Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 855

Huh? Declan was stupefied! Jedediah was dumbfounded! Jarelle was stunned! Every single guest was slack-jawed with surprise!

Just as everyone was puzzled at the scene, Jack quickly walked to Nathan and greeted him reverently with a bow, "Good day, Mr. Cross!”

Nathan stated in his usual, calm composure, "No, it is not a good day for me at all. It is supposed to be my teacher's birthday banquet, but both he and his daughter were insulted in public."

Jack turned around and gave Declan a stern stare.

Declan was scared to death and he began to stammer, "Mr... Mr. Gr...een. Who... Who is he?"

"He is Mr. Nathan Cross, whom even my boss, Mr. Thomas Dunn, has to attend to respectfully. How dare you behave so rudely to Mr. Cross and the Zinkes?" Jack yelled furiously.

"Someone come over now. Make this fellow kneel and apologize!"

A few men immediately stepped forward to carry out the instructions given.

Crack! Crack! Declan's legs were broken just like that. He shrieked, in extreme pain, as he fell miserably, kneeling down before Jedediah and Jarelle.

He cried as he begged for mercy, "Mr. Zinke and Jarelle, I know that I was wrong. Please, I beg you to forgive me. Please spare me and let me go... Please..."

Jarelle stared at the sobbing man in front of her with disbelief.

In a state of confusion, she remembered a similar situation, years ago when she was being bullied by a gangster. Nathan had battered the gangster without the slightest hesitation and consequently demanded that he kneel before her, begging for forgiveness. It was at that time when she started developing feelings for Nathan. She could not resist it and later confessed her feelings for him. Sadly, she was rejected. Since then, her love for him had turned into hatred.
