Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1642

In a level voice, Nathan explained, “I know you guys have taken loans from various places to raise the fund. Without the money from me, not only will you guys be in deep trouble, your parents will be implicated too. This time, I'm willing to help you guys out and save your bacon. I hope all of you will think about your parents, and the President before acting recklessly. Please bear this in mind - everytime you do anything rash, there are people who will use that against your parents. Their peaceful lives will be disrupted. Is that something you guys want to see?”

The officials led by Cheryl couldn't help but keep their eyes downcast in embarrassment.

There were multiple reasons behind Nathan's decision to give the eight billion to Cheryl and her men.

Firstly, his parents, as well as those of Cheryl and her men, were the trusted aides of President Windsor. Therefore, Nathan saw Cheryl and her men as people on his side too.

Now that Boris Tucker and his gang had usurped the control of the nation ever since President Windsor was bedridden, it naturally followed that Nathan had to stick together with Cheryl and her men.

If he kept all the fortune to himself and allowed Cheryl and her men to suffer the substantial loss, he knew none of them would be pleased with his action though they would not let their irritation show.

Other than that, he was sure that Cheryl and her men must have taken multiple loans from different places to raise the fund to participate in the bet.

If they had no means to pay back the loans, their parents would surely be implicated by the issue.

That was something Nathan did not want to see.

Therefore, he decided to help them pay for the money they lost. After all, money meant nothing more than a combination of numbers to him. On top of that, he did not actually fork out any money himself because he won that money from Hagen.

Nathan's guess was spot-on. In order to raise the eight billion, Cheryl's men had taken loans from different places.

The consequences would be dire if they had no money to pay for them.

In fact, Cheryl and her men were pretty sure at first that they were doomed, but Nathan came to their aid just in time.

Their eyes were filled with nothing but gratitude when they looked at Nathan.

If it was not because of the fact that Nathan was way out of their league, they would not hesitate to make him the leader of the Excalibur.

Meanwhile, Cheryl couldn't hide her gratitude toward Nathan too.

Staring at him with her eyes sparkled with admiration, she had fallen head over heels for him.

No wonder I fell in love with him at first sight. He's indeed exceptional!

Cheryl found it hard to disguise the disappointment in her eyes.

A couple of years ago, President Windsor and his wife had tried to be the matchmaker for Nathan and her. However, Nathan turned down their offer, saying that he already had someone on his mind.

According to rumors, Nathan was dating that girl now.

In fact, Cheryl could sense that Nathan had been subtly trying to keep a distance from her. She gathered from that she was really not meant to be with him.

Just then, Colin and the Elite Eight, who showed up in several sedans, invited Nathan to get into one of the cars.

After Nathan and Kylie eased themselves into one of the sedans, the convoy was driven away in an unhurried manner.

Watching the cars slowly fading out of her sight, Cheryl thought about what Nathan told her back then. We aren't right for each other because I already found the girl I like. I believe you will meet yours soon...

Cheryl sighed, “How can I fall in love with somebody else when I only have eyes for you? It seems like I'm destined to stay lonely and miserable for the rest of my life.”
