Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 298

Carl Russo bowed his head lower and replied, "Please don't put it that way. I've heard rumors that Mr. Turner had decided to spare Nathan Cross' life, but Shannon insisted on killing him. As such, Mr. Turner had ordered Franklin Wilson to execute my daughter as a punishment for her. The purpose of my visit today is just to find out whether those rumors are true.”

"What if the rumors were true then? And I was the one who asked Franklin Wilson to end your daughter's life. What would you do?" Dip Turner asked.

Carl Russo fell on his knees at once and said, "My daughter had gone against Mr. Turner's wishes, and for that, she had gotten what she deserved. I have no objections."

Seeing that Carl Russo was willing to humble himself in such a manner despite his daughter's passing, Dip Turner eased up and said, "I did agree to spare Nathan Cross' life, but I didn't say that Shannon was not allowed to seek revenge on him. I had no intentions of punishing Shannon, and it wasn't me who ordered Franklin

Wilson to execute her. But I can't be sure if the Major-General did that on his own accord to please me."

After hearing Dip Turner's account, Carl Russo lifted his head and replied, "That's what I thought too. If Mr. Turner wanted to punish my daughter, all you had to do was to instruct me to do it. There was no need for Franklin Wilson to be involved at all."

"Franklin Wilson is a rising star in the military in these two years. I've also heard that he's a follower of the General of the North Army. If you are intending to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy," Dip Turner said.

Indeed, Carl Russo did not have the nerves to mess with Franklin Wilson. However, now that both his son and daughter were dead, he had to take it out on someone and avenge his children.

Since it was not possible for Franklin Wilson to be that someone, Nathan Cross was the only option left.

In Carl Russo's opinion, Nathan Cross was the main culprit behind his children's deaths. As such, he was the number one enemy of the Russo family.

Carl Russo replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Turner, I won't make things difficult for Mr. Wilson. But Nathan Cross, who's the instigator, has to die."

Mr. Turner's smile grew broader as he listened to Carl Russo. However, he dismissed the man's words and said, "Even though you are my protege, I can't just reap the rewards without having any contribution. I have a suggestion. You can deal with Nathan Cross and avenge your children in any way you want and I won't interfere with it. As for Penny Smith and the agency's rights to the vaccine, we can leave it to Joseph Queen. That guy sure has a way with women."

Right after Dip Turner finished talking, a slim-built man with dashing good looks strolled into the study gracefully. He was Joseph Queen, who Dip Turner had just mentioned.

Joseph was Dip Turner's godson. He was incredibly attractive and was a smooth talker. In fact, his forte was to sweet-talk women. As such, he had earned himself the nickname 'Don Juan'.

Joseph Queen gave a respectful bow to Dip Turner once he entered the room, before flashing a smile at Carl Russo. "Mr. Russo, you can focus on dealing with Nathan Cross and I'll handle Penny Smith. I guarantee that she'll be so smitten with me that she won't be able to think about anything else other than being pinned under me. Naturally, I will be able to make her hand over the rights to the vaccine willingly," the man said.

Dip Turner laughed heartily and said, "Joseph and Carl, I shall wait for the good news from both of you then. Don't you let me down?"
