Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3228

The lady at the counter quickly left and returned shortly after with a tall, beautiful woman who seemed to be in her thirties or forties.

That woman was dressed in a black gown and looked incredibly alluring with her rosy red lips.

Despite how attractive the woman looked, everyone at the scene seemed a little scared of her.

As it turned out, she was the owner of Nightfire Underground City.

No one knew her real name. Everyone only knew her by her nickname “Shadow Widow.”

Being female didn't make her any weaker than most of the men out there, though.

She used to be a Goddess of Warrior in her home country before it was destroyed by the blood virus. After that, she went underground and continued leading her people in the battle against the vampires.

With her only hope being to someday rebuild her home country, she established Nightfire Underground City and used it as her base camp.

She deliberately allowed bounty hunters, mercenaries, and travelers into Nightfire Underground City so they could rest and resupply. She even provided them with food, drinks, entertainment, and cash rewards in exchange for the resources they gathered.

She did all of that in order to unite the people so that they would team up against the vampires.

On top of that, it allowed her to make money and strengthen her private military force. This was her main way of combating the vampires and rebuilding the country's economy.

Shadow Widow soon arrived at the hall with a bunch of her subordinates following closely behind.

Her gaze immediately fell upon Nathan the moment she saw his group.

Although Nathan had on a combat mask and was dressed in combat gear, she found herself stunned by his amazing figure and masculine facial features.

My goodness... What a handsome Aplothian man!

Without waiting for the lady at the counter to introduce her, she walked right up to Nathan and asked with a polite bow, “Are you the powerful newcomer that my subordinate was telling me about?”

“I wouldn't call myself powerful. I just pack a bit of a punch, that's all. And you are?” Nathan replied calmly.

He slayed a vampire marquis, and yet, he says he isn't powerful? If he isn't powerful, then what does that make me?

Blossom was stunned for a brief moment before breaking down in tears. She then dropped to her knees and said, “Thank you very much, Mr. Cross! I will repay the favor by any means necessary!”

“Any means necessary, huh?” Nathan asked with a chuckle.

Thinking that Nathan was dropping hints at wanting sexual favors, Blossom burned bright red as she replied, “I'm willing to do anything for you, Mr. Cross...”

It simply couldn't be helped.

Nathan's strapping figure, handsome face, and remarkable power made him a ridiculously charming man.

Being an ordinary girl, Blossom couldn't withstand Nathan's charms and ended up falling for him.

Nathan was shocked when he realized she took his joke seriously. “Whoa, whoa, whoa... I was just kidding! I used to command an army myself, so seeing you reminded me of those retired soldiers. That's why I decided to help you out. You don't need to repay the favor!”

For some reason, Blossom felt a little disappointed when he turned her offer down.
