Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 400

The Assassin continued to grin viciously and prepared to step on Thomas' chest with more force and kill him at once.

However, Terrence spoke up at this moment, "The Assassin, don't kill him first. We need him as a bait to kill Nathan

Cross.”

The Assassin turned his head slowly and gazed at Terrence coldly. It was obvious that he was unhappy with Terrence's interference.

Terrence's expression changed drastically under his gaze. Zucker hurriedly added, "The Assassin, don't forget that Mr. Turner instructed you to help us. You have to listen to us in this matter."

Only when he heard Mr. Turner's name did viciousness slowly fade from The Assassin's gaze. His entire look turned rather dumb again.

He slowly lifted his foot off Thomas' chest and waddled away.

Terrence and Zucker breathed a sigh of relief. The Assassin was a killing machine, so if they weren't careful, he might even destroy them as well.

At the Riverside Garden, Nathan was putting his daughter to bed.

Penny and Benson were in another room looking after Leah. Leah had caught a cold after she was stuck in the rain when she was out buying groceries today.

After taking the cold medicine, she felt slightly better.

She hadn't eaten anything at night, so she said weakly, "Benson, I want the pea soup from that shop just outside of Riverside Garden as supper."

Although Benson was a meek, law-abiding soul, he cared greatly about his wife. So he said immediately, "I'll go buy it for you. I think the shop is still open.”

But Penny said, "Dad, just stay at home and take care of Mom. I'll get the soup for her."

Then, she left the house by herself.

She bought the pea soup from the shop just outside of Riverside Garden and turned to go back home.

Before she could enter Riverside Garden, a MPV drove up and blocked her path.

A few people jumped down from the car, with a seductively-dressed woman in the lead.
