Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3761

This time, Nathan came prepared, naturally having a firm grip on Hodges and the others.

The battle ended in no time.

Hodges' heart was shattered by a punch from Hepburn, causing him to die on the spot.

Hodges' companions, too, either surrendered or were killed.

Nathan saw that it was almost time.

He then stood up, issuing a cold command, “Max, I'm leaving you to handle the aftermath for these guys.”

Max's eyes lit up. “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Nathan took a step to leave, his voice cold as he ordered, “Hepburn, send Hodges' head to Moblan's residence. Give him a good scare, so he knows to behave.”

Hepburn said, “Yes!”

Nathan returned to Divine Palace on a private aircraft.

He just had a cup of coffee in the study when Hepburn arrived.

Hepburn reported, “Your Majesty, I have sent someone to present Hodges' head to Moblan. That guy seemed terrified and shocked, and extremely scared, as if he was afraid of being implicated. He repeatedly claimed his ignorance, saying that he failed to manage his disciples properly. He begs for your punishment.”

Nathan said calmly, “Hodges is his prized student. I don't believe he would be completely unaware of such a serious matter. However, we've already provoked Hodges, and now we have the Four Emperors causing trouble. With internal strife and external threats, it's really not suitable to mess with that old fellow anymore. After this scare, I reckon he'll behave himself for a while. Let's just let it slide this time!”

Hepburn said, “Yes!”

Then, she took out a delicate glass bottle, inside which was a vial of blue liquid.

Nathan let out a soft sigh. “All right, I understand.”

After saying that, he put away the bottle of blue blood from the table.

Such a small amount of blue blood wouldn't be enough to heal his old wounds. However, this vial of blue blood could act like a stimulant, allowing Nathan to suppress his old injuries and temporarily unleash a certain level of combat power.

It's better to be safe than sorry, I suppose!

Hepburn seemed a bit hesitant at the moment, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Nathan asked curiously, “What is it? Is there something else?”

Hepburn hesitated, then said, “You've handed over the job of dealing with the aftermath of the traitors like Hodges to Max. Max is competent, but he can be a bit too ruthless in his actions. To my knowledge, he has already taken his troops to raid the homes of the traitors. I'm afraid he's about to stir up a bit of a bloody storm again. I'm concerned whether his actions might be excessive, or too ostentatious, not aligning with your directive to handle things discreetly?”
