Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 924

The SWAT members leaped into action at Zed's order.

Some of Tom's men tried to resist, but a good smack from the butt of a gun cowed them. Handcuffs were slapped onto their wrists and they were dragged away.

Within moments, all of them had been captured, including Tom himself.

Huge beads of sweat dripped down Tom's pale face.

Never would he have expected the Channing police to still arrest him even after knowing his identity.

"You have guts! The last chief of police who tried to arrest me, Dean Zannis, was forced into early retirement and he was sent back to his home in the countryside. The same fate awaits you; you'll see!" he spat at Zed hatefully.

Zed was not as meek as Dean.

He scoffed at the restrained Tom, saying, "Heh! That most definitely won't happen to me. You're involved in a scam of three-hundred billion and publicly beat up a group of security guards from Cross Group. You also tried to murder one of Channing's biggest entrepreneurs. The worst-case scenario for you would be a death sentence. At the very least, you would be sentenced to life imprisonment and labor reformation."

Tom growled, "You'd dare!"

Snorting, Zed ordered, "Take them away!"

Immediately, the SWAT teams whisked Tom and his men away.

Zed made his way over to Nathan and Penny, uttering politely, "Mr. Cross, President Smith, sorry you had to go through that.”

Nathan shot him a smile as he replied, "It's fine. You got here just in time to capture those criminals, Zed. Good job."

Zed did not fail to notice how Nathan addressed him by name instead of Captain Walker.

Elated and honored at how the General was treating him so familiarly, a wide smile spread across his face.

She was still in shock from the earlier events. "Nathan, luckily you'd arrived here in time. I shudder to think of what might've happened otherwise."

"I was informed the moment they beat up the security guards. I tried to get here as quick as I could,” he comforted.

She could not help but ask, "Why were they here for you?"

He did not withhold anything from her as he told her about his grudge with Tom Barton.

When he was finished speaking, she was furious. "What an atrocious man! Not only did he steal our donations and cause Mayor Panz to kill himself, but rather he'd also tried to snatch the Liver Cancer Special Meds Project from us! Hubby, I support you! You have to ensure that the police would punish him for his crimes!"

"I got this, Honey. Leave it to me," he responded with a grin.
