Salute To The General

Chapter 2849



With its mottled walls that were covered in vines and the cobwebs that could be seen hanging everywhere, Black Swan Castle was a terrifying sight to behold.

From the castle's windows, candlelight could be seen flickering inside, and the sound of a piano could be heard coming out from one of the rooms intermittently.

Creak!

Nathan raised his hand and pushed open the iron fence gate.

After that, he walked into the place unhurriedly, almost as if he was simply taking a stroll in his own backyard.

All was quiet.

However, Nathan could feel that countless eyes were watching him from the dark.

Regardless, he remained as calm as ever as he strode across the courtyard before pushing open the door of the castle and walking inside to the hall. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Figures could be seen flickering in and out behind Nathan.

The next moment, a dozen men in tuxedos appeared behind him.

The door to the castle was shut with a bang, closing off Nathan's escape route.

Inside the ancient-looking yet elegantly decorated hall, Antonio was sitting in front of a piano, his expression one of intoxication as he played the instrument, fully immersed in his own music-filled world.

Standing next to him were Gianna and Kaiser.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Not far away, Ava could be seen tied to a chair. Her right hand was stained with blood as a needle was stuck inside a vein in her arm. Blood was dripping down from her arm and into a wine container.

When Nathan's eyes fell on Ava, his gaze went cold.

Antonio stopped playing the piano and raised his head to look at Nathan. Smirking, he applauded. "Haha, just as I expected, you actually came alone, Mr. Cross! I guess I wasn't wrong about you. You are indeed a loyal man! Even though your life must be more precious than your subordinate's, you couldn't stand to see her die. You still came to save her! You have earned my respect for this."

Nathan uttered coldly, "But you don't have mine. On the contrary, I despise you. Now that you have successfully pissed me off, I hope you're ready for the consequences."

Antonio scoffed. "My, my, aren't you

a confident one, Mr. Cross. Too bad, your opponent is me. Since I had the gall to lure you here, it means that I have full faith in my ability to take you down." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Meanwhile, Aya was now in a semiconscious state as she lay slumped on the chair. Her mind and awareness had been clouded by the excessive blood loss. In her dazed state, she could vaguely hear Nathan's voice. Her eyelids fluttered, and she opened her eyes, looking ahead blankly. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

As she was weakened and her mind was fogged up, she was seeing double. Everything looked hazy and like an illusion to her.

It took her a while to start seeing things clearly, and when she did, she realized that the tall man standing before her was none other than Nathan.

At first, she thought she was hallucinating due to losing too much blood. However, after making sure for the umpteenth time, she was finally certain that what she was seeing was real.

I can't believe Nathan turned a deaf ear to my warning and actually took the risk of coming to save me alone!

For a moment, Ava was feeling both enraged and touched.

She wrinkled her nose as tears sprang to her eyes.

A plethora of emotions washed over her. She first felt worried for Nathan, but then, she was furious over his actions. However, within her rollercoaster of emotions, there was also a trace of happiness.

She murmured softly in tears, "You

idiot. You're the Chief Military Governor and the president of Eurasia. So how could you act so foolishly? You knew full well that this was a trap, that I was the bait to lure you here, and yet, you still came. What a stupid man. How did a smart woman like me end up being employed by a stupid man like you?" Content belongs to

Looking as indifferent as ever, Nathan said, “You? Taking me down? I doubt you're qualified to do that, you bunch of worthless trash.”

Upon saying that, he walked toward Ava, planning to help stop her bleeding.

A smile tugged at Antonio's lips, and he glanced at the vampires surrounding Nathan.

The vampires were all normal vampires that he called over to serve as assistance using his viscount status.

The moment Antonio's gaze fell on them, the vampires knew what to do at once.

They tightened their circle of vampires that were surrounding Nathan, effectively blocking his way

to Ava.
