Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 276

Chase's eyes darted around nervously when he heard Nathan's words.

But he immediately remembered Henry's identity, as well as the person backing Henry — King of the South, Dip Turner — and was emboldened again.

He even ignored the fact that outsiders, Penny and Kylie were standing right there, and jeered at Nathan. "Punishment? I'm the boss here, whatever I say goes. Do you believe me when I say that even if I were to kill you right here right now, no one would even point a finger at me?"

"I don't believe you!"

Chase had just finished his sentence when a stern voice appeared behind them.

He and everyone else jumped up in surprise. They turned around and saw a large group of men standing behind them.

The one who was speaking was the one standing in the forefront — a man with a square face and wearing a black jacket.

Chase's eyes widened when he saw the square-faced man. "Deputy Chief Naas! What are you doing here?" he gasped.

As it turned out, the man was none other than the second-in-command of the police bureau, Lincoln Naas.

Lincoln was technically Chase's immediate supervisor. Chase had just bragged that he was the boss there and whatever he said was the law, and yet here came Lincoln Naas.

Lincoln had led a team of fully armed men down to the detention center. He looked at the terrified-looking Chase and smirked. "I never knew you were such a tough guy, insisting you have the power to kill whoever you want? You sound even more capable than me!”

Chase broke out into a cold sweat as his voice trembled, "Deputy Chief Naas, that was just a joke I made in the heat of the moment..."

Henry quickly jumped in and smiled at Lincoln. "Mr. Naas, I'm Henry Lancaster

from Alberesque."

Henry reached his hand out as he introduced himself, wanting to shake hands with Lincoln.

Both of them worked within the same system and rank-wise they were technically equals.

But because Henry was from the districtlevel whereas Lincoln Naas worked on a local-level, he naturally felt that he was superior to Lincoln and that Lincoln should be respectful to him.
