Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 199

From those words, Nathan knew these men were here because of that fop he dealt with earlier that afternoon.

In an indifferent tone, he said, "I can already guess who you are based on your demeanor; your backgrounds have saved your lives. If you leave right now, I won't take offense for what you've done so far."

William was mildly surprised as he did not expect Nathan to know who they were. Despite that, he burst into laughter at his speech.

"Hahaha! You don't seem to understand your situation, do you? Right now, you're at our mercy, it is not the other way around."

With that, William gestured at his men. "Men, get Cross and trash this place up. Break the limbs of anyone who dares to go against you!”

"Yes, sir!" his men answered in high spirit.

William was very confident with the abilities of his men. In his mind, if Cross and his men had decided to go against them, they would be futile like a child going against a giant.

Nathan gave orders to his men as he was ticked off by his impudence. "Let's see if you have the bite to match your bark. Colin, Thomas, teach them a lesson!"

"Yes, sir!"

With that shout, Colin and Thomas led the rest of the men as they charged to meet with their opponents.

The two sides clashed together violently and all hell broke loose.

In an instant, terrible cries of pain and the coppery tang of blood filled the air of the restaurant.

William had thought that this would be a one-sided massacre, but the scene before him had him gaping in shock with his eyes wide open.

It was true there was a massacre but contrary to his expectations, his men were the ones being bashed up and not the

other way around.

In that initial rush, more than a dozen of his men had fallen to the floor, howling in pain. A few more seconds later, all of his men were on the ground.

For a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming. How could his men not be a match for Dunn and his ragtag bunch of friends? How could they have lost so badly?
