Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1546

Penny Smith was also sensitive to Herman's words, which carried a hint of immodesty.

She maintained basic etiquette and politely declined to shake hand with him with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Commissioner Franck. I'm sorry, but my husband does not like it when I shake hands with other men," she explained.

Herman was obviously displeased by this.

He came from the province to inspect this city - even Russell Crow had to treat him with the utmost respect.

As for the rest of the businessmen, they walked on eggshells around him and bombarded him with flattery.

He had taken the initiative to shake hands with Penny, but she had the guts to turn him down and publicly humiliate him.

He couldn't afford to let her trample on his dignity.

His face fell, and his tone became chilly,

"Your husband?”

Penny hurriedly introduced Nathan, who was standing beside her, "This is my husband, Nathan."

Russell noticed Herman's dissatisfaction and became even more apprehensive. He hastily stepped forward and said with a smile," Yes, Yes, Commissioner Franck. Let me introduce this man, this is..."

Russell wanted to tell Herman that Nathan was the General of the North to prevent him from poking the bear.

Alas, Nathan coldly interrupted, "My name is Nathan Cross. I'm a soldier. I'm now on vacation to visit my relatives, so I decided to accompany my wife and attend your banquet. You can take it as an act of hospitability as a host. I am part of Channing's public, after all."

Russell originally wanted to reveal Nathan's identity, but Nathan shot him an icy glare. All those present who were privy to Nathan's true identity dared not let out a peep.

Herman vented his fury on Nathan. "You are neither the leader of Channing nor a businessman; you're not fit to be a host!"

The audience's faces were filled with trepidation when they heard this.

Russell swallowed hard, bracing for the worst.

Penny quickly grasped Nathan's hand, surreptitiously reminding Nathan to quell his anger and ignore people like Herman.

Herman noticed Russell's dramatic change in mood, but he figured that Russell respected Nathan and Penny because their company could generate a large amount of tax revenue for Channing.

He thought disdainfully, I don't care about Cross Group's tax revenue.

Moreover, Cross Group is also under my supervision.
