Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1243

Soon, a fleet of police cars arrived with their sirens wailing.

Along with a dozen of policemen, Zed alighted from the police car and rushed over to Nathan's side. He asked anxiously, "Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith, is everything fine?"

Penny replied, "Mr. Walker, thank God you're here! These men are pirates who tried to harm us. My husband was only trying to protect us..."

Actually, Penny was afraid Zed would misperceive Nathan as a murderer and take him into custody. Therefore, she tried to explain the situation to Zed immediately.

However, Zed interrupted Penny before she could finish her sentence. "Ms. Smith, we are aware of the fact that they are a bunch of pirates affiliated with those from Demon's Lair. We have been keeping an eye on them all this while. In fact, our snipers cooperated with Mr. Cross to take out the pirates. Thankfully, we manage to save Ms. Hampton in the nick of time." "Wow! The snipers that have saved Frida are part of the police force? That's awesome!" Penny was surprised.

Zed replied with a smile and assured Penny, "That's right! Well, Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith, we shall take over from here. You may leave now."

"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Walker." Nathan replied politely with a smile.

With that, he got into his ride and departed with Penny, Leah, Benson, and the rest of his party.

Colin, who had been hiding behind the scene, showed up the moment Nathan departed.

"Hello, sir!" Zed saluted politely.

In return, Colin nodded and instructed, "Get rid of the pirates' corpses discreetly. Do not announce the outcome of the operation because we don't want to alarm our foes."

Zed looked at Colin in disbelief because he couldn't fathom the rationale behind his instruction. Hence, Colin explained, "The bunch of pirates has offended Mr. Cross. Thus, he has made up his mind to get rid of those affiliated with Demon's Lair within a week."

The moment Zed figured out Nathan's plan, he couldn't believe his ears because the pirates from Demon's Lair were a capable bunch.

They had always gone rampant at the borders of their country. Their leader, Odysseus, or Mr. Blackwood as everyone call him, was the leader of the Seven Kings of Demon's Lair. In short, he had a total of more than a thousand subordinates.

Not to mention Odysseus was a cunning man. Whenever a country tried to take him into custody, he would take cover in another country. Hence, no one had ever gotten the best of him thus far.

However, now that the outlaw had offended the General of the North, perhaps he would be doomed soon.
