Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2661

In the meantime, Erwin was seated in the living room of the Holmes residence with a look of sheer solemnity.

Carrey was standing alongside him, his face pale as a sheet.

Wearing a look of intense anxiousness, Hamish was pacing to and fro in the living room as he uttered apprehensively, “Brayion and the others were wiped out, and I bet Seamus must have been captured by Nathan Cross' men! I foresee he won't be able to hold on for long before confessing everything to Cross! Oh no! What are we supposed to do?”

Erwin snapped coldly, “Stop pacing to and fro in front of me. Didn't I advise you not to act impetuously? What's the point of lamenting after you've screwed up everything?”

Hamish's face turned ashen as he asked helplessly, “Dad, what are we supposed to do now? Cross will surely strike against us after finding out everything from Seamus. I think we're doomed!”

Right that instant, Percy Xaver, deemed Erwin's most unrivaled fighter, entered hastily and updated him, “Mr. Holmes, the latest news is that the President has been issued a Critical Illness Notice by the hospital and could meet his end at any moment. At the moment, Nathan Cross has gone to the hospital to see him. If I'm not wrong, the President has even entrusted his daughter to him.”

Hearing that, Erwin furrowed his brows.

There was a drastic change in Carrey's and Hamish's countenance.

Carrey pointed out in bafflement, “Dad, why didn't the President ask you to go over if he intended to entrust his daughter to someone?” Hamish echoed, “Could it be Cross has told the President about what we've done? Perhaps he is even assigning Cross to wipe out the Holmes family before he meets his end!”

The grimness on Erwin's face intensified instantaneously. It was as though there were flickers of petrifying lightning amid dark clouds enveloping his eyes.

Percy stated solemnly, “Mr. Holmes, we're currently in a precarious state. I think we'd better take prompt action now before it's too late.”

Erwin let out a deep sigh. “It's never occurred to me that we would be in such a crisis. Am I fated to take this risky move?”
