Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 161

Nathan smiled faintly. "They're taking issues related to misbehavior among the children of officials very seriously these days, aren't they? So the higher-ups have been strictly keeping watch for they're afraid of these spoilt brats causing trouble. The Mayor even set up a channel for normal citizens recently so anyone who encounters similar problems can always give the Mayor a call. He has taken such matters very seriously and will deal with them right away. So I called the hotline, but I have never expected the Mayor to actually come and solve the issue."

Penny believed Nathan's words but Luther and William were slightly skeptical.

Meanwhile, inside a private room at Wigston Club.

Jon Xander was having a toast with a Southeast Asian man.

This Southeast Asian chap was over 170 cm tall and wore a wolf's fang as a necklace.

He had tanned skin and toned muscles. At first glance, he looked like a farmer who worked on the fields by the countryside.

But the man was, in fact, a powerful figure. He was a mercenary leader who carried out activities in several small countries of Southeast Asia all year long, Fearless Wolf.

Fearless Wolf led a mercenary force consisting of dozens of men, which operated in Southeast Asia throughout the year.

Their main duties were to act as hitmen and protect drug dealers who wanted to cross checkpoints.

China was very strict when it came to mercenaries, leaving little opportunity for them to survive in such a prosperous and stable country.

Mercenaries normally didn't want to risk carrying out their activities here either; the penalties of being caught were extremely harsh.

But this time, Jon Xander had offered Adalwolf's team eighty million to come over and kill Nathan Cross.

Adalwolf was very tempted.

This was why he had turned up in Channing and was now drinking with Jon Xander at Wigston Club.

Adalwolf frequented various countries in Southeast Asia and was fluent in many languages around that region. "Mr. Xander, it might be easy to kill a commoner like Nathan Cross. But we're in China now," he said in a rather flat Chinese accent. "It's a big risk for us to be here especially knowing how strict this country is when hunting down mercenaries. I'll take my men to kill Nathan tonight itself if you pay half the fee now. You can pay the rest after I'm done. That's not a problem for you, right?"

"Fair enough," Jon Xander responded. "Pay him, Hades."

Hades was another very capable subordinate of Jon.
