Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1836

A few hours later, it was daybreak.

One of the two bodyguards awoke in a daze.

Lifting his head, he felt lost scanning his surroundings. Suddenly, he recalled that a doctor had asked them for directions. When he was about to answer, the doctor covered his mouth and everything went black.

He quickly checked on his partner whom he realized was still unconscious.

“Dino, wake up!”

Dino gradually opened his dreamy eyes and asked, “Bronco, what time is it? Why am I asleep?”

Just as he spoke, Dino remembered what happened. He jumped out of his seat and exclaimed, “That doctor, he ambushed us!”

Filled with dread, Bronco quipped, “Quick, check on Mr. Goldstein!”

As both of them barged into the ward frantically, they were dumbfounded by what they saw.

Leaser lay pale in his bed as his body had lost all color. He had been dead for a long time.

Blood had drenched the side of the bed while the bedpan on the floor was overflowing with it.

Bronco fell onto his knees. With an ashen

expression, he lamented, “We... we're finished!”

Dino stuttered, “Call... call Ms. Goldstein to inform her and also Mr. Davier...”

Daybreak.

The news of Ceaser being assassinated in the hospital spread throughout Brimmopolis.

Everyone was talking about it and speculating who it was that did it.

Within the upper echelons, it was common knowledge that the Goldstein family had hired Maldragon for a failed assassination attempt against Nathan.

No one had expected something to happen to Ceaser within such a short period of the failed assassination on Nathan.

Therefore, it was the consensus that both these incidents were linked.

Naturally, everyone assumed that the Goldstein family had infuriated Nathan, who then sent men to kill Ceaser.

Inside the Red Hotel.

Nathan and Penny were having breakfast when Colin hurriedly reported the matter to him.

Nathan couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows in response.

“What did you say? Ceaser was assassinated in the hospital last night?”

Colin smiled wryly. “That's correct. In fact, the killer killed him in a gruesome manner.”

“The assassin injected him with anesthetic so that his brain was still conscious when he bled to death. I surmised he wanted Ceaser to die in despair.”

Nathan and Penny exchanged glances.

Attend Ceaser's funeral?

Colin scowled, “How dare you speak so rudely to the General?”

Bobbi glared at Nathan coldly, “Are you afraid to come because you feel guilty?”

Colin almost broke a vessel at those words.

However, Nathan raised his hand to stop Colin. He replied, “Very well, tell the Goldstein family and Mr. Davier that I will be there tomorrow.”

Bobbi replied indifferently, “Alright. We will be

expecting you, General.”

With that, he stormed out with his men.

Colin couldn't help but whisper to Nathan, “General, it's obvious the Goldstein family thinks you're the culprit and may be setting a trap for you at the funeral. Why did you agree to attend?”

Nathan replied, “If I didn't, they will think that I'm skipping it because of my guilt.”

“I'll drop by tomorrow. It would be great if I can make the Goldstein family and Mr. Davier realize that someone is trying to sow discord between US.

“If they still insist that I am the culprit and hold me accountable, I will have no choice but to deal with them. After all, the animosity between us runs so deep that one more incident is not going

to make a difference.”

Colin acknowledged, “Understood. In that case, I'll go ahead and make the necessary preparations.”
