Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1390

A scrawny but vicious-looking man reached for his dagger asked with a wicked smile, "Mr. Coyle is talking to you! Did you take a peek at his wife while she was showering?"

"I-I didn't..." Marcus stuttered. He was horrified.

Before Marcus could finish his sentence, the vicious-looking man had already lunged his dagger at Marcus, stabbing the latter at his thigh.

The sharp dagger penetrated Marcus's pants and was merely a few centimeters away from Marcus's groin.

Marcus shuddered in fear because could feel the dagger's frigid blade on his pants. In fact, he almost wet himself in front of everyone.

Once again, the vicious-looking man asked, "On behalf of Mr. Coyle, I'll ask you once more. You should be mindful of your answer; otherwise, I may stab the wrong place next time. Did you take a peek at Mr. Coyle's wife while she was showering?” "Y-Yes! I-I did! I-I took a peek! Boohoo..." Marcus stuttered as his teeth were chattering.

He broke down in tears as soon as he finished his sentence because he felt aggrieved and intimidated at the same time.

Meanwhile, Victor and the bunch of bandits exchanged glances and smiled; they were overjoyed because they had achieved their goal.

Similarly, Victor's vicious-looking subordinate repeated the same trick on the remaining employees of Cross Group. They were forced to admit they had taken a peek, or their life would be at stake.

"Since your workers have admitted their wrongdoing, how should we settle the score?" Victor probed with a grin as he looked at Penny.

Penny grimaced in disgust because she was certain she had run into a bunch of bandits.

Obviously, she wouldn't be able to sort things out peacefully because the bandits were determined to rip off Cross Group. Penny also knew it would be impossible for her to talk some sense into the bandits.

Therefore, she decided to give in to their demand. Although it might cost a fortune, it was fine to her, as long as she could solve the problem.

Once she made up her mind, Penny tried her best to suppress her anger and asked, "Why don't you tell me what exactly you are up to?"
