Salute To The General



Nathan glanced at the injured men on the floor before ordering Colin, "Have our men send them back to Ariarica's embassy." "Roger!" Colin responded.

Judging by Chief Cross' actions, I guess it's safe to assume he won't give in to

Ariarica's demands. Looks like there might be hope for our companies, after all!

Chance thought to himself as he watched on from the side.

Nathan then turned toward Chance and said, "Mr. Lucas is still in the process of negotiating with Ariarica. Until the results are out, I need you all to have faith in our country. Do not do anything rash that could jeopardize everything."

"Understood, Mr. Cross!" Chance and the others replied in unison.

Nathan then waved at them and dismissed them all. "All right, that will be all for now. Head back and wait for further updates. I believe we will have everything settled in a few days."

Just like that, Chance and the other businessmen all said goodbye and left the scene.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of this. Cross Group will be fine," Nathan reassured Penny.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Penny nodded gently. "Yeah, I believe in you!"

"I won't be dining at home tonight. Tell Queenie I'll bring her out for some fun once I'm done with things here!” Nathan said with a smile.

Penny's eyes went wide with surprise. "But you've only just come back, Hubby! Are you heading out again?"

"Mr. Lucas is still negotiating with Jessica as we speak, and Ariarica has mobilized its carrier battle group to assert dominance over us. They teamed up with various other countries to carry out training exercises just outside our borders, so I need to go back Mr. Lucas up and give him a little confidence boost."

"Hubby, are you going to have your soldiers carry out training exercises too?" Penny asked in shock.

Nathan chuckled. "Yup! We won't be fighting alone, though. Our allies will also lend us a hand in the training exercises. It'll be all over the news, so all you have to do is sit back and watch me defend the businesses in our country!"

Penny nodded and leaned forward to give Nathan a quick peck on the cheek.

"Whatever you do, please be careful out there. Make sure to come back alive, okay?" she whispered in his ear.

"All right, I promise."

With that, Nathan left Cross Group with Colin and had him drive them to Southern Fleet's headquarters.

By the time Nathan arrived three hours later, the tens of thousands of naval soldiers had already assembled.

Eurasia's latest aircraft carrier, the

EU South, along with countless

corvettes, destroyers, and

submarines could soon be seen

outside the country's port.

Zach, the commander-in-chief of the South Army, looked especially dazzling as he stood there dressed in his uniform.

"Chief Cross is here!" shouted one of the soldiers.

A convoy soon came into view outside the Southern Fleet headquarters.

The car leading the way was a sedan, and it had dozens of Jeeps following behind in a straight line.

After the convoy came to a halt,

Sage got out of the car and opened the door for Nathan, who emerged from his car wearing a phoenix military coat and Leviathan mask.

Colin, the Elite Eight, and soldiers from Felidae Battalion too, got out of their cars and walked alongside him.

All of the soldiers present stood in two lines and saluted Nathan in unison.

"Welcome, Chief Cross!"

Nathan glanced around him before raising his hand to salute them in response.

Zach then came running forward with his men and greeted Nathan excitedly, "Hello, Chief Cross!"

"Thanks for the hard work, Admiral Hill," Nathan said while shaking his hand.

After that, he took turns greeting and shaking hands with all the naval generals present, much to their delight.

Nathan flashed Zach a smile as he asked, “Admiral Hill, are the soldiers ready?"

Instead of replying to his question,

Zach simply turned around and shouted at the soldiers in the

distance, "Chief Cross asks ifyou are ready!"

"We are ready to engage in war at immediate notice! Our victory is very much secured!" the tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
