Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3412

Hepburn exclaimed, “Mr. Cross, you can't say that. No matter what you become, as long as you don't turn against humanity, your heart remains human. To me, you are still human and a hero of our kind.”

Nathan stared at Hepburn.

Hepburn was fearless, her pretty face held high as she locked eyes with Nathan.

Nathan looked into Hepburn's resolute and devout eyes before saying slowly, “I trust you, but I don't trust Eugene IV, and nor do I trust the Curia. The actions of the Havik speak volumes.”

Hepburn was at a loss for words; she was unable to refute.

The restless power within Nathan had gradually calmed down. Now that he was able to control his body, he returned to his original human form, regaining his handsome appearance.

After regaining his human form, he glanced at Hepburn. “You've got what you wished for. Now you know the answer you've been seeking. Based on your exploitation of my trust, and the actions of Havik, I implore you, the members of the Curia, to refrain from appearing before me in the future. Otherwise, there will be consequences for you to bear.”

After saying that, Nathan walked toward the sedan and instructed Colin, “Let's go. Let her arrange for her own people to pick her up.”

Colin did not leave, however. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Cross, she knows your secret. Are you really going to let her go? She'll return to the Curia and reveal your secret. When that happens, whether it's the Curia or Wolfric, they'll likely use this as an excuse to cause trouble. You'll have no peace from then on—”

Nathan cut him off by saying, “Then what do you propose us to do? Kill her? I am infected with the blood virus, but I'm not a murderous maniac.”

Hepburn shuddered when she heard that.

Nathan was still the same magnanimous man as he was before.

Even when others were unkind, he would not be unjust.

Hepburn stared at Nathan's eyes, feeling guilty.

Given Nathan's character, whether he was a human or a vampire, his heart would remain undoubtedly kind.

The Curia should not have investigated Nathan. Doing so was pointless and counterproductive.

Upon hearing Nathan's words, Colin realized that Nathan did not want to indulge in unnecessary killing—that he did not want to kill Hepburn.

Thus, he sighed softly, got into the car, started the engine, and prepared to leave.

Nathan cast one final glance at Hepburn. His voice turned icy as he spoke, “Bear this in mind: I hold no aspiration to embody the role of a villain. If a day arrives when I assume that role, it will undoubtedly be the Curia's actions that have coerced me into it.”

With that said, he got into the car.
