Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 417

Leah glanced at Nathan and started to admire her son-in-law even more.

She had a proud expression that said, My son-in-law is great!

Meanwhile, Penny stared at Nathan in shock.

Nathan turned around and asked with a smile, "Why are you staring at me?"

Penny whispered, "Tell me the truth. Why is Major-General Wilson so in awe of you? Also, why are people like Cilan Hunt inviting you to dinner?"

They were both whispering to each other, but Benson, Leah, Butch, and the others could hearthem.

All of them perked their ears up and awaited Nathan's explanation.

Nathan lied naturally as he breathed, "It's simple. When I was in the North Army, I was under Major-General Wilson's charge. I risked my life to save him once, so he treats me especially well. As for Mr. Hunt and the others, they treat me with respect on Major-General Wilson's account.”

As he said this, he turned to Franklin. "Isn't that right, Major-General Wilson?"

Franklin and the others knew Nathan's identity, but they also knew that he liked to remain low-key.

Naturally, they understood what he meant and nodded.

Penny's family finally understood the situation.

Leah, who did not usually drink, offered Franklin a toast. She said gratefully, "I've heard Nathan tell me that he's saved an officer before. He even told me that the officer cares about him a lot, and has saved us from a lot of trouble. That officer was General Wilson, right? Let me thank you on my family's behalf!"

Franklin hurriedly responded, "It's nothing, really!" I may be a lot older than Nathan, and I may be a major-general, but I!

Franklin suggested, "In that case, let's just take him down by force. I'll send a few tens of thousands of soldiers to take him down!"

Nathan shook his head, "Turner used to be the governor of the South. He has a lot of connections there. After working hard for two decades, his sons and men have already taken control of the majority of the South's profitable businesses. If we take him on so suddenly, we'll cause an economic downturn in the South. A few days back, Patrick Ward has already requested to meet me. He is alright with getting rid of Turner, but he thinks we should do this slowly. This way, we can get rid of Turner without causing a recession.”

Franklin understood Nathan's intentions and knew that he had decided to get rid of Turner slowly.

To date, Nathan had not revealed his status as a general or used any extreme methods.

All he did was patiently whittle down Dip Turner's men, killing people like Terrence Ortiz and Zucker Johnson, just like how one chopped off the branches of a large tree before aiming for the trunk.

Dip Turner was like a frog in boiling water. By the time he reacted to it, he would be a goner.

Franklin replied, "Since you already have a plan, General, I will follow your instructions."
