Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1254

"I can't believe it's really you, Penny. It's been five or six years since we last met, right?"

Penny was stunned when she saw the man who was dressed in full military uniform and bore the insignia of the Major General. It took quite a while for her to recognize him. "Oh, you are Neelan Coleman from college!"

Neelan, who was wearing the Major General uniform, said while smiling, "Looks like this Ms. Smith still remembers me. It's an honor to be remembered by such a pretty lady."

Penny smiled. Then, she noticed Neelan's epaulette. "Mr. Coleman, it's only been a few years since we last met. Not only did you join the military, but you've also become a commanding officer now?" Penny could not suppress her curiosity.

Neelan laughed, "I am only a Major General now, a general with the least rights. It's not worth bringing up.”

Penny had always been respectful towards soldiers. She said immediately, "A Major General is also a general, and to be a commanding officer is an impressive feat. Neelan Coleman, you really are a young and promising man. All our classmates are going to be proud of you!”

Neelan laughed, "I am only carrying out my duty by serving the public."

Penny felt that Neelan had changed a lot over the years.

During their time in college, Neelan was well-known for being a rascal. He would borrow money from some of his classmates and fail to pay it back. He even committed petty theft and fraud.

Penny was overwhelmed by Neelan's drastic change. She chuckled, "You are indeed a commanding officer now. You've matured a lot in terms of personality and your depth of thinking."

"Oh, right! Why did you come here? Are you on duty?"

Neelan shook his head and laughed, "No, I am here just to meet you."

Penny was confused. "You came here just to see me?"

Neelan grinned, "Yes. Remember how I borrowed money from some of my classmates years ago? I couldn't afford food at that time and borrowed two hundred from you. I haven't had the chance to return it to you until now.”

Penny giggled, "I have completely forgotten about that.”

Neelan said loudly, "I have always kept this on my mind, even when I was in the military. I wanted to return the favor and repay your kindness."

"Not long ago, I heard that the goods in your company had been frequently robbed by pirates, and they even went to your company to extort money."

"After knowing this, I got help from the marine military to exterminate the pirates from Odysseus."

Both Penny and Kylie widened their eyes.

Penny asked him in shock, "What? The pirates were wiped out because of you? And you did it for my sake?"
