Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 293

With the firing of a gunshot, Shannon Russo collapsed on the ground, ending her short life that was filled with sins.

"As for the other accomplices, send them to the military prison and make them reform through labor," Franklin Wilson ordered.

"Yes, Sir!"

As always, bad news traveled fast.

Very quickly, news about Shannon Russo's death had spread around the city.

Everyone had a different version of stories about what had happened.

One of the more widely circulated versions of the story was that the former wealthiest man of Channing, Howard Ortiz, had asked Mr. Turner for a favor to spare Nathan Cross's life, which Mr. Turner had acceded to. However Shannon Russo had gone against Mr. Turner and insisted on killing Nathan Cross, and that angered Mr. Turner. There were serious consequences to bear for provoking Mr. Turner. In order to punish Shannon Russo, Mr. Turner had sought out Franklin Wilson to take the woman's life. That also served as a warning for the rest of the people to never be on Mr. Turner's bad side.

Meanwhile, at the Smith family mansion, Sean Smith and the rest of his family members were also engaged in a discussion on this topic.

"Well, so it turned out that this matter has nothing to do with that a*shole Nathan Cross at all! We should have known very well that there's no way that d*ckhead could be so formidable," Samuel Smith couldn't stop grumbling and cursing.

"Exactly! If it wasn't for Howard Ortiz, who used up the favor which Mr. Turner owed him for Nathan Cross; that fella would already be lying in his grave now," Paul agreed with his eldest brother.

Sean Smith let out a cold snort and said, "It was silly of us to have thought so highly of Nathan Cross. As it turned out, it was sheer luck that he managed to survive this time around. But it's a pity that we lost the red ruby necklace. If only we had known earlier that Shannon Russo would come to such a tragic end, we shouldn't have given such a treasure to her."

May nodded and said, "That's right. We didn't even manage to gain any benefits at all. It was such a flash in the pan. However, it was also a false alarm for us regarding Nathan.”

At the same time, at the Riverside Garden, Benson Smith and Leah were admiring the red ruby necklace which they had lost and recovered. They were both full of praises for their son-in-law for keeping his word and getting the necklace back.

Penny Smith, who had just ended a phone call, walked over and said to her family, "Many of our friends have called to ask about our safety, and I've gotten some updates from them."

Nathan blinked and asked, "What updates?"

"They said that Shannon Russo had upset Mr. Turner, and that had engaged Mr.

Penny wanted to check out the gyms and observe how the people do exercises. She wished to find out if working out at the gym was enough to keep a good figure.

Even though it was only 10 a.m., there were already many keen gym-goers who were training on various different gym equipment. Some even had personal trainers guiding them along.

However, Nathan Cross had noticed that those personal trainers were only attending to the women.

Moreover, those male trainers were obviously having their ways with them.

But the female trainees did not seem to have realized. Either that or they just did not mind.

There was no way Nathan Cross would allow his wife to enroll in a gym like that.

Just when Nathan was about to go off with Penny, a burly figure, wearing a white singlet, exercise shorts and a pair of branded sport shoes, approached them. He looked like a trainer at the fitness center.
