Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2457

At noon, Nathan, Penny, and the rest set off for the Smith family manor.

Upon alighting the car, they were greeted with a closed-off gate. Furthermore, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Immediately, it struck them as odd.

“Didn't we agree to celebrate Penn's birthday today? Why is it so quiet? Where is everyone?” Nathan questioned, feeling puzzled.

Penny and the rest were equally confused.

“Could it be that they're already done with the preparations and are hiding? They must be waiting to surprise Penny, the star of tonight's banquet!” Kylie suggested.

Hearing this, Penny and the rest chuckled. Kylie must be right.

Nathan stepped forward and pushed the door open as they entered the manor.

However, when they stepped inside, they instantly sensed that something was amiss.

All the Smith family members, including the staff, had been forcefully rounded up and were bound in ropes. A few of them even had gags stuffed in their mouths.

To make matters worse, they were surrounded by a group of fierce-looking men.

The sight caused Nathan to knit his brows together.

“Grandpa, Uncle Samuel, and Uncle Paul, what happened to all of you?” Penny cried out in shock.

All of a sudden, a loud bang echoed behind them. Hearing this, Penny whirled around, only to find that a group of men had slammed the gates shut.

Promptly, Nathan and the rest heard a menacing voice. “Hahaha! Nathan, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you.”

Instinctively, they looked over and noticed a man with his right arm in a cast. There was a wine glass in his other hand as he shot Nathan a cold smirk. A trembling Ferlyn stood beside him, serving him wine.

When Nathan caught sight of him, the scowl across his brows deepened.

“Jett, it's you again. I decided to spare your life last time given your military background and your moment of impulsiveness. And yet, you still came looking for trouble.”
