Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 107

Penny's cheeks flushed as she stuttered, "l-l..."

The saleswoman pulled out a beautiful umbrella swiftly as she was worried that Penny would give up on buying the watches. She smiled as she introduced, "If you buy the watches now, we can gift you this limited-edition umbrella. This black umbrella was handcrafted by some of the finest makers in the world; the manufacturing cost alone is ten thousand per piece. Although there's no way it can compare to a Rolls-Royce umbrella that costs one hundred thousand, the quality is still very high.”

Unable to withstand the salesperson's persuasion, she bought the watches, her face was red with embarrassment. She really liked the male watch and wanted to give it to Nathan.

After paying the bill, Nathan took the umbrella as Penny carried the bag with the watches. Then, they left the store together.

He had a slight smirk of amusement on his face while she was still blushing.

Why did I buy that couple set? Great, this jerk is going to tease me nonstop now!

The two of them continued down the corridor heading toward the elevator to meet the others on the ninth floor.

Suddenly, Nathan halted all movement.

Penny stared curiously at him, wondering what was going on.

Before she could say anything, she realized a well-built man with a shaved head had appeared in the middle of the corridor. Behind him were a group of men in black suits, all with one hand shoved underneath their suit jacket. From the shape of the bulges, she could tell they were holding knives.

Are they assassins?

The blood drained from her face thinking of that.

In contrast, Nathan seemed exceedingly calm as he said, "Don't be afraid. Close your eyes and follow me slowly."

His words comforted her and she shut her eyes obediently. She followed his sedate pace forward while grabbing a corner of his shirt.

The bald guy was Gunther, Kenneth Logan's right hand man.

Gunther narrowed his eyes at Nathan's movement. With a cold smile on his face, he waved his hand at his men. "Kill him!"
