Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 249

Kylie gave a throaty chuckle as she replied in an innocent tone, "Of course not. I'm just feeling really bored today. Take me to the function with you!”

The two of them had a stare down, neither of them was willing to back down.

To Nathan's great frustration, the woman was not afraid of him at all.

Finally, he relented, "Fine, you asked for it. Don't come crying to me when you regret your decision."

The man's words had her a little anxious, but her curiosity got the better of her. With false bravado, she said, "I'm not afraid. It's not like you're a bad person."

Nathan was not sure whether to laugh or cry at the woman's declaration.

Leaving the house, they got in the old Volkswagen Polo.

The moment the car left the Riverside Garden neighborhood, two vehicles immediately followed behind it from afar.

One was an unassuming motorcycle while the other was a Lexus.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Nathan noted the two vehicles stalking them. His lips pulled into a smirk.

Noticing the amused look on his face, Kylie asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Somebody's following us. Two different factions too," he answered lightly.

In a panicked tone, she questioned, "Who is it? Is it the Zabinski family and the Russo family here for revenge?"

"It's possible. Are you scared? Do you want me to drop you off at the crossroads up ahead?"

Kylie's heart pounded in her chest furiously as adrenaline pumped through her body. She was nervous, but at the same time, she felt that this was rather exciting. Shaking her head, she refused, "No. With you around, I'm not afraid of anything."

Nathan smiled wryly. Who knew this sisterin-law of his trusted him so much?

At Mt. Nova Hot Springs.

The hall was crammed near to bursting with more than three thousand men. These men were all from the Southern underworld, the various bosses and thugs. With so many violent men gathered together in such close quarters, the atmosphere around them was understandably tense and charged.

Just as the tense rumblings grew to a roar, Finley Zabinski appeared with several of his men.

"Big Boss is here!”

The entire hall burst into loud cheers and shouts before gradually quietening. All the eyes in the room focused on Finley.

In an arrogant tone, he boomed, "I've gotten news that Cross has entered an abandoned factory out in the countryside. To me, men! We shall capture him and all of you shall get a chance at him. I want him to die a horrible, agonizing death!"

Three thousand voices roared out in agreement, "Yes, sir!"

With that, the men piled into their vehicles and the massive convoy charged towards the countryside, all with only one destination in mind.
