Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 55

Although this was not the first time Penny and Bob had seen Nathan in action, they still found themselves surprised at his prowess.

Approaching her husband, Penny asked in concern, "Nathan, are you alright?"

Nathan smiled as he replied, "Little upstarts like them can't possibly hurt me."

Bob spoke up, "Boss, Mr. Cross, what do we do now?"

Nathan was quick to answer, "Call the police again and have them come to deal with these troublemakers. Also, contact the drivers at the construction site and ask them to drive these trucks away. Everything will proceed like normal."

"Yes, sir!"

After that, Penny and Nathan got back in their car and headed towards the park at Mount Blanc to pick up the rest of their family.

As they arrived back home, Benson and

Leah volunteered to cook a delicious feast for everyone.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Penny went to open the door, only to find several stern-looking men dressed in police uniforms standing on the doorstep.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a serious look on his face as he asked, "Are you Ms. Penny Smith?"

Shocked, Penny subconsciously answered, "Yes, I am. What's happening?"

Flushing at how offensive her words had sounded, she shook her head. "That's not what I meant. They..."

Harold cut her off, "They're innocent. They were only protesting your trucks that were using and destroying their roads. Your husband, on the other hand, deliberately injured them. I'd brought the both of you here to investigate this matter.”

Just then, Carl swaggered over, a hand clasped to his badly injured face. His eyes were smug and hateful as he stared at Nathan. "You little shit! How dare you beat us up? Do you have a death wish?"

Turning to Harold, he continued, "Vicecaptain Lee, this couple attacked thirty of my men. I'm demanding at least one million for each man they'd injured as compensation."

Immediately furious and astounded at the audacity of the man, Penny shouted, "What? You guys purposely stirred up

trouble first, but now you're demanding thirty million from us? Why should we pay you!”
