Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1231

Once Nathan hung up on the call, Frida, who was both their bodyguards and driver, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith, where should we head to now?"

Before giving Frida instructions, Nathan asked Penny, "My friends in the army are holding a banquet in the guesthouse to celebrate my birthday. Do you want to come along with me?"

However, Penny shook her head. "It's okay. I don't think I should be there because it's a gathering with your friends in the army. Since your friends will probably smoke and drink a lot during the banquet, I'm afraid they might be embarrassed if I'm present. You guys will have more fun if I'm not there."

Nathan was somehow amused by her guess. Nevertheless, he agreed with her logic to a certain extent; many of the commanding officers did indeed love smoking and drinking very much.

Most probably, the banquet wouldn't be an upper-class party because soldiers would indulge themselves in any feast.

Furthermore, since they wouldn't bring along their partners, Penny might be bored if she attended it.

As such, Nathan nodded in response and said, "Alright. Frida, drive me to the City Guesthouse first. You may head home with Madam Cross later."

Without hesitation, Frida replied, "Understood!"

Nathan soon arrived at the City Guesthouse.

Although the place was open to all guests, most of its customers were public servants. Besides, since the guesthouse was government property, it didn't look as grand as other restaurants, so not many would choose to dine here.

Hence, the officers in the city often chose the guesthouse to welcome international entrepreneurs or high-ranking officers.

The guesthouse seemed quieter than usual because there were not many guests around.

The only difference was that some men, who were bodyguards of the commanding officers, were standing around the building.

As soon as Nathan hopped down, he noticed many high-ranking officers waiting for his arrival.

The party included Franklin Wilson, commander-in-chief of the Channing Military District, Theo Crawford, commander-in-chief of the Alberesque Military District, Edwin Lynch, commander of the East Bays Rapier Special Force, Oscar Anderson, commander-in-chief of the Alberesque Armed Police Force, Russell Crow, mayor of Channing, Colin Dunne, and the Elite Eight.

All of them wore casual wear or suits instead of military uniforms. They greeted together, "General!"

As they shook hands with each other, Yvonne greeted, "Uncle Fink, you've arrived.”

Even though Cooper looked ferocious, he smiled at Yvonne. "Hehe! Ms. Westwood, your dad used to be my superior. I wouldn't be who I am today without his help. I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Westwood's son has been murdered. So, how could I refuse Ms. Westwood's request to avenge him?"

Yvonne said satisfactorily, "In that case, thank you for willing to take on Nathan Cross, Uncle Fink."

Cooper grinned. "My 120 men are elites from the Dragon Special Forces of the

Navy. Even if our enemies are numbered in the thousands, we can defeat them effortlessly. Nathan Cross is merely a nobody in front of us!”

Upon seeing Copper acting so confident, Yvonne smiled. "Since Uncle Fink and your elites are here, I can finally put my mind at ease."
