Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 852

Everyone at the scene heard Declan Roger's words and shifted their attention towards Nathan Cross.

Even the dumbest person in the room would have known that Declan's words were directed at Nathan.

Nathan was completely aware that Declan's words were directed at him.

Jedediah Zinke had awkwardness written all across his face, while Jarelle was secretly enjoying the scene that unfolded in front of her.

Nathan smiled and responded calmly, "Declan is right. Today's my mentor's sixtieth birthday. As his student, I should have bought a present. In fact, I should have prepared something big."

Declan and Jarelle could not help but let out a cold snort at Nathan's words. They wanted to mock Nathan for saying that he should have prepared something big for Jedediah when he was the one who had arrived, empty-handed.

Nathan did not wait for the two of them to make a response, before he took out his phone in front of everyone and dialed for Colin, "In ten minutes' time, I want Dayan Zwaine's jewelry shop transferred under my name. I intend to give it to my teacher as his birthday gift."

Boom!

The gossip mill, which consisted of the crowd in the room, started to grind after Nathan Cross had spoken his words.

Everyone started to discuss what they had just heard. It had already been very impressive of Declan to buy a ten-pound 24-karat golden pig for Jedediah, but now Nathan said that he wanted to step up the game, buying the entire jewelry shop of Dayan Zwaine as a present for his teacher?

Jarelle started to laugh in disbelief, "Hahaha! What? You don't even have a job. How can you afford the whole of Dayan Zwaine's jewelry shop? You should learn to be a better liar instead, hahaha!"

Declan carried mockery in his tone as he jeered at Nathan, "Are you aware of the net worth of Dayan Zwaine's jewelry shop?"

"It is worth around eighty million!"

"Do you not have the least bit of shame in you, beggar? How dare you boldly claim that you will have Dayan Zwaine's jewelry shop under your name in ten minutes?"

Everyone at the scene was throwing an unfathomable gaze at Nathan. They were all whispering to one another about how Nathan Cross was a big, fat liar who probably had nothing up his sleeves.

Even Jedediah had gotten embarrassed by the situation. He whispered to Nathan, "Nat, you didn't have to do that. If you don't have the money to buy me a present, it's fine. I don't mind it at all."

Nathan smiled in return, "Sir if it wasn't for your kindness for taking me in, I might have already starved to death.” "It's your sixtieth birthday today. Since I have already promised you that I would buy you the entire jewelry shop of Dayan Zwaine, I definitely have to fulfill my promise."

Declan Roger and Jarelle Zinke, as well as the rest of the people in the room, laughed with a mocking tone. All of them were making a joke out of Nathan's shamelessness and total lack of self-awareness.
