Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1238

Several days later, in Channing at the South.

It was a weekend, so Nathan and his family dined in at a seafood restaurant that was famous for its large variety of delicious seafood instead of eating at home.

Nathan ordered a steamed Humphead wrasse, prawns, crabs and clam chowder, and all of them enjoyed the food happily.

Everyone was in a good mood except Penny, who was staring at the seafood with a grim expression.

Nathan sensed her gloominess and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Penny gave him a rueful smile and told him honestly, "Quite a few of our cargo ships to Darius have been hijacked and robbed by pirates one after another. They stole many goods from us, and we suffered a heavy loss."

Nathan furrowed his brows. "Can't we ask for compensation from the shipping

company?"

Penny let out a sigh before saying, "The shipping company suffered great losses too. They lost their ships, and the pirates killed all the crews on board. If we claim compensation from the company, we'll have to file a lawsuit. It will take a long time to settle the case. Both our company and the shipping company are the victims in this case."

"We will only be adding insult to injury if we sue the shipping company and demand compensation. I don't think we should do this," Penny said defeatedly.

Benson, Leah, Kylie and even the five-year-old Queenie couldn't help but angrily curse the pirates for being so evil.

Nathan's brows furrowed together. "What an arrogant pirate. Pirates usually don't dare to rob any cargo ship with our national flag. Why did they rob our cargo ships?"

Penny shrugged. "I asked the shipping company about it, and they said that the pirates of Demon's Lair did it. Odysseus is the head of Demon's Lair, also known as Mr. Blackwood. He's extremely vicious; he leaves no one alive every time he robs a ship."

Mr. Blackwood?

How dare a pirate address himself as Mr. Blackwood?
