Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1026

Peyton was dumbfounded.

He finally snapped out of it after a long while and exclaimed, "I went to visit Geronimo Louie yesterday. He revealed that the General of the North would be coming to celebrate his birthday. The fact that there were jets escorting the plane and the city has been sealed off means the General is here!"

The subordinate was taken aback. "So it means Master Adam and the others have been captured by the army because they offended the General. What should we do now, Master Peyton?"

Tve heard that the General enjoys playing Go and his skills are impeccable. Hurry up and bring my precious Go manual over to Geronimo Louie's residence. Tell them it's my gift to the General. Also, tell the General that I'll be attending Louie's birthday celebration in the afternoon, and I will apologize to him personally." "Yes, Sir!

Meanwhile, Nathan, Colin, and Kylie had arrived at Geronimo Louie's residence.

The old general was already seventy years old, but he still looked fit and healthy.

Dressed in black clothes and shoes, he invited Nathan and the others to his study room.

Geronimo gazed at Nathan with relief and said, "You really were the best candidate to take over the role as General of the North, Nathan. With the North under your watch, many of our nation's enemies no longer dare to covet our lands, nor do they have the guts to set foot here."

"You flatter me, General Louie," Nathan replied modestly. "The borders are peaceful because we have countless warriors defending them. It's a combined effort, and I shall not take credit for this.”

Geronimo chuckled. "Heh, you're actually being humble. That's a rare sight. You used to be so flashy, but look at how reserved you are now!"

Tve heard it all," Nathan said with a smile. "You used to say I was all show and no substance."

"You were the one who said that, not me. But now, you seem more steady and sophisticated. I've got a better impression of you already." Geronimo laughed heartily.

At this moment, a subordinate suddenly came over to report, "Sir, the Black clan has sent someone to deliver an antique Go manual. According to him, it's for the General of the North."
