Salute To The General

Chapter 31 Where Nathan Cross Came From

Dan Hugh raised his right hand to get his subordinates to quieten down.

Then, he turned around to face Nathan Cross and his pale-faced companions. "You want to fight?” He

asked, lips curved upwards into a nasty grin. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathan Cross returned his smile. "You sure?"

Dan Hugh was about to say something snarky but was cut off by the sound of sirens in the distance.

Soon, several anti-hijacking vehicles carrying the elite members of the police force arrived at the scene,

sirens blaring.

As Dan Hugh and his subordinates watched with widened eyes, the police surrounded them with their

vehicles, leaving no room to escape.

An army of black-clad paramilitary personnel swiftly emerged from their vehicles, each of them carrying

submachine guns.

Within seconds, Dan Hugh and his forces were completely engulfed by the paramilitary personnel.

As everyone watched in awe, a colonel strode to Nathan Cross and saluted smartly, "Senior Officer

Colin Dunne of the Dragonfury Special Forces reporting for duty, Sir. We have a thousand elite fighters

ready for operation."

Nathan Cross looked at Dan Hugh and company, who were completely frozen in fear. "Let's fight!" He

yelled.

One thousand elite fighters faced the gangsters and hollered in unison, "Let's fight!"

Clank!

The metal bar in a gangster's hand fell onto the floor with a loud clatter. He raised his hand and

admitted in a trembling voice, "I surrender..."

Clank, clank, clank...

The gangsters began to toss their weapons away like they were burning hot, before raising their hands

in a collective show of defeat.

Clank!!

The machete in the Nine Tattoo Dragon's hand fell to the floor as well. With fear in his eyes, he raised

his hands as well, admitting defeat together with his subordinates.

He had a terrifying presence in the underground of Channing.

He could make someone evaporate off the face of the earth if he had wanted to.

Yet, when faced with a fully equipped elite force, he was helpless.

He might have just wet his pants from being held at gunpoint, let alone from fighting.

The latter would mean certain death.

Not only were Dan Hugh and his gangsters in a state of shock, Penny Smith and the others from Cross

Corporation could not help but stare with their mouths agape.

Bob Hoffman and his workers looked at Nathan Cross as they tried to guess his backstory.

How did he get the senior officers of the elite forces to answer to his command?

Penny Smith had gotten mentally stronger after taking part in the operation to save her daughter, and

she figured that Nathan Cross must have gotten the help of the old chief.

She felt that Nathan Cross was really lucky to retain the fondness of the old chief even after leaving the

armed forces.

Seeing that Dan Hugh had surrendered, Nathan Cross glared at him. "What do you mean by this?

Weren't you asking for a fight just now?"

Dan Hugh forced himself to speak, "I'm sorry, I underestimated you. Just let me go, I'm begging you! I'll

compensate you in full, Sir.”

Piak!

Nathan Cross slapped Dan Hugh across the face just as he finished his sentence. It was such a robust

slap that two teeth fell out of his mouth, his cheeks swelling like dough left to rise.

Nathan Cross scoffed and said, "How about those lives of ordinary people that you've ruined? I can't

believe you're actually askingme for mercy now."
