Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1045

Reuben widened his eyes. "Morris, do you mean it?”

Morris placidly said, "We have to avenge Gregory. After we kill Nathan and Penny, the only one left in the Cross family will be their daughter, Queenie. We as distant relatives of the Cross clan will claim guardianship for Queenie. That way, the Cross Group will be ours."

Upon hearing his brother's plot, Reuben excitedly replied, "What a great plan! It's simple and effective."

Morris instructed, "I'll leave this to you. But remember, it's best for you to look for an outsider to kill Nathan and Penny. If the public found out that we are the ones who killed the Cross couple, it'll be difficult for us to secure Queenie's guardianship."

Reuben grinned. "Understood.”

Over at Cross Group, the employees were overjoyed when they heard that Q.Than had been approved by the FDA.

Furthermore, Penny had given everyone a three-day leave and a raise in return for their hard work.

As they had three days free, Nathan, Penny, Kylie, Queenie, Benson, and Leah all went for a trip.

Their destination was the West.

They took a flight to Johnstone City before driving to the tourist town of Honeyrock Valley.

It took them hours of driving through deserted lands before reaching the town.

Honeyrock Valley was a scenic location, a paradise in the desolate West.

There were many ancient infrastructures, including temples.

As Leah was a devout Buddhist, she would pray at every temple she came across. Hence, the group's first destination upon arriving at Honeyrock Valley was the temple.

A smiling monk welcomed them when they entered.

"Are you here to pray?”

Leah answered, "Yes!"

The monk then swiftly offered Nathan and the rest three sticks of incense and asked them to light their incense.

Only then did Nathan and the rest notice the Buddha that was enshrined in this temple was Yab-yum.

The statue depicted a man and a woman hugging while barely clothed.

After they offered their incense, the monk asked with a smile, "Alright. Now that we're done offering incense, it'll be 300 for one person and 1800 in total.”

Penny and her family widened their eyes, and Leah exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive? How can you charge 300 for one incense stick? How can you possibly ask us for 1800 in total? You're just robbing us!”
