Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1742

Soon, the trio reached the headquarter of Cross Group.

Along with Ava, Penny walked out of the entrance of the building and frowned when she saw Nathan by Penny and Kylie's sides.

The moment she saw the ordinary-looking face of Bay, she returned to her usual self.

Truth be told, she too, thought Bay was Nathan, but she knew she must have gotten the wrong person when she caught a glimpse of Bay's facial features.

She initiated a conversation courteously, expressing her gratitude, “You must be Bay, who has been sent by my husband to protect us, aren't you? Thank you so much for saving my cousin and my daughter!”

“Mrs. Cross, that won't be necessary because I'm merely carrying out my duty as your bodyguard.”

When Ava saw Nathan, she couldn't move her eyes away from the man in front of her. In the end, she queried in a dead-pan voice, “Although something about you feels awfully familiar, I don't recall seeing you around! Which troop do you belong to?”

Nathan was at a loss for words because of these women's horrifying hunch.

Whenever they encountered him, they could tell something about him wasn't right and would get suspicious.

He could easily brush others off with a random excuse he made up. But not Ava—she was different.

Just like Colin, Ava was affiliated with the North Army, who had been handpicked by Nathan to join the battalion. She was one of the elites amongst the best.

As a matter of fact, she used to be the Captain of the National Guard for the General of the North.

In short, if Nathan failed to exercise caution whenever he was by her side, she could easily see right through his disguise.

Nathan put on a calm front and replied to Ava's query, “Ma'am, I'm a member of the National Guards, in charge of the General's safety!

However, it has only been a little more than two years since I was recruited to join the team!

Although you have never seen me, I have always heard about you, Ma'am!”

Kylie and Queenie nodded in agreement.

With that, they boarded another multi-purpose vehicle and made their way to Cloud Palace. As usual, Nathan was given the task of driving the ladies to their location.

Soon, they reached The Pinnacle of Channing.

When the ladies alighted from the car, Ava ensured she was the last to take off.

When the rest of the party made their way ahead of her and Nathan, Ava warned Nathan with a quiet voice, “You better watch out!”

Nathan stared at Ava with a confused look and asked, “What's wrong?”

“I could tell something is wrong with you the moment I saw you! Why didn't you need the aid of a GPS when we were on our way to Cloud Palace? Since you're from the North, why are you so familiar with the routes in Channing?”

Nathan explained himself with a smile, “I knew my way around the city because I used to stay in Channing for quite some time in the past.” “I'll verify if you're telling the truth! I'm warning you to behave yourself. If I find you're trying anything silly behind our back, I'll take you out with a second thought. To ensure Mrs. Cross and everyone's safety, I II be keeping an eye on you.
