Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 280

Alfred reported everything he knew to Dip Turner.

"Rumor has it the Cross' Cross Corporation is a valuable business in Channing. And so Nathan is on very good terms with their city officials."

"Channing authorities showed no respect to Henry Lancaster at all and instead continued to protect Nathan Cross. And I certainly didn't expect them to punish them so harshly.

A crease formed between Dip's brows. "Oh tiny, tiny Channing, how arrogant of you!

Do they not know that Henry Lancaster was there on my orders?"

Alfred assured Dip. “I'm sure the higher-ups in Channing weren't aware of this. Otherwise they wouldn't have dared to touch a single hair on Henry."

"No one in the South would be brave enough to go against you, Mr. Turner. No one!"

Dip's expression eased a little. "So they didn't know Henry was sent by me. No wonder they dared to touch him."

"But since I've given my word to Kingston Zabinski to teach Nathan Cross a lesson, I can't very well just let this end here. Who do you think would be a good candidate to send to Channing to assassinate Nathan?"

Alfred chuckled. "Sir, we don't need to send anyone all the way from here. As far as I know, there's a potential candidate in Channing right now. We just have to give her the order."

This peaked Dip's interest. “Who?"

"It's a family member of one of the Southern Four. Shannon Russo of the Russo family."

Dip had a vague recollection of Shannon Russo. She had both the looks and the brains, and her scheming ways made her one of the rising stars among the younger generation in the Russo family.

Dip asked curiously, "The daughter of the Russos? What's she doing in Channing?

And she is a woman after all, will she be able to handle the task of killing Nathan?"

Alfred chuckled as he explained. "Sir, you might be unaware, but the Russo's son recently died at Nathan's hands. It's very likely Shannon went to Channing to seek revenge for her brother."

Dip was first surprised by this piece of news, but then quickly became delighted. "Very well. You shall go and notify Shannon Russo that she has one month to deliver Nathan's head to me on a platter. Once done, she will be handsomely rewarded."
