Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2845

Nathan asked in a low voice, “What happened?”

Colin covered the phone with his hand and whispered, “The Peacekeeping Forces sent a message earlier saying that they were ambushed when they were escorting Ava back. The team that was with her is all dead, and she's gone missing.”

Nathan's expression darkened at the news.

Colin continued, “I was just trying to find out who did this when the culprit called me.”

Hearing that, Nathan's gaze fell on the phone in Colin's hand.

Colin added, “That's right. The culprit's on the line right now. He's saying that Ava's still alive, and that he wants to talk to you.”

Nathan frowned.

Standing aside, Mueller watched how Colin kept whispering to Nathan, and how the latter's face was darkening by the second.

Worried, he asked, “Mr. Cross, is there something wrong?”

Nathan shook his head. “No. Please excuse me for a moment.”

With that, he left with Colin and walked toward a quiet spot in the corridor.

He then took the phone from Colin's hand, put it to his ear, and uttered coldly, “Hello?”

A snicker sounded from the other end of the line. “Nathan, is that you?”

Nathan replied coolly, “Who are you?”

The man on the line chuckled again. “My name's Antonio. As for who I am... you don't need to know about that.”
