Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1785

Two men in black brought over a chair and placed it right before Thomas and Ivan.

“Judging by the looks on your faces, I guess you're aware that I'm from the Davier family,” Arnold took a seat casually as his lips curled into a sly smile.

“I'd go so far to even say that you guys know perfectly well why you're here.

“So, are you planning to enlighten me?”

Ivan kept mum.

Thomas mocked, “I have no idea what the hell you're trying to say. If there's nothing else, I'd suggest that you release me right now.”

Arnold snickered at his demand. “You severely injured our butler. Don't expect to walk out of here alive today.

“However, I can promise you this. If you're willing to answer my questions truthfully, I will grant you a quick and painless death.

“You know, in some cases, a quick and painless death may even be too much to ask for.”

Stumped, Thomas's face fell.

Ivan's face turned ghastly pale. Both of us were abducted here. If an excruciating death awaits Thomas, I don't suppose that I'm going to be far behind him.

Gritting his teeth, Thomas bellowed at Arnold, “You're nothing more than the dog of the Davier family! Just kill me if you wish to see me dead. If I even mutter a sound, you're more than welcome to label me as a coward.”

Arnold grinned. “No rush.” “Before killing you, I'm going to need you to clarify something for me.”

“Penny Smith has a mysterious bodyguard that goes by the name Bay Cross. Who is he, actually?”

Even though there was no discernible change in their expressions, their hearts were actually thumping wildly in their chests.

They were thinking the exact same thing. So they're really after the General. The Davier family is already suspecting that Bay is in fact the General.

Arnold's eyes darted from Thomas to Ivan, and then back on Thomas again. Nonchalantly, he asked, “Who is going to answer my question, gentlemen?”

Ivan spoke first. “I do not know the man. I met him only once when I was on a blind date with Kylie Tonkins. Mr. Davier, you've got the wrong guy. Please let me go."

“So both of you are not willing to disclose it? Fine!”

Arnold then summoned Finlay.

The latter knew what he should do. He took out a sharp dagger and smiled sinisterly as he made his way toward Thomas. In a swift motion, he stabbed the man's thigh.

In just a split second, Thomas flinched from the excruciating pain.

However, he did not make a sound.

Finlay was surprised by the man's tough attitude. He snickered and turned the dagger gradually, attempting to prolong the man's agony.

Thomas widened his bloodied eyes. The acute pain twisted his face as he gushed with sweat.

Still, the man did not relent and kept mum.

Finlay retracted the dagger from Thomas's thigh. At the sight of his bloody thigh, Finlay said admiringly, “The North Army is famed for its ruggedness. Even though you're retired from the army, you still have the rigor in you.”
