Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 763

After Preston had parked his car, he and Madam Helen went up along with their lackeys. Penny was worried, for she knew the bad blood between Madam Helen and Nathan ran deep, and she had heard of the Lupin family's power.

Penny looked at Nathan, concerned. "They said they've laid a death trap here for us. What should we do?”

"It's fine." Nathan smiled. "They're just trying to scare us. There are a lot of city officials and military leaders here. They can't just do whatever they want."

Penny thought he had a point, then she remembered that Nathan was friends with Kenny, so if something propped up, Kenny could save them. That thought made her ease up, but only for a bit.

Nathan told Colin and the Elite Eight, "Keep an eye out for enemies, and keep the madam safe."

"Yes, sir." They replied.

The event would be starting soon, and

Nathan knew it was time. "My stomach's acting up, so I'll need to use the restroom."

"Take two bodyguards with you." Penny suggested.

"It's fine.” Nathan grinned. "I was a soldier, and I can fight better than them, so bringing them is redundant."

Then Nathan left, but instead of going to a restroom, he went up the mountain.

Many among the crowd in Memorial Plaza were Preston's lackeys. They received orders to destroy Nathan and his entourage after the event had ended. There were eyes on Nathan all the time, and when Nathan had left, they thought he was escaping. But when they saw that he went up the mountain, they were stupefied.

Aside from political and military leaders, only a select few could ascend the mountain to join in the event with the leaders. That rascal is a nobody. He can't just barge in like that.

The leaders, generals, and celebrated figures in Cledondale congregated at the peak.
