Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 990

"Are you done prattling?" Nathan asked mildly.

William's speeding thoughts screeched to a sputtering stop.

Dumbfounded would be a generous term for what William was feeling currently. He was flabbergasted.

Nathan's voice turned cold. "So what if you're the crown prince of Eagleland? Even if you were the King of Eagleland, I'd still make you kneel before me."

Nathan was not one for empty threats.

Lightning-quick, his foot snapped forwards in a blindingly fast kick aimed directly at William's groin.

The impact was not loud, but it was bruising and fatal, especially to the precious royal jewels. William whimpered over his cracked eggs.

His eyes bulged and his mouth fell open. Even as he covered his groin, William's face twisted in pain and he howled loudly.

The agonized shout had barely left his lips when Nathan's palm landed with unerring accuracy on the crook of his neck.

William abruptly fell silent as he lost consciousness.

Nathan did not feel any remorse for his actions. He already hated William enough just for how he lusted after Penny, but what truly made his blood boil was how William had struck a deal with the Volk military forces to capture Penny and Grace. He had caused more than enough grief for all of them.

And that was why Nathan struck without mercy or second thought. Castrating William would ensure that he could never abuse a woman ever again.

Nathan crouched over the unconscious body of one of the Volk prison guards, taking a gun from him and concealing it in his suit jacket. Hauling Jackie to his feet roughly, Nathan held the warden hostage as he led Penny and Grace out of the prison cell.

His voice was as cool as ever as he addressed Jackie, "If you don't want to die, no tricks."

Looking vaguely incensed, Jackie agreed hurriedly, "Of course, of course.”

Nathan reverted his voice to a deceptively mild tone. "Good. Now put on a more natural expression and get going.”

Soon, Jackie had led Nathan, along with Penny and Grace, out of the dark depths of the prison.

Jackie was the undisputed king of this prison, so to say, and his underlings were well aware of the fact. His absolute authority was unquestioned. Even as they passed numerous patrolling Volk prison guards on the way out, none of them dared to approach Jackie to question him on why he was bringing Penny and Grace out of the prison despite their suspicions.

Soon enough, Jackie had led Nathan, Penny, and Grace to the very entrance of the prison.

Obviously enough, the bulk of the prison's formidable defenses were concentrated here. The prison guards patrolling the entrance alone numbered in the hundreds!

The gunshots stopped. Silence soon descended across the battlefield. When the smoke finally cleared, the metallic tang of blood permeated the air.

All of Jackie's hundreds of prison guards, including the ones manning the machine guns on the wall, had fallen.

Even as the fallen soldiers lay groaning in pools of their own blood, it was evident that almost all of them had suffered the same injury—their right arm had been shot to a bloody mess by Colin and his allies.

Hands clammy, Jackie surveyed the aftermath of the battle with a terrified look on his face. His voice was trembling. "You dare... you dare..."

"I warned you, no tricks," Nathan said coldly. "Maybe if you had listened, not all of your underlings would have to be injured like this."

Jackie opened his mouth in outrage, but Colin cut him off with the simple means of stepping forwards and slamming the butt of his gun into his temple.

Blood splattered everywhere. Jackie toppled backward. He was out cold before he even hit the ground.

In the distance, the prison's alarms began to blare loudly, signaling an emergency.

"We're done here," Nathan said calmly. "Get in the car and retreat!"
