Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 680

Someone I need to look up to!

Gladius was taken aback when he heard that, but he immediately broke out into a cold smirk. "Haha. You're even better at boasting now! I'm the favored son of the Cross Family, and I am set to inherit trillions in assets! What about you? You're just a loser who's gotten out of the army, so why should I look up to you?"

An expression of anger showed on Penny's face when she heard that, yet she still looked at Nathan anxiously because she was scared that his pride might be hurt.

However, Nathan seemed unfazed as he smiled in amusement when he looked at Gladius as if he were watching a circus show.

Gladius suddenly burst in rage as he accused coldly, "Nathan Cross, you probably think that you're hot s***, now that you've married the president of the hugely successful Cross Group, right?"

Nathan grinned and replied, "Haha. Perhaps."

It was obvious that Gladius did not think much about Nathan. He looked at Penny and smiled. "President Smith, you're the goddess of the South's business world, so why are you wasting your life on someone like him?"

Penny was already wary of Gladius because she had uncovered that he was Nathan's half-brother and he had some bad blood with Nathan.

Now that Gladius kept mocking Nathan, she could not help herself anymore as she blurted out coldly, "Excuse me. I don't have to explain our marriage to an outsider! I thought that Jared was genuinely introducing a business partner to the Cross Group, but it turns out that it was all just a ruse. There's no need for a meeting anymore. Hubby, let's go!"

Penny could not stand Gladius humiliating her husband, so she tugged Nathan's hands furiously in an attempt to leave.

However, Gladius took a sip of red wine and grinned. "Please hold on, Ms. Smith!"

Penny stopped in her tracks, turned around, and asked coldly, "What else do you want?”

Gladius chuckled. "According to my knowledge, the Cross Group is mainly based in the South's market, and you want to venture into Northania, but you don't have the means to do that. If you're willing to have a meal with me, we can talk things out while we eat, and I promise you that I can help you solve this problem. I guarantee that your products can enter the Northania market smoothly without any obstacles."

As Gladius made his suggestion, he deliberately pointed at Nathan and mused, "But I have one condition. He needs to wait outside the hotel as we discuss things."
