Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1764

Alan sneered. “Hah! Of course, I do. And not only that, but I'll also shoot every single one of you to death if you don't identify Penny Smith as the instigator.”

The Eighteen Riders of the North were fuming and another one of them voiced his anger. “We are under the command of the General of the North. Kill us all if you have the guts!”

Alan smiled icily. “As you wish!”

Without hesitation, he ordered, “Drag all of them out to be shot to death.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Armed soldiers of the Security Department immediately closed in on the Eighteen Riders.

In a state of shock and fury, Jack and his men were contemplating on whether to fight back.

Right then, a commanding voice sounded from outside. “Stop!”

Everyone turned their gazes to the door in surprise.

A smart and gallant woman clad in military uniform and a pair of black combat boots walked in with a hard look on her face.

In an icy tone, Ava answered, "I'm the Deputy

Alan frowned slightly. “So you're the General's Deputy Captain. What are you doing here?”

Ava glanced at the Eighteen Riders and said curtly, “I'm here to take our North Army soldiers away.

Alan's eyes flicked toward the Eighteen Riders and he laughed mirthlessly before saying to Ava, “Apologies, but they violated the law, murdering masses in the South, so I cannot let you take them away.”

Ava snapped, “They belong to the North Army. Even if they have committed a crime, they are still under the jurisdiction of the North Army. On what grounds are you stopping me from taking them away?”

“On the grounds that my rank is higher than yours!” Alan arrogantly stated with a raised chin.

Ava was boiling with anger. “What's the meaning of this? You're using your rank to pressure us?”

Alan smugly said, “That's right. That's exactly what I'm doing.
