Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 26

Most of the residents moved out of Asiatic Village in the next two days.

Cross Corporation was also set to begin the demolition process around this time.

However, something was off as soon as the demolition team arrived.

More than thirty vicious-looking men popped out and surrounded the team with weapons.

Their intention was crystal clear. Without any warning, they destroyed the excavators, trucks and even injured many workers.

When they were done, those gangsters declared, "As the residents of Asiatic Village, we refuse to move until we're happy with our compensation. Whoever dares tearing down the buildings will be our next victim.”

Penny was apprehensive when she heard the news.

She knew for a fact that almost all of the residents had signed their agreements.

The few who did not manage to make it back in town had also given their verbal consent and agreed to the terms of compensation.

So why are these people showing up out of the blue?

Nathan appeared unflustered, "Sounds to me someone is purposely making a scene. Let's go check it out."

Penny had never encountered a tension this difficult. She figured that Nathan could come in handy in a violent conflict. Furthermore, having him by her side helped with her peace of mind.

They came to Asiatic Village's entrance to see eight excavators and more than ten trucks torn into pieces. Broken parts covered the ground, leaving the vehicles nothing but their frames.

Smoking and chatting away, the gangsters lounged around casually in the scatters of automotive parts.

Their leader was a yellow-haired man named Dogbreath. He was Novem Dragon's right-hand man.

The way those workers hid in a corner gave Dogbreath an ego-boost, not to mention the crowd they have attracted and the awe on everyone's faces.
