Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2916

Nathan and the rest sat down at the neighboring table.

They then ordered some food and also half a dozen beers.

Without hesitation, Sevan grabbed a bottle of beer from the table and brought it to his mouth, ready to bite down on it.

This fellow must have teeth made from steel. He can even crush the bones in the drumsticks!

Worried that Sevan might devour the beer bottle, Nathan hurriedly reached out to stop him. He then grabbed his bottle and taught Sevan the right way to drink.

“Some things aren't edible. Come, let me teach you. You have to open the bottle and drink the contents in it.”

As much as Sevan was intellectually challenged, it did not take too long for him to understand the steps.

He expertly traced Nathan's actions, lifting his head and gulping down the beer.

The next second, his eyes lit up as he shrieked and danced in excitement.

It was obvious he had a tremendous liking for beer.

Seeing that, Nathan and the others burst into laughter.

The crowd around them also shot them strange looks.

Subsequently, Sevan reached out for his second bottle and began drinking. Catching sight of that, Nathan and the rest smiled and dug into their food.

Right then, Colin's phone vibrated. There was a text message.

Fishing out his phone, Colin glanced at his screen and inched closer to Nathan's ear. “That pair at the table next to ours knows you, Mr. Cross. The intelligence department of the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor has already run a check on their backgrounds and sent it to me. They're both officers from Interpol. The guy is called Haskell Dreyfuss, and the lady is Erin Whitehill. They're here to capture a corrupted official who absconded here.”

As it turned out, the two Interpol officers were here in secret to catch Sylvester Briggs, a corrupted official on the run.

Realization dawned upon Nathan.

No wonder there was an unfathomable glint in Haskell and Erin's gazes when they saw me coming in. They recognized that I'm the President of Eurasia!

He turned his head around to look at Haskell and Erin.

Coincidentally, Haskell and Erin were also staring at Nathan. As their eyes met, the two hastily straightened their backs and put a respectful look on their faces. The admiration for the man was overflowing from their gazes, along with their excitement at meeting him.

With a smile, Nathan bobbed his head slightly, both as a form of silent greeting and an affirmation of their hard work for coming all the way here to capture a corrupted official.

Nathan's appreciation for them made Haskell's and Erin's faces flush in immense jubilation.

Suddenly, the door to the bar was kicked open violently.

Likewise, Erin straightened her back and reprimanded, “Exactly. Since you know we're here to arrest you, you better give up and follow us back to accept the legal sanctions.”

Hearing that, Sylvester guffawed till his stomach ached.

The young lady beside him and Skeleton King, too, burst into laughter.

Suppressing the urge to continue laughing, Sylvester ridiculed, “You two want me to follow you back to get sentenced to the death penalty? You must be kidding! There's no way I'm following you back to be executed. On the other hand, you two can forget about leaving this place alive!”

Finishing his words, Sylvester took a few steps back and commanded, “Skeleton King, I'll leave these two in your hands now. Kill the man. As for the woman, you can probably seize her and sell her off to a brothel! I want to give those officers at Interpol a warning so they won't come and create unnecessary trouble for me again.”

Upon receiving the order, Skeleton King and his men pulled out their weapons and got ready to jump into action.

Not expecting themselves to run into such a situation, Haskell's and Erin's faces turned ashen. Nonetheless, they were still ready to put up a good fight with the other party. At worst, we'll sacrifice ourselves in the line of duty.

Unexpectedly, just as a fiery showdown neared, a frosty voice sounded from the neighboring table. “I can't believe a piece of trash like you could actually be a government servant in Eurasia.”

Shock and fury consumed Sylvester as that voice rang out. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the source.

What came into their vision was Nathan, who was gracefully eating his steak.

Under everyone's attention, Nathan put down his fork and knife, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and looked toward Sylvester. “You disgusting trash. Thanks to you, I've lost my appetite to eat. Tell me, what should I do now?”
