Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 71

As he heard this, the man went on his knees again. He kowtowed to Lightning profusely as he begged, "Lightning, please let me go. I was late for an hour because I was trying to gather enough money to return to you..."

Without a tinge of sympathy, Lightning said in a coarse voice, "You have to be credible if you want to survive in this world. Do what you've promised to. Come, bring him to the balcony and toss him down from here."

Instantly, the man turned pale. He started to scream in an agonizing manner but was quickly dragged away by a few monstrous-looking men.

Meanwhile, Lightning looked towards Joseph Myers and the Smith brothers. He asked nonchalantly, "What are you three doing here?"

Joseph replied cautiously, "Lightning, something's happened to your brother in Channing. We are here to tell you what had happened."

Upon hearing this, Lightning's expression turned drastically. At the same time, a blood-curdling scream could be heard from outside the window.

The bespectacled man fell from the balcony and the next thing they heard was a loud sound before the scream stopped.

The trio turned as pale as a sheet.

Lightning continued with sharp eyes and a cold tone, "What's happened to my brother?"

"He was killed by Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn," Joseph Myers cringed and muttered in a soft voice.

The Mastiff let out a howl at this.

Lightning, who had his hand on its head earlier, clenched his fingers upon hearing Joseph's words, crushing the Mastiff's head.

The Mastiff let out a howl and died on the spot.

Gradually, a murderous expression appeared on Lightning's face. Even the surrounding air had turned cold.

He stared at the trio and asked, "Are you telling me the truth?"

Joseph Myers had no choice but to explain, "Yes. Nathan and your brother had a grudge because of a construction project. He found Thomas Dunn, the underworld lord in the Eastern District, and joined forces with him to kill your brother. Now, Dunn has taken over all of your brother's business."

Lightning's face clouded over in a gloomy manner. Nobody knew whether he was speaking to the trio, or merely thinking to himself when he said, "Who the f*** is Thomas Dunn to kill my brother? I will never let him off."
