Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 686

Gladius stared at Nathan Cross in disbelief. He seemed to have forgotten the pain on his face. He murmured, "There's no way that you are the Chief, no way, no way..."

Who would believe that Nathan Cross was the Chief? He looked so young. Nonetheless, Major-General Wilson had saluted Nathan Cross!

Major-General Wilson gave his salute to Nathan Cross with full respect, addressing him as the Chief, which could only mean that Nathan Cross was someone of high authority.

At that moment, it became clear to Gladius why Nathan Cross had remained fully calm, even after he had gotten ridiculed by Gladius a few days ago. Instead, Nathan Cross had said these words, "For as long as I live, you will never be able to outmatch me.

Soon, Gladius finally understood why Nathan Cross appeared to be so confident, even as he was being confronted by Gladius' subordinates.

Everything seemed clear to him now, which also explained why Colin Dunne, the bodyguard of Nathan Cross, was such a sharpshooter.

It had all boiled down to one reason... Nathan Cross was a big shot in the military!

In a calm tone, Nathan Cross spoke to Gladius who had gloominess written all over his face, "Whether you were born out of wedlock a long time ago, or whether you are the master of the Cross Family now, it hadn't mattered to me at all.”

"Even when you'd arrived in Channing a couple of days ago to disrupt my life, I still kept my cool."

"Unfortunately, your actions today have crossed the line. Go ahead and say your last words, I will convey them to the Cross Family."

Fear clouded Gladius' eyes as he trembled in terror. "You want to kill me? You can't do that..." he pleaded with a quavering voice.

Upon hearing that, Nathan Cross reached out for a glass of champagne on the table, took a sip, smiled, and asked, "Why can't I?"

Gladius was tempted to threaten Nathan Cross, saying that the Cross Family would not go easy on Nathan if Nathan had killed him.

However, on second thought, he felt that this could not be used against Nathan Cross due to his current status.

Hence, he changed his mind and blurted out, "Aren't you the Chief now? You are a military man, so aren't you supposed to protect the country and ordinary people such as myself?”

Then he turned to Franklin Wilson and announced, "Major-General Wilson, you are in charge of the operation today, so I will leave it to you to decide on his fate."

Without much hesitation, Franklin Wilson pointed at Gladius Cross and ordered his men to single him out for execution. Then, he told his men to arrest the rest of the gang.

"No, no, don't kill me, I don't want to die!" Gladius Cross screamed in despair, his body shaking violently.

The men wasted no time and dragged

Gladius out. Not long after that, a gunshot was fired.

Gladius Cross was dead!
