Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1996

What?ls it that bad?

It seemed that this Mr. Cross held quite an important position at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.

Freddy had started to pick up that something was off.

“Yes. yes, of course. I understand.”

“You better!” warned Sage.

And with that, Sage hung up the phone.

After the phone call ended, Freddy's stuck-up, egoistical behavior was gone, a sniveling, pathetic smile taking its place.

Under everyone else's shocked stares, he held the phone in both hands as he gave it back to Nathan, bowing profusely. “Um, Mr. Cross... I am terribly sorry. I was mistaken.”

“Oh?” Nathan raised an eyebrow. “What were you mistaken about?”

“I... This wine is not from the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor. It is a knock-off. I humbly apologize to you, Mr. Cross, as well as everyone else present,” Freddy simpered.

Jaeden and the rest of his classmates erupted into chaos.

In their eyes, Freddy had an ego so large that even if the wine was fake, he would never admit it to anyone else let alone publicly apologize for his mistake.

Plus, Freddy had a reputation to uphold. He would never serve cheap, imitation wine on

purpose.

So why was he suddenly letting go of his ego and asking Nathan for his forgiveness?

In the blink of an eye, everyone else started to see Nathan in a different light.

“The wine tastes alright, but it's a little lacking compared to the real thing,” Nathan commented. “If I'm guessing correctly, the batch of wine this bottle is from must have been below standard.

“The winery did not destroy this batch of subpar alcohol, but instead chose to privately give it up for sale, and that's how you ended up getting it.”

Freddy's eyes widened in realization as he slapped his forehead over and over again. “I knew that there was something fishy when Clinton agreed to sell me the batch of wine so easily! He's usually so petty! Of course, the wine couldn't have been from the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor!”
