Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2818

The first to react were Maxwell's subordinates.

Roaring in anger, they reached for their guns.

However, Nathan had already sent the table flying toward them.

The table zinged through the air before smashing into Maxwell's subordinates just like a bowling ball striking down its pins.

At that moment, even Blackbeard realized what was going on.

No matter how dim-witted he was, the fact that Nathan was a fake didn't escape him.

Overwhelmed with rage, he exploded, “Men, kill this brat at once!”

Before any of them could make a move, Ava sprang into action.

Just like a phantom, she dashed up to one of the armed men at lightning speed and unleashed a punch in his face.

Concurrently, she used the opportunity to seize the gun from her victim.

Without even the need to look, she began spraying bullets with the AK.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the midst of the gunshots, shattered debris from the furniture and decorations flew into the air.

One by one, Blackbeard's subordinates were hit and collapsed in an agonizing scream.

Seizing upon the chaos, someone lunged toward Nathan.

The figure was none other than Water Devil, one of Blackbeard's lieutenants.

“How dare you mess around in our territory? I'm going to kill you, you brat!”

Water Devil charged at Nathan with a vicious expression.

Eliano, who was standing nearby, had already noticed that the man in front of him was President Cross. Hence, he cried out instinctively, “Watch out!”

Nonetheless, Nathan just stood where he was as if he was stunned by Water Devil's attack.

The sight of Nathan remaining stationary delighted Water Devil. Raising his hand, he threw a devastating punch toward Nathan's face.

It wasn't until Water Devil's fist was close did Nathan take action.

Lifting his left hand, he intercepted his attacker's fist with ease.

What?

Water Devil's eyes opened wide, while his face was filled with disbelief.

Crack!

In spite of that, he had never imagined that Nathan was capable of sweeping his weapon away the moment they crossed swords.

With his nostrils flaring, it was difficult for Blackbeard to hide his shock.

However, Nathan didn't give his opponent the opportunity to react at all. The instant he disarmed Blackbeard, his kick was already flying through the air.

Crack! Crack!

With two lightning-fast kicks—each aimed at Blackbeard's respective knees—Blackbeard's kneecaps were instantly shattered.

Crying in excruciating pain, Blackbeard dropped to his knees. Meanwhile, the rest of his subordinates in the living hall had already been shot to death by Ava.

As for the armed men outside who wanted to rush in to provide support, they were easily taken out with headshots by Ava the moment they bobbed their heads in.

As a result, the remaining pirates outside the door didn't dare barge in blindly.

With both his legs broken, the grimacing Blackbeard suffered from excruciating pain while kneeling on the ground. He yelled at Nathan, “Who in the world are you? Why are you doing this?”

Ignoring Blackbeard, Nathan walked toward Eliano, who was cowering in fear on the ground.

After helping the latter to his feet, Nathan inquired with a faint smile, “Professor Salce, are you all right?”

Staring at Nathan, Eliano—finally certain that the man standing in front of him was President Cross—was so overwhelmed by emotions that he could barely string a sentence together. “I'm fine. I'm fine. Mr. Cross, it's you. It's really you. I'm shocked that you would put yourself in danger just to save a nobody like me. I truly feel guilty and moved by what you've done.”
