Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 24

The guards later pulled Mason away, but he had already been heavily wounded.

This was the first time Mason had experienced this kind of violence from his father. He was too shaken up to know how to react.

Feeling that he did not deserve the punishment, he asked, "Why did you hit me?"

Lily seized the moment and stepped forward, "Mr. Harvey. It was wrong of me to offend you. It was all my fault. Please don't blame him for it."

Derek's breathing was still uneven from his anger. He pointed at Nathan then loudly clarified, "That man is Mr. Cross. He is Thomas Dunn's chief and the person whom I respect the most. It was shocking to see you two disrespect him. Either you apologize now or I'll beat you to death!"

Thomas Dunn!

Mason was alarmed.

Thomas Dunn was the underground boss of the Eastern District, who was known for his brutality.

Operating with an iron fist, he had made himself the top dog in two years.

Despite having left his position in the Armed Forces for years, it did not make him any less powerful.

Thomas Dunn was also known as Hades the Annihilator.

The story behind it was chilling. A group of outlaws provoked Thomas Dunn, and as a result, they were all eliminated.

From then on, no one wanted to get on the wrong side of him.

Mason was also informed about the episode where his father had offended Thomas Dunn's chief. That was how his father had become disabled. Even after his injury, he had to visit the family to beg for mercy.

Staring at Nathan, Mason finally came to realize his true identity.

This was the man behind his father's misery!

Mason's face looked as if he had seen a ghost. His knees felt weak, and he fell on his knees.

At the verge of weeping, Mason had to squeeze the words out of his closed-up throat, "Mr. Cross... I... I was too ignorant. I know I deserve the worst punishment... but... please forgive me this time..."

Lily witnessed as her mighty Mason dissolved into tears. This man had become someone she did not know.
