Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2011

Nathan and Kylie were just brooding on running into Raida and Sophia wherever they went.

It was a surprise for them to see Raida approaching their table.

Nathan and Kylie exchanged glances. What does this fool want?

“Are you Nathan Cross?” he asked roughly, glaring at Nathan down the length of his nose.

“Do we know each other?” Nathan asked coldly.

“No we don't,” Raida laughed jeeringly. “I don't know which hole you crawled out from, but you're not worth knowing.”

Kylie flared up at his words.

What's wrong with him? How dare he speak to Nathan like that? Is he tired of living?

Sophia heard Raida a couple of tables away and glowed with pride. Sophia heard Raida a couple of tables away and glowed with pride.

She was blushing furiously, with eyes twinkling like stars. The Chief Military Governor is really exerting his influence. I love how brutally he berates Nathan.Even her Uncle Clifford has some respect for Nathan to refrain from speaking to him in this manner.lt wouldn't be wise to go too far and offend Nathan though, given his reputation for killing.For Raida to go above and beyond and insult Nathan to his face, demonstrates his power and rank.

Sophia was scheming for her future, just like Raida was doing. She saw herself as the wife of the Chief Military Governor.

Meanwhile, Nathan looked up and regarded Raida coldly.

In spite of himself, Raida shivered slightly at the piercing intensity of Nathan's gaze.

He felt like a small dog who ran into a forest and barked, only to find out in fear that a pair of eyes belonging to a savage beast staring back at him.

As Sophia said, he is like an ant. He can be stomped on at any given time.How could he be compared to the savage beast in the forest?

Raida dismissed his fear as irrational.

Suppressing that feeling of dread with great difficulty, he forced himself to meet Nathan's eyes.

“I believe in giving second chances to those unfortunately blessed with ignorance,” Nathan said quietly. “I don't think you actually know who I am. I'm giving you a chance to correct that mistake. I want you to crawl on the floor.”

Crawl?

Raida was rigid with rage.
