Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1474

Colin and Nathan turned to one another, and they were both shaken to the core.

Colin acted calm and gasped like he was into the gossip, "No way!”

Lewis got nervous when he saw that Colin didn't believe it. Lewis insisted, "It's true! At the very least, that's how the military in Mayberry operates.”

"However, money isn't the only thing that could determine one's ranking. It depended on the person's ability and background too."

"Take me for example, I could only buy the rank of a major. Anything else would be out of my reach even if I have the money."

Colin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Okay, so in your case, if you can buy a rank, how much would it cost you?"

"One million,” replied Lewis.

Colin gasped. He turned to look at Nathan, but he had started talking and drinking with Ty.

Colin then told Lewis, "I can't really help you with your promotion. As you know, I belong to the North Army while you are with the East. We're in different sections, so there isn't anything I can do."

Lewis was clearly disappointed.

"But I can lend you a million," added Colin suddenly.

What?

Lewis was stunned for a moment. He became excited and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," replied Colin.

Lewis became excited and held his drink up. "You're a true family. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future.”

Colin drank with Lewis. All Colin thought about was I'd be glad if you just don't hate me.

The party ended later and the guests left.

Colin reported the matter to Nathan, and Nathan immediately decided. He banked in a million into Lewis' account.

Lewis was ecstatic when he got the money.

Nathan and Colin stood at the front of the door and watched as Lewis drove away.
