Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1841

On that day itself, Corey's body was returned to the Lucas family.

When Rayne saw her son's body, she collapsed into a puddle of tears.

Remaining expressionless, Zion maintained a frosty gaze. Anyone could see that he was feeling both angry and devastated.

The captain of his National Guards, Jan Lucas, asked softly, “Sir, Ma'am, I offer my condolences. But, I need your instructions for the funeral.”

Zion replied coldly, “Just keep it simple.”

Jan acknowledged, “Yes, I understand. I'll be right on it.”

The Lucas family themselves knew that Corey's death was likely connected to the Davier family.

Moreover, they were well aware of how Corey had offended them.

Since they were the ones that started it, the Lucas family tried not to show their outrage.

Furthermore, as the election was looming, Zion remained one of the leading contenders.

Therefore, the Lucas family intended to keep the funeral simple so as to not raise a furor.

In fact, no one else other than the closest family members were informed of the death.

Corey's funeral was held in a funeral home.

Many guests arrived to pay their respects despite not being officially notified.

Those that couldn't make it sent funeral wreaths to express their condolences.

Zion together with Rayne and other members of the family received the guests who had arrived to pay their respects.

Rayne had cried her eyes out and was utterly exhausted from it.

Zion, hardened from many of life's trials and tribulations, maintained his composure despite his grief.

He quietly asked Jan who was standing beside him, “Did Nathan come?”

Jan replied immediately, “No he didn't, but he sent a wreath to express his condolences.”

After pondering in silence, Zion remarked, “The General is a real gentleman after all.”

When Zion first found out that Nathan supported Garrett instead of him, he was angered by it.

But, he didn't expect Nathan to still pay his respects by sending a wreath despite Corey's repeated attempts to do him harm.

He couldn't help but lament over the situation.

When everyone present saw the old man, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

Mr. Davier!

Clifford had arrived.

Not only were the guests in awe, but Zion also looked on in disbelief.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

After paying his respects, Clifford snuck a glance at Corey's body with a glint in his eye.

After that, he approached Zion with his men behind him, and greeted calmly, “Mr. Lucas, I

offer my condolences.”

Zion replied, “Thank you for your concern.”

Clifford added, “No thanks needed. We are just looking out for each other.”

Everyone present exchanged glances as it was obvious that Clifford was insinuating something.
