Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 714

Zayn shouted after he finished speaking, "Someone come and take this scoundrel down!"

Almost none of the mercenaries at the scene could understand what he said... None except Hades.

Before he could give his men orders, the Cross Family's subordinates had already stepped out and rushed to strike Nathan.

The first person to move was Patrick Sullivan. This man had followed Zayn for twenty years and was a big help in establishing what the Cross Family had become today. He was Zayn's right-hand man.

Though in his forties, Patrick remained strong and had a sharp look in his eyes. But before he managed to get close the target, Nathan spoke in a cold tone, "Patrick, never did I expect you to be the first one trying to end my life.

"Your father had brain tumor fifteen years ago, and the medical bills were immense. You went everywhere asking for help and begged everyone you saw, but none of your families and friends were willing to lend you a hand. It was my kind-hearted mother who took the initiative to help you settle the expenses and saved your father's life. How dare you take my life in front of my mother's grave now?"

Patrick went into shock upon hearing Nathan's words. His body jolted, and he immediately stopped moving.

The murderous vibe on his face faded, and it was replaced by guilt as he reminisced about the past.

He lowered his head in shame and murmured, "Master, I wouldn't dare."

Zayn widened his eyes after he saw what happened.

Nathan continued to stare at other subordinates surrounding Zayn indifferently and said in an aloof tone, "Simon, you had a gambling addiction back then. You even embezzled a large sum of Zayn's funds, and lost every single cent. In furious, he wanted to chop your hands off. Who was the one pleaded so hard to make him spare you at that time?"

Simon, who was standing among the Cross Family's retainers, had a ghastly expression on his face. His lips trembled a little before he replied softly, "It was your mother, Mrs. Kemp, Master..."

Nathan nodded and looked at the rest of the people while he recited every single thing his mother did to help them in the past.

All of them who had served in the Cross Family for at least ten or twenty years was humiliated by Nathan and drooped their heads. Every single one of them lost their will to finish him off.

Zayn was utterly dumbstruck by the turn of events.
