Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 649

Sean and the other members of the Smith family left Riverside Garden, all while cursing Nathan loudly.

There was a worried note to Sean's voice when he spoke, "Although Nathan has said that he would handle this matter, I'm still afraid that Bachok might decide that it's not enough, solely killing him. What if he insists on eliminating us as well?"

Samuel groaned in distress, "Dad, what do we do?"

Narrowing his eyes, Sean stated, "Remember how the commander-in-chief of Channing's military, Franklin Wilson, brought an army here to arrest the Griffin's when they were making things difficult for us?"

His son's eyes lit up in understanding. "Dad, are you saying that we should ask the commander for help again?"

"Exactly! No matter how powerful Bachok is, he's still only a warlord from Avalon. With the might of the Channing military behind us, there's no way that he would have the guts to touch a single hair on our heads!"

Everyone looked delighted at this prospect.

Without a second thought, they swiftly prepared some lavish gifts, before visiting the commander.

In no time at all, Franklin was receiving Sean and his entourage in his office.

Franklin took in the ostentatious looks on their faces, along with the pile of presents they had brought. His tone was indifferent when he asked, "Are you here for something?"

Sean did not beat around the bush, launching into an explanation of everything that had happened.

Finally, he twisted his face in a grimace as he pleaded, "Sir, I'm worried about Bachok coming after my family in his quest for vengeance. I hope that you can help us once again."

His words had Franklin commenting meaningfully, "Heh! You guys are really quite interesting. You have a veritable god in your own family, yet you come to beg for help from a minor deity like me. What a joke!"

The Smith's exchanged looks of confusion.

As the commander-in-chief of Channing's military, Franklin was not your average senior officer. Yet he thought himself a minor deity only? He'd also said that they had a god in their family.

Since when did the Smiths have such an outstanding person?

Samuel suggested uncertainly, almost like he could not even believe the words coming out of his own mouth, "Who in our family is so amazing? You don't mean Nathan, do you?"
