Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 135

The Forsts gave him a happy smile, though Eddy Forst was not agreeable with the idea. "Thank you so much for the offer, Nate," he said.

"However, we can't accept it. It would be a lot of trouble for you."

Nathan Cross opened his mouth to insist, but was cut off by Eddy Forst before he could even say a word. "Listen, boy. We will probably struggle a lot to get used to life in the city."

"Besides, the villagers have been discussing about moving to Quinzy City after the demolition. We can still keep in touch with each other that way."

Nathan Cross went silent for a moment before saying, "That's not a bad plan too. The weather in Quinzy is really good weather and is suitable for retirement."

'Til visit you both whenever I have the time. By the way, here are Colin and Thomas' contact numbers in case you can't reach me if something happens."

That night, Nathan Cross and his men left and went back to Channing.

The next day, in the study room of the Zabinski manor...

Kingston Zabinski, who was dressed in a drab cloth shirt and shoes, put down the mantra in his hand and looked up at his son standing before him. "I heard that Jackson went to assassinate Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn last night with three hundred men. Any updates?"

Finley Zabinski panicked. "Dad, he..."

Kingston Zabinski grew impatient. "Why are you stuttering? Spit it out!"

Finley Zabinski had no choice but to speak the truth. "Jackson Quelch and his three hundred men had disappeared."

"Nonsense! There's three hundred of them, and they're gone just like that? What about their bodies?" Kingston Zabinski yelled in anguish.

Finley Zabinski scowled. "They disappeared without a trace. I mobilized a lot of our own manpower to search for them, but they're gone for good."

Kingston Zabinski struggled to calm himself down. "What in the world is going on?"

"However, I manage to get some valuable information from the villagers in Springlake Village," Finley Zabinski offered.

"Just tell me!" Kingston Zabinski ordered.

"Apparently, a large group of gangsters were taken away by the military last night including their leader Baron."

"What's that got to do with Jackson disappearing?" Kingston Zabinski asked as he frowned.
