Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2347

It did not take long for news of Jace's arrest to reach Yorksland, which created an uproar among the public and the authorities in Yorksland.

The authorities pointed their fingers at Nathan and accused him of overstepping his authority. They reasoned that he had no right to detain Yorksland's men and that their legal system did not apply to Yorksland.

Jace was influential in Yorksland, so he had many supporters who petitioned for his release.

However, it was a different scene among the commoners in Yorksland. When they heard Jace was arrested, they jumped with joy and spread the good news to their family and friends.

Jace was like a cancerous tumor to these people, causing them unbearable pain. No one in Yorksland could do anything to him, as he was powerful and influential there. It was a prayer answered when Nathan stepped in to rid them of that notorious scum.

Despite multiple appeals and petitions from the authorities of Yorksland, Jace was not spared, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. As for his men, they were given varied jail sentences, depending on the severity of the crimes they had committed.

Back in Channing, Derrick Dean was enjoying his steak and reading the newspaper when he saw the shocking news that Jace was sentenced.

He couldn't help but frown. “Nathan may appear to be an idle man, but it looks like he is still quite influential in the army! Otherwise, how can one explain why he can easily mobilize a thousand soldiers to take Jace down?” he muttered.

Five men were standing respectfully behind Derrick as he ate. They were his top subordinates who had worked with him for many years. They were nicknamed D'Five.

Each of the five men had unique talents. Buster was blessed with supernatural strength, and Liamme, although crippled in one leg, could maneuver his crutches quite invincibly. Counsellor was well-versed in the Ancient Arts, while Quasi was so cold-blooded he could slaughter a whole village without blinking an eyelid. The fifth was Scholar, who was highly skilled in the use of swords.

Counsellor solemnly stated, “Master, Mr. Quentin Perez sent us on a mission to get rid of Nathan. I think it will be more challenging than we thought it would be.”

Derrick put down his cutleries, took another glance at the headline news, and nodded. “Yes, it will be more challenging, but not so insurmountable that we need to plan on backing out from the deal.”
