Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 688

Inside the home of the Cross family in Cledondale, Northania.

Zayn Cross had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday not long ago. He sat in his wheelchair, his face was livid with anger. Seated beside him was Helen Brown, who could not stop her crying.

Over hundreds of relatives and workers of the Cross Family stood around Zayn Cross and Helen Brown looking extremely solemn. All they could hear in the hall was Helen Brown's inconsolable cries.

This was because one hour ago, they received news about Gladius Cross' death. According to their sources, Gladius had died because he was plotting to kill Nathan Cross on the cruise. Unfortunately, he was caught red-handed by the maritime force that was undergoing a drill on the waters.

Hence, the maritime force shot him on the spot, thinking that he was a criminal.

Zayn Cross took a look at Helen Brown who was bawling her eyes out and murmured to her with a somber voice, "Please stop crying, your crying is stressing me out."

Helen Brown wept and accused, "Your son has been killed and all you can say is that you are stressed out? Well, my heart is shattered into pieces!"

Upon hearing that, he softened his tone and pronounced, "You know what? You hold partial blame in this matter. You shouldn't have spoiled him so much, turning him into a brat, thinking that he was above the law and that he was able to do anything he'd wanted. Look at what'd happened to him?"

Helen Brown cried out, "You heartless man! Your son is dead! Instead of wanting justice for him, all you're doing is criticizing him!"

Zayn Cross replied, "Justice? What justice? He was shot by the military!"

Helen Brown looked at him with teary eyes and wailed, "I was not referring to the military, I wouldn't have had the guts to take them down. All I know is that Nathan Cross was the cause of all this!"

"If Nathan Cross hadn't given you the Map of Hell for your birthday, and if he had not invited a group of people to mourn at your birthday, turning your it into a funeral-like event, our son would not have gotten angry and he would not have gone to seek revenge on Nathan Cross!"

"Our son died because of you! He'd wanted Nathan Cross to pay for what he'd done at your birthday! Nathan Cross was the cause of his death!"

Zayn Cross was baffled by her words. He had assumed that Gladius wanted to kill Nathan Cross because he was afraid that Nathan would return, taking over the Cross family.
