Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 196

While the Russo family and Zabinski family were both parts of the Southern Four, the Zabinski family was mainly involved in the southern underworld and obtained most of their wealth from gray businesses. On the other hand, the Russo family was the real business tycoon in the South. Several members of the family were also high ranking officials in the Armed Forces of a few cities in the south.

As such, the Russo family was a lot more prominent in status compared to the Zabinski family. This was why even Jerry had to be respectful and polite when talking to Giovanni Russo.

After the two young men sat down, Jerry gestured for the waiter to start serving their food.

Immediately, all kinds of premium seafood were brought to the table. Jerry even opened up a one hundred thousand dollar bottle of white wine to drink with Giovanni.

The two men were childhood friends and used to play together frequently. However, it was only recently that Giovanni heard about Jerry having lost his manhood.

In a voice full of regret, Giovanni said, "Mr. Zabinski, one of the entertainment industry bosses recently gifted me a pair of gorgeous twin sisters. I was going to ask you to sample them with me, but it seems you've run into a man's worst nightmare. What a pity!"

Jerry had been incredibly touchy about the incident ever since Cross had castrated him. Even though he knew Giovanni had not ill-meaning when he said those words, he still felt annoyed by them.

He did not let his true feelings show though but merely plastered a fake smile on his face as he commented, "Yeah, I miss the days where we would pick up women together. I might not be able to do it anymore, but I wonder if you still can do that, Mr. Loverboy."

Proud of his suave ways, Giovanni laughed. "Don't you worry, man. I've never had any issue when it comes to women."

Jerry challenged him while leaping at this opportunity, "You wanna make a bet?"

"What bet?” Giovanni asked.

Then he pointed at Penny, who was sitting outside eating lunch with her family. Jerry smiled slyly as he said, "You see that beauty over there?"
