Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 326

Carl watched as the men supporting Nathan began to quake. A sneer curled his lips as he taunted, "Scared? What if I'd asked you to pick a side again? What would you choose?"

Everyone else focused their attention on Zachary and his group. They believed that the group would change their minds now, with the threat of death hanging over their heads.

To their surprise, Zachary and the rest bowed their heads and muttered, "Mr. Russo, sir, we still choose to side with Mr. Cross!”

The silence was so absolute even a needle dropping could be heard.

Carl had obviously not expected this. He had thought that by giving them another chance, they would smartly choose to stand with him.

Yet, they still insisted on siding with Nathan.

What a slap in the face that was!

Immediately, a murderous aura emanated from him. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees, causing everyone to shrink away from him.

Carl slowly stalked over to Zachary. He abruptly lifted his hand, which had the latter shuddering and nearly falling over in fear.

Fortunately, the hand only moved to straighten Zachary's collar and swipe at his shoulders. A malicious smirk twisted Carl's mouth as he uttered, "Don't be scared. I didn't kill Dunn earlier, so I won't kill you all now either. However, I can guarantee nothing after you step out of these doors. You'd better watch out!"

White as a sheet, Zachary murmured his goodbyes and fled, the rest of his group following.

The neutral parties like Jerry Mcgrady and Russell Crow also came over to make their excuses.

Carl eyed the mayor of Channing, Russell Crow, and mused meaningfully, "I can understand that you've chosen to be neutral, due to your position. However, when the ripples of unrest spread through Channing eventually, I hope that the mayor can still remain neutral.”

Russell exchanged glances with the other leaders of Channing city. Just as pointedly, he replied, "Rest assured, we won't interfere in this matter between you and Nathan Cross.”

"That's wonderful. Yoel, please escort the mayor to the doors!” Carl brimmed with satisfaction.

That night, Yoel and the Eighteen Hounds each led a group of elites and rampaged across Channing, leaving bloodshed and carnage in their wake.

Revenge was enacted upon the group of men that had declared their support of Nathan earlier.

Zachary Schulz and Howard Ortiz's bodyguards had all been killed. Zachary himself had had both legs broken while Howard was beaten into a coma and hospitalized.

Thomas' men had also suffered heavy casualties, with nineteen dead and more than a dozen in the hospital.

Actually, Yoel had initially planned on killing Thomas, Penny, Queenie, Leah, and Benson. Basically everyone around Nathan.

However, Thomas had been prepared for his arrival and had once more evaded death.

Meanwhile, Penny and the rest had had guards secretly protecting them. None of the assassins Yoel had sent had returned.
