Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 548

Barry and Denise arrived in front of Cloud Palace in the Axis of Channing with their mercenaries as well as the Smiths. Before they could enter the restaurant, however, their path was blocked by Thomas.

Barry did indeed have a hundred people with him, but so did Thomas.

"A good dog knows how to stay out of the way! Get Nathan out here," Barry smiled coldly.

"Mr. Cross is having lunch with his family. No one is allowed to disturb them. Please leave,” Thomas snorted.

Barry was one of the most influential people in the East. Not a single soul in the East's underworld would ignore his order.

And yet, his words were brushed aside in Channing, as if they meant nothing.

It sparked fury in Barry's heart.

"Death it is, then," Barry sneered and ordered his men, "kill him."

"Yes, Sir!" one of the mercenaries, Landon, replied.

Landon was one of Barry's most trusted subordinates. He was a Goliath of a man that even his large suit appeared small on him.

Landon paced forward and threw a punch toward Thomas's head.

Thomas grunted and nimbly moved sideways to avoid the punch. At the same time, he swiped his leg up high.

With a loudbang, Thomas landed his kick precisely on Landon's head, causing Landon to spit out blood and collapse.

Barry and his gang had never expected Thomas to be so good a fighter, to the point where he could knock down a professionally-trained mercenary with one hit.

Of course, along with surprise, what Barry felt more of was anger.

"Not bad. That's why you dare to act all high and mighty, but you're still nothing to me." Barry said disdainfully.

"And here I thought he's going to hide until everything settles down!" Barry snorted. "At least he has the balls to face me. If he were to continue being such a chicken, I wouldn't mind taking down all of you and tearing this place apart just to find him."

Thomas stared at Barry furiously while Colin calmly jeered, "You? Dream on!"

"You are the first person ever to be so rude to me. I'll remember you!" Barry scolded.

Colin only smiled, clearly suggesting that Barry posed no threat to him, and this angered Barry even more.

After hearing that Nathan wanted to meet the Jacksons, Thomas finally allowed the latter into the restaurant.

As Barry entered the restaurant, they realized that there were no other customers.

Apparently, Thomas had quickly chased all other customers away when he learned that Nathan and the Smiths would head over to his restaurant for lunch.

Nathan, Penny, Queenie, and the rest were enjoying their meal at the centermost table of the restaurant.
