Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 248

After Professor Jenson and Penny signed the agreement, the liver cancer vaccine was officially handed over to Cross Pharmaceuticals.

When that was done, she went on stage to give a speech expressing her gratitude for the professor's trust. She promised to do her very best to benefit society with this vaccine and even welcomed the experts in the medical field to keep an eye on her.

From below stage, Nathan stared at Penny with a smile playing on his lips. He loved seeing her smiling like that. It made her whole face light up and she looked ten years younger. She looked radiant and beautiful, like an angel upon Earth.

Colin, who had silently appeared by his side, whispered, "Sir, Ma'am looks really happy."

Nathan murmured back, "She and Queenie have been through so much these past few years. I want her to be as happy as she is now for the rest of her life."

Changing the subject, Colin reported, "I just received news that Kingston Zabinski has summoned all the Zabinski family followers to gather in Channing. They're here to get revenge for what you did to Jerry.”

"Revenge?" Nathan queried casually.

"Yes. The Zabinski family has sworn to kill your entire family."

Nathan's face instantly darkened at the mention of his family. "Brazen, pretentious fools. The one month's time I gave them to retreat is nearly up. Since they insist on throwing their lives away, I'll oblige them. Let them suffer the consequences of their actions."

"Sir, I have something else to report."

"Speak!"

"It's to do with Franklin Wilson. His team is having an award ceremony tomorrow for their lieutenant colonels and he hope that you can attend. He says his team idolizes you and has always wanted to meet you in person. If you have the time to attend the ceremony, I'm sure the troops would feel honored and encouraged."

“Of course I'll support Franklin. He's from the North Army, which makes him one of us. Besides, no matter the division, lieutenant colonels will always be the mainstay of the military. Tell him I'll be there," said Nathan.

A wide grin spread across Colin's face. "Hahaha! When Franklin hears about this, he'll definitely be over the moon.”

He immediately refused, saying, "You can't come to this function; it's not suitable for you.”

That only served to deepen Kylie's curiosity. Just what is this mysterious function?

Noting how he seemed determined not to let her go with him, her eyes moved upward as she pondered. Several seconds later, a sly smirk curled her lips. "If you don't take me with you, I'll grow bored at home.”

Eyeing her a little warily, he prodded, "And?"

"And if I grow bored, I might just talk to Aunt Leah. If by accident I spill out all your secrets, do you think they'll be shocked?"

Nathan's face hardened. "Are you threatening me?"
