Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3067

At dawn, the elites from the South Army set off to intercept the escape of Max's subordinates under Colin's order.

In the end, every single one of those men was captured and killed halfway through their flight.

Unfortunately, there was no news on Max.

Early in the morning, Nathan was having coffee with Penny and Hepburn by his side when Colin approached to report on Max's escape.

Upon learning of the expected result, Nathan lamented, “I knew it would be difficult to capture him. I should have ignored my wounds and pressed ahead with the pursuit last night.”

No sooner had he spoken than Penny reprimanded him, “You haven't even recovered from your wounds yet. If you had aggravated your injuries in the pursuit last night, you would have done lasting damage to your body.”

Colin quickly chimed in, “That's right. Mr. Cross, you have overexerted yourself in the last battle, causing all your hair to turn white. Since you haven't recovered, you cannot afford to get injured again.”

Ava concurred, “Colin is right, Mr. Cross. Once you've recovered, killing that rogue, Max, would be a walk in the park for you.”

Nathan shook his head with a smile. “It isn't that easy. Given his extraordinary status, he'll be untouchable once he returns to Adrune.”

At the mention of Max's status, Hepburn could not resist commenting, “Mr. Cross, I have informed the pope that Max is a vampire. The Curia will definitely demand an explanation from Ariarica.”

Nathan fell silent, for he had a niggling feeling that there was more to the matter than met the eye.

Considering that Max was Ariarica's Five-star General, the issue could not be resolved easily.
