Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 900

Shooting a glance at his brother, Lucas picked up the contract and skimmed through it.

When he finished, he couldn't help but show his surprise.

Fletcher and the others were willing to give Lucas one percent of the dividends from the profits of the Western Chamber of Commerce. It would also be an annual contribution going forward.

The Western Chamber of Commerce had long monopolized all businesses in the West.

The combined profits from all the businessmen amounted to more than one trillion. Therefore, one percent of that was already ten billion.

To pay ten billion annually to Lucas was a huge amount of money.

Fletcher's plan wasn't just to get Lucas to help deal with Nathan; it was also to secure his own political support going forward.

Chucking the documents back onto the table, Lucas sneered at all of them. "Are you trying to bribe me?"

Fletcher quickly replied, "Of course not. The dividends belong to your brother as they will be transferred to his account."

Prior to this, Fletcher and the others had preempted this issue. They knew that General Ziegler might not directly accept such a large sum of money.

However, by paying the bribe to Neil, it would be less conspicuous and reduce the risk of any trouble for the General.

Meanwhile, Lucas scoffed to himself at how corrupt they were to even have considered this.

Maintaining an indifferent expression, he asked, "So what do you need my help for?"

Fletcher and the others were delighted to hear Lucas's response. At that moment they all shared the same thought: we've got him!

With that, Fletcher explained the feud they had with Nathan, including twisting many facts to suit their purposes. They made Nathan sound like a bully who acted with impunity just because he had strong political support.

After Fletcher was done exaggerating, he even managed to squeeze out some tears as he lamented, "General, Nathan has his eyes on our businesses and plans to destroy the Western Chamber of Commerce so that he can take over those businesses."

"He even demanded that the three of us slit our own throats and that our families go into exile."

"Now, no one else can help us other than you!"

However, Lucas remained expressionless, and no one could tell what he was feeling.

He then calmly replied, "I understand your problem. Tomorrow, I will invite Nathan here and all of you should join us."

When Fletcher and the others heard what Lucas said, they assumed that he had agreed to help them deal with Nathan.

"The armies of the North and the West have always been at loggerheads with each other."

"Therefore, on our trip to their headquarters tomorrow, we have to be careful not to lose our reputation."

Colin acknowledged, "Yes, Sir!”

"By the way, I forgot I still have something to report."

Nathan replied, "What is it?"

Colin continued, "Sir, one of the Three Tigers under your command, Heptakill, recently went back to his hometown to get married. Today, he happened to pass by Johnstone City."

"Somehow, Heptakill found out that you are here and wants to see you."

Fang, Destroyer, and Heptakill! They were Nathan's Three Tigers.

When Nathan heard that Heptakill was coming to see him, he grinned. "Haha, what a coincidence! He came at the right time. Get him to stay another two days so that he can accompany me to the West Army headquarters. We will have a good time sparring with Lucas!"
