Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1425

Not daring to waste any more time, Noel immediately contacted the mayor of Channing, Russell Crow, and requested some police assistance.

After that, he called the Commander-in-chief of the Channing Military District, Franklin Wilson, to ask for a battalion of soldiers.

Oblivious to the grudge going on between Noel and Nathan, Russell and Franklin did not hesitate in agreeing. They never thought that Noel would be using their men to go up against Nathan.

In less than half an hour, the police captain, Zed Walker, appeared at Draco Hotel with two hundred of his best men.

At nearly the same time, the Captain of National Guards, Callan Stone, arrived with three hundred soldiers.

The police and military combined would make five hundred men, with close to a hundred vehicles to transport them.

Passers-by could not help gaping at the majestic scene this presented as they wondered which important figure had arrived.

Noel shook hands with Zed and Callan, stating, "Thank you both for coming over to help me when you're so busy. Please convey my deepest gratitude to Mayor Crow and Major-General Wilson."

Smiling, Zed answered, "You're too polite, Mr. Harbor. Mr. Mayor wants me to express his apologies for not coming to personally greet you. He has a meeting, you see.”

Noel chuckled and replied, "Hahaha. That's all right. It's the thought that counts. Rest assured the Harbor family will remember this."

At the same time, Callan chose that moment to speak up, "Mr. Harbor, might I ask what we can help you with? With both the police and the military here, this is quite the turnout you have."

"One of the Harbor family's enemies is holding the president of the Elite Club and his friends hostage." Noel explained gravely, "Mr. Bright and the other young masters from various influential families in Mayberry are currently being tortured as we speak! I requested for your aid so that we may rescue those young men and punish those vile criminals."

Zed and Callan had surprised expressions on their faces.
