Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 687

Penny Smith and Kylie Tonkins, together with over two hundred businessmen who attended the cocktail party on the cruise, were standing on the deck waiting to be rescued by the warships.

Much to their surprise, they saw Gladius being brought out to the deck by the military to be gunned down.

It caused a commotion at the scene, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Some cheered in rejoice while others hurled curses at him.

Penny Smith knew that Gladius Cross would be captured by the military and given a hefty punishment, but it had never crossed her mind that he would be executed instantaneously on the spot.

It went to show that the military meant business.

She felt slightly anxious and started looking around for Nathan Cross.

Nathan Cross and Colin Dunne were asked to stay back for some questioning with

Major-General Wilson.

Feeling worried, Penny Smith wondered if Major-General Wilson would make things difficult for Nathan Cross.

Then, she saw Nathan Cross, Franklin Wilson, Colin Dunne, and the rest of the people walking up to her slowly.

"Darling!" Penny Smith let out a happy squeal.

She dashed towards Nathan Cross and threw her arms around him.

"Nathan!" Kylie Tonkins called out to him as well.

Nathan Cross hugged Penny Smith and stroke her hair gently as he comforted her, "It's all right, don't worry, the ringleader has been executed. As for the rest of the gang, they have been arrested and they will be given a harsher sentence."

Nathan Cross smiled and asked, "Do you still remember that Gladius Cross had thrown those businessmen into the sea, while Colin Dunne later threw in the lifebuoys to save them?”

Penny Smith nodded her head and affirmed, "Yes, of course. I'd even shouted at Gladius for being so inhumane."

Nathan Cross chuckled and explained, "Well, it just so happened that Major-General Wilson and his team were undergoing their daily training nearby, meaning that they'd discovered those businessmen in the waters. Thus, they pulled them out."

Looking startled, Penny Smith asked, "So when Major-General Wilson came to know about Gladius' evil doings and found out that the people on the cruise were in danger, he brought his men to the ship to rescue us?"

Nathan nodded and chirped, "Yes, that's right!"

Penny Smith let out a sigh and proclaimed, "Well, it looks like Gladius has finally reaped what he had sowed. Crime truly does not pay!"
