Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1980

Rax was stunned to hear those words.

Huh? Nathan wants to spare my life?

Immediately, he kowtowed to Nathan repeatedly and choked, “Thank you, General. I am grateful for your benevolence and willingness to give the Goldstein family another chance.”

In that situation, he could not describe his feelings in words. After all, Nathan could kill him and destroy his family with a snap of his fingers. Yet, he chose not to do anything.

Rax was thoroughly convinced by Nathan at that moment.

However, Nathan hissed, “Don't get your hopes high. If you do not persuade the Goldstein family to retreat as per my request, I will look for you again to settle our scores. Also, has Franklin told you who I am already?”

Nathan glanced at Franklin, who was standing beside him.

Stressed, Franklin started to sweat profusely.

Although Nathan had warned him not to divulge his secret, Franklin told Rax about it. He thought since the latter was about to die, there was no harm in letting Rax know so he could rest in peace.

Unexpectedly, Nathan changed his mind and decided to spare Rax's life.

This placed Franklin in an awkward position.

I will never commit such a careless mistake again.

Softly, Rax whispered, “Yes, General Wilson told

me about your true identity.”

Shooting him a death glare, Nathan ordered, “Forget about what he said. If you tell anyone anything about it, you and the Goldstein family will die in my hands.”

Alarmed, Rax quickly swore, “General, I promise that I will never utter a word about it.”

“Take your men with you and scram!” Nathan demanded.

“Yes, General!”

“While that may be true, it seemed like someone activated the troops from the Channing military district for him. Nathan had only managed to defeat the Goldstein Army because Franklin ordered his men to assist the former.”

Clifford roared, “Franklin! How dare he meddle in it?”

“Franklin used to serve the North Army. He was

Nathan's subordinate and received much of his help. Even so, I did not expect him to call upon his men to help Nathan. I can't believe he risked offending the Goldstein family and you, and even violated the law to help Nathan,” Spook added.

Clifford scoffed, “He is ruining his own future.”

As if that was not enough to make Clifford's blood pressure rise, Spook continued, “There is one more thing about it. The Goldstein family seems to fear Nathan now. Rax decided to sell off his business, and he announced that his family's business would close down. He also swore that in the next thirty years, they would not engage in their own business, politics, or military service.”

Widening his eyes in disbelief, Clifford remarked, “Did Nathan brainwash Rax? I thought he merely got defeated by Nathan. Was it necessary to go into hiding because of fear?” “I guess he has lost his dominance after living in seclusion in the mountains for over twenty years. All of this makes him look like a terrified mouse.” Spook commented.

Clifford nodded. “Well, it looks like I have to kill

Nathan myself.”
