Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2889

The next night, as the clear moonlight shone down on Lady Freedom Harbor, its rays enveloped Lady Freedom, giving the iconic statue a silvery hue.

On the slightly rippling sea, the waves were shimmering as though diamond dust had been sprinkled all over them.

At the moment, Nathan was sitting cross-legged in an inconspicuous spot located in the harbor. Holding on to a fishing rod, he was fishing.

Accompanying him in his night fishing were Colin, Kraven, and Kerry.

However, the trio's focus was not on fishing. Instead, they were looking out toward the sea with anxious expressions on their faces.

Being a man from a military background, Colin had a stronger resolve than other people. Although he was on tenterhooks, he was able to somewhat maintain his composure.

Meanwhile, Kerry was in a restless state as well. However, since she was in the presence of Nathan, she tried her best to tamp down her anxiety as she waited patiently.

As for Kraven, he was the one who was on edge the most among the three of them. In fact, he was like a cat on a hot tin roof.

He was pacing back and forth behind Nathan, muttering, “Why isn't the ship here yet? Why isn't it here yet?”

Nathan glanced at the watch on his wrist and said flatly, “Kraven, one needs patience when fishing. You won't be able to catch any fish if you're so jumpy like this.”

In truth, he himself was feeling rather tense as well. After all, that night was the only night he would be able to see and save his master.

Even so, after experiencing so many ups and downs in recent years, he understood that being anxious was useless and hardly conducive to solving the issues at hand.

Only by staying calm could one solve their problems.

As such, Nathan remained composed throughout.

Kraven gave a dry chuckle and said, “Mr. Cross, there's only fifteen minutes left before the clock strikes midnight, but the legendary Ghost Ship is still nowhere to be seen. Could it be that the information we have is wrong?”

Nathan said coolly, “The information was provided by the intelligence department, so I doubt there's anything wrong with it. Let's just wait patiently.”

Hearing that, Kraven had no choice but to continue to wait.

Seconds ticked by, and soon, it was already past midnight. Even then, the sea was quiet. Not a single cargo ship had passed by in the whole half hour they had waited, let alone the Ghost Ship.

Seeing that it was almost twelve-thirty, Kraven could no longer keep his peace.

Before he could utter a single word, however, Nathan said, “The fish's here.”
