Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2318

What Mizuki and Claude did not know was that the infamous Jetroinian hackers from Jazona were all lying in a pool of blood.

Colin, who was holding a petrol canister, started pouring the petrol on the hackers' bodies and their office.

He then took out a metal lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth before tossing the device to the floor.

In the blink of an eye, the fire razed the hackers' office to the ground.

After destroying the bodies and facilities in the office, Colin turned around and left. He took out his phone and instructed his hackers, “It's payback time. Reveal all of Mizuki's dirty secrets on the big screen when she's delivering her speech.”

“Yes, sir!”

Back at the award ceremony, it was time for Mizuki to speak on stage. Though she did not understand why the hackers did not play Penny's video on screen, she had to pull herself together to face the audience.

She bumped into Penny while making her way to the podium.

Penny, who was heading backstage, was accompanied by Nathan and Ava.

Nathan flashed a mysterious smile and said, “You're doomed.”

Mizuki did not understand what Nathan was saying.

She walked up to the stage, feeling uneasy.

The journalists started snapping her photos, and the audience welcomed her with a big round of applause.

A few journalists who noticed Mizuki’s swollen cheek asked her about it.

Mizuki smiled. “I accidentally slipped and fell in the waiting room backstage, but I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern.”

They all fell for her words.

Mizuki reached the podium and began her speech.

She was not only good at socializing but also an excellent public speaker. The members of the audience were so impressed that they constantly applauded her.

As she was enjoying the attention from the audience, a video suddenly started playing on the large screen behind her.
