Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 695

A short while later, Michael's birthday celebration began.

After only two glasses of wine, Nathan and his entourage bid farewell and left the banquet.

Zayn, on the other hand, was in no rush to leave. He could hold his drinks well, so he stayed on and continued drinking with Zach and the rest.

Meanwhile, Michael went back to his room early to rest given his advanced age.

By then, most of the guests had left. The only ones remaining were Zach and a few other drinkers. Many of them drank until they passed out on the table.

The only ones who weren't drunk at the main table were Zayn and Zach.

Zach laughed and said, "I don't ever drink when I'm in the army, but today is a holiday and it's also my father's birthday.

Moreover, we have friends and relatives from afar who have come specially to celebrate with my family. I feel exceptionally happy today, and it's been a long time since I've drunk this much."

Zayn was also rather tipsy but still self-aware at this point. "Haha, it's an honor to be able to drink with you, General Hill. I won't ever forget this moment," he said while laughing.

Zach smiled and replied, "Haha, what's so great about drinking with me? Your family is way more prominent in society!"

Speaking of prominence, Zach was actually referring to Nathan, whom he deemed to be the glory of the Cross Family.

However, Zayn didn't get the reference as he thought Zach was simply being polite.

Without giving it much thought, Zayn casually changed the topic and said, "Oh right, General Hill, I wanted to ask you something. Are you close with that young fellow Nathan who came to wish your father earlier?"

Zach laughed and said in a casual tone,

"Well, we're just friends!"

Zayn was secretly happy when he heard this, thinking that Nathan and Zach weren't that close.

He got into the Rolls-Royce and instructed the driver, "Drive back to my villa so I can have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow I will seek revenge on that bastard. I thought he has connections in the army, but luckily it turned out to be a false alarm."

Back in the study of the Hill family home, Zach was completely sober.

He wiped his face with a hot towel while asking the Captain of the National Guards, "Has Zayn left?"

The captain answered respectfully, "Yes, he has left. Sir, Zayn is obviously here to seek revenge on Nathan. Should we help?"

Zach laughed and said, "It's just a small matter. Nathan wouldn't need our help."

"Besides, this is his own family affairs. Let him work things out with his father by himself. As outsiders, we shouldn't interfere. Please inform the leaders of the South that no matter how messy things get for Zayn and Nathan, no one should get involved," he added.

The captain answered in a mellow voice, "Yes, sir!"
