Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 785

"Men, arrest them all!”

At Leon's order, the policemen approached Nathan and Colin with mean looks on their faces.

Nathan opened his mouth to speak but before he could, another group of men appeared outside the room.

This time, it was Zayn with the chief of police, Jason Wilks. Naturally, more policemen were with them.

Zayn's furious voice could be heard, even before he could be seen, "Who dares to arrest my son!"

Everyone stared at Zayn and Jason in astonishment.

Leon was quick to welcome his superior, "Chief, why are you here?”

Jason narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "If I didn't come, you would have made a mess of things!"

A terrified and lost look appeared on

Leon's face. "Sir, I..."

Snorting, Jason cut him off, "Mr. Cote Jr. was arrested because of unlicensed driving. He should have been detained for ten days, yet why was he released after only one? Did you order his release? Also, if I'm not mistaken, the current situation is that Mr. Cote Jr. tried to force himself on Mrs. Cross. However, the one whom you'd wanted to arrest is Mr. Cross and not him. What logic is that?”

Leon broke into a cold sweat, hemming, and hawing, unable to give him an answer.

Charlus was taken aback at Zayn's presence.

He had not thought that the other man would come, along with the chief of police too. With Jason around, Leon had no choice but to defer to him.

Noting Leon's submission, Charlus made his way over to Jason. "Mr. Cross, Chief Wilks, my son is in the wrong for tonight's events. Nonetheless, Nathan wants to break his legs and neuter him. Isn't that punishment too harsh?"

Jason nodded and suggested, "Yes, it is. How about both sides take a step back and compromise?"

Immediately, Charlus nodded. "I agree!"

Next, everyone turned their gaze on the Crosses, wondering what they would say.

Before Nathan could reply, Zayn grinned and replied, "Sure."
