Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 340

Meanwhile, Phoenix, the pharmaceutical factory which Cross Group invested in, was still under construction. They were set out to produce a vaccine for liver cancer.

As the bulldozers drove in and out of the construction site, the workers worked hard under the sun.

Penny - the president of Cross Group, Benson - the pharmaceutical factory's manager, and other executives were inspecting the site.

She was listening to the head of the construction team's report while asking her executives to prepare cold drinks for the workers in the hot weather. At the same time, she was also arranging for them to receive an extra allowance.

Benson and the others nodded, agreeing to carry out her orders.

Penny continued inspecting the site with the others. Suddenly, she noticed some men standing not far away who weren't wearing safety helmets, pointing fingers at the site.

Frowning, she questioned, "Who are those men? Why aren't they wearing safety helmets? What if an accident happens onsite?"

The executives shook their heads as they didn't know who those men were. They were not from Cross Group or the construction team.

Benson exclaimed, "I think that's Mr. Ponzi!"

"Mr. Ponzi? Who's that?" Penny was curious.

Benson couldn't hide his excitement. "He's the famous fortune-teller who's appeared in various TV shows, Phineas Ponzi!"

"I've heard many celebrities requested him to tell their fortunes. He's skilled in astrology and numerology."

Penny didn't believe that at all hocus pocus stuff since she was more of a science person herself. So she furrowed her brows and said, "He's just a con-man, not a fortune teller."

She had barely finished her words when Phineas walked over with his two apprentices.

He parted his lips and uttered, "You must be the executives of Cross Group. I'm glad you're here. I'm Phineas Ponzi, a fortune teller. I specialize in astrology and numerology."

A flash of delight appeared in Phineas' eyes. He maintained his composure and told Penny, "Well, I don't want to say it, but... I told you so."

Penny was about to retort when Phineas added, "I know you'll say it's normal for workers to suffer from heatstroke in

summer, but do you think three workers fainting at the same time is a normal occurrence?”

"Besides, this is just the start. If your construction site remains open, something worse than a heatstroke will happen soon."

Benson and the other executives turned deathly pale at his words. They hurriedly inquired, "Mr. Phineas, what will happen if we don't stop the construction work?"

Phineas snorted, "I've said something bad will happen. That means more than one man will die if you don't stop soon."

His words left everyone in shock.
