Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 137

The next day, Nathan Cross and Penny Smith returned home from the office to find Benson and Leah Smith waiting for them.

Benson Smith immediately spoke up the moment he saw them enter the house. "You came back at the right time. There's something we need to discuss with both of you."

"What's wrong?" Penny Smith asked as Nathan Cross looked on curiously.

"Do you still remember your second grand uncle?" Benson Smith asked.

Penny Smith nodded. "Of course, he's the younger brother of Grandpa. I heard that he had been working at the Northern Grand Council. Grandpa adores him too."

"He hasn't come back for a visit for more than a decade now, and he hasn't stayed in touch with us as well."

"That's right but you know what? He came back yesterday," Benson Smith said.

"Huh? Grand Uncle is back?” Penny Smith exclaimed.

Benson Smith nodded. "He chided your grandfather for kicking us out of the family. Uncle probably didn't want to see a rift forming within the family."

"He called me just this morning and invited us to lunch at 2pm this afternoon. He wants to discuss this with us.”

Leah Smith bit her lip. "The Old Master already kicked us out of the family, so what's there to talk about?"

Benson Smith sighed. "Dad kicked us out, not Uncle."

"Uncle is our senior and works at the

Grand Council, so there's no reason we shouldn't go."

"Since he's interested in this and wants to talk about it, why not take this chance to explain everything to him?” Penny Smith asked.

"In fact, if we manage to get on good terms with Grandpa and our other grand uncles, it would be a win-win situation for all of us."

That afternoon, Nathan Cross and company arrived at the Century Hotel for lunch.

They met up with Penny Smith's second grand uncle in the Peony Hall.

The man looked like he was in his sixties. Even so, his greying sideburns failed to get in the way of his powerful aura.

Everyone else from the Smith family was there too, except the Old Master Sean Smith himself.

"Uncle!"
