, conflicted with surprise and anger.

Nathan froze for a moment before glancing down at the book he had just finished reading. "Someone gave it to me. Is there a problem?" he replied casually.

Peyton was taken aback.

This Go manual was a treasured antique. It contained many winning strategies that had been recorded since ancient times.

An item like this was worth nothing to one who had no interest in Go.

However, it was extremely valuable to those who liked playing the board game.

Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong were two of the most well-known Chinese artists of the twentieth century, whose paintings were of immeasurable worth. Surely, the two Generals would be happy to receive such gifts.

With that thought in mind, Peyton felt slightly more at ease. He cast Nathan a glance and snorted before walking away with a huff.

Nathan, Colin, and Kylie could vaguely hear Peyton's attendant asking, "Isn't that Go book the one you gave to the General of the North, Master Peyton? Why does that man have it?”

"I'm guessing the General didn't like it, so he tossed it somewhere, and someone

else picked it up."

"If the General doesn't want it, why don't we take it back from Nathan, Master Peyton? It belongs to us anyway."

"Why bother? Nathan's about to be a dead man soon!”

Hearing that, his subordinates laughed gleefully. "Indeed. Anyone who dares to cross the Black clan won't get to walk out of Forthmore alive."
