Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 517

Hearing this, the crowd exploded into wild shrieks of amazement.

Such aggression!

Not only did Nathan dare go against the Schulz family, but he had also overwhelmed them with his impressive bid.

Bart's face reddened instantly. Veins popped out in his neck as he thought hard about whether he should bid even higher without holding back.

Haruto spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Schulz, the price is too high. Don't bid further."

Miyamoto too said slowly, "He's right. Just let that man buy this 'Safe and Sound' work by Wang Xizhi. When we leave later, I'll get it from him."

When he heard their words, Bart gazed at Haruto and Miyamoto in disbelief.

A few moments later, joy crossed his face.

Haruto and Miyamoto's intentions were clear. They had decided to kill Nathan after leaving the auction and steal the 'Safe and Sound' work from him. Bart did not need to waste any more money.

Bart's anger subsided, and he did not raise his bid.

He gazed at Nathan with a sneer on his face. You brat. I'll let you flaunt for a bit. When we leave later, you'll die at the hands of the Sword God of Japan.

Nathan had his reasons for making such a high bid.

Other than his promise to Dr. Rothschild of buying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy work as a gift, he also knew that Bart intended to buy the work to give it to Haruto or Miyamoto as a gift.

Nathan did not want such a treasure to be taken to another country, so he decided to go against Bart and stop him from doing so by buying the 'Safe and Sound' work.

After a short while, the work was handed over to Dr. Rothschild.

Dr. Rothschild's hands trembled with excitement. He shook his head vehemently and said, "This is way too expensive and precious for me to have! Mr. Cross, I think you should keep it for yourself!"

Nathan laughed. 'Tm just a warrior. I don't know much about it to appreciate it well. Besides, our bond runs deep. Previously I was under your care for a long time, and I have yet to return you the favor. Please accept this work and keep it as a token of my appreciation."

Dr. Rothschild was the director of the North Army General Hospital and also Nathan's attending doctor.

Their car was parked a short distance from the restaurant's entrance.

But Dr. Rothschild who was holding the treasured work and the others did not dare brave the rain.

Nathan noticed a black umbrella by the door and picked it up. "All of you, stay here and wait for me to drive the car over."

He then went out into the rain holding the umbrella.

But he hadn't gone too far before stopping in his tracks.

There was someone standing in the rain!

It was a thin, old man wearing a piece of samurai clothing. He was standing in the downpour. On his feet were a pair of wooden clogs while a long katana hung off his waist.

It was the Sword God of Japan, Miyamoto Ichiro.
