Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 23

Lily tilted her head up and crossed her arms with a smug look on her face.

This was Mason's territory. It was a known fact that he ruled this place.

No one had ever defied Mason here.

Nathan's lips curled. He studied Mason and Lily as if he was amused, "People kneel to me, not the other way around. Who are you to make me do it?”

When Lily told them about Mason's identity earlier, she had misread Nathan's facial expression.

Therefore, they did not expect Nathan's disdainful tone.

Mason was used to domineering others and expected to be awed. He coldly ordered, "Perhaps you need a push.

Guards, teach him how to kneel."

Several towering husky guards approached Nathan-"-Don't you dare!" The guards were rooted to the ground. Everyone stopped and turned to the entrance.

A middle-aged man with a receding hairline entered in a wheelchair. Besides having a man in a suit push him, he was also escorted by an entourage.

Lily had just met Mason not long ago. Despite having heard all about Derek, Lily had never seen him.

She was ready to relish the moment when the guards could torment Nathan.

To her dismay, it was paused before it could happen.

Worked up, Lily yelled, "You stupid cripple. This is none of your business!”

Smack!

Lily took a slap on her face.

Covering her cheek, Lily looked at Mason in disbelief and stupefaction.

He was not alone. The emotion was mutual among the staff.

Mason covered his cheek as his eyes widened, "Dad... you hit me..."

"So what if I did? You brainless, shameless brat!"

Derek was beyond livid. He reached to the side of the wheelchair for a walking stick and started attacking his son with it.

Mason was caught off guard by Derek's sudden outburst. His skin was bruised, and blood seeped out.

After a while, Gina and the guards finally recovered from their shock, rushing towards Derek, "Please calm down. You're killing him!"

Derek was unwilling to listen, "Stay away! I'd rather kill him myself than have Mr.

Cross get his hands dirty."
