Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 932

"Mr. Cross, President Smith, why are you here?" Grace asked in surprise.

She was obviously bewildered to see them there.

Nathan shot her a smile and replied, "When you dashed past us after receiving that phone call, I guessed that something must have happened. So we decided to follow you."

Penny nodded. "Are you okay, Professor Hampton?"

Although tears still shone in her eyes, Grace forced herself to nod. "I'm fine. But my dad..."

It was only then that Penny and Nathan noticed the kneeling Anthony.

Penny turned pale when she spotted the dismembered ear lying on the floor, along with the blood, staining Anthony's body. "Oh my god!"

Nathan frowned before focusing his gaze on Jerry. "The Barton family again? Is

there no end to you cockroaches?”

Lounging back against the sofa, Jerry picked up a glass of champagne from the side table.

There was an ambiguous smile on his lips when he uttered, "I had originally planned on taking care of you, one by one.

However, since you're both already here, I might as well settle everything in one fell swoop."

"What do you want from us?” Penny demanded cautiously.

Jerry sipped from his champagne, taking his time before he stated, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance! Both of you have offended the Barton family. Normally, the consequence of that would be death. However, I'm giving you a way out now. I want two things from you... The liver cancer vaccine and the special meds. If you hand them over to the Barton family unconditionally, I'll let both of you off the hook."

Penny and Grace were absolutely furious when they heard that. They knew the Barton family held ownership of close to seventy percent of the pharmaceuticals in the nation.

What they had not expected was the extent of the family's greed. Now, the Bartons were even coveting the liver cancer vaccine and the special meds.
