Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 316

Phil threatened, "If you refuse, I'll let you know that I have my ways of dealing with you."

With that being said, he glanced at Penny and the others who had just walked out of the house. Sneering, he continued, "For example, I can viciously beat you up, right in front of your wife. I'll allow her to see just how pitiful you are when you're crawling on the floor like a dog."

"In addition to that, the fact that you've killed Fabian Howard still remains. Although it was out of self-defense, you did not have to actually kill him. I know people in the military and the police. One phone call from me and you'll be arrested. That's at least twenty years in prison for you."

Nathan's eyes narrowed at the other man's words. "So, you hail from an influential family? It's no surprise that you're full of arrogance."

Phil smirked smugly, announcing, "The police captain of the Investigation Unit is Zed Walker, my uncle. My father, Xander

Jones, is the new colonel of Channing's Military Unit. Now, I'm giving you two options. One, you fight with me, and if you lose, you leave Ms. Smith's side. The other option is me calling the authority on you for your crimes.”

Nathan's tone was indifferent as he responded, "I'll do the calling around here.”

He pulled out his phone and dialed Colin's number. "I want Zed Walker, Xander Jones, and Franklin Wilson at my house in ten minutes."

Phil and the rest of his group were surprised at first. Then, they burst into laughter.

Yancy was laughing so hard that there were tears in his eyes. He spoke to Phil, "Phil, he's pretty good at acting, isn't he? He's even pretended to call someone, ordering your Uncle, Colonel Jones and Major-General Wilson to arrive here in ten minutes!"

Phil had a mocking look on his face as he replied, "What a braggart and a liar! He may have killed someone at the Dragon Palace Hotel, but I'm sure that he'd be so scared that he'd wet his pants if my uncle were to come, to arrest him."

Once more, the men laughed uproariously.

Ignoring them, Nathan turned to Penny and the rest of the family. "Penn, Kylie, why don't you two bring Mum, Dad, and Queenie back into the house? I can handle things here."

Penny's beautiful face was creased with worry and she was clearly hesitant to leave. "But..."

Nathan chuckled, "What, don't you trust me?"

She hurriedly answered, "Of course I trust you! But they..."

"It's fine. I'll deal with this bunch of clowns," he reassured, with a smile upon his face.

Nathan's words had Phil and the men gritting their teeth in anger, as they itched to get their hands on him.

Kylie, who knew Nathan's true identity, was confident in his ability to handle them. She advised Penny, "Penny, come on. Let Nathan deal with them. We should take Queenie back inside. You don't want her to see them fight, right?"

While Phil was relentless in his attacks, never staying still for more than a fraction of a second, Nathan's movements were relaxed and leisurely, as though he was taking a stroll through the park.

He was even commenting as he avoided each move, "Not bad, but not particularly amazing either. Your speed is still too slow and the explosive force behind each attack is slightly lacking. I'm not sure what there is, to be proud of."

Up until the present, Phil had not been able to touch Nathan's clothes, let alone the man himself.

Beginning to get angry and frustrated, he snarled, "I dare you to stop dodging and to actually fight back!"

"Fine!"

In the next instance, Nathan became a blur as he raced toward Phil.

At the sidelines, Yancy and the rest could only stare with their eyes wide in disbelief. They all had one thought in common,what terrifying speed!

For Phil, all it took was the blink of an eye before Nathan had appeared before him.

Before he could defend himself, the other man had already lifted up his hand, bringing it down, hard.
