Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 997

After confirming that Colin, the Elite Eight, Thunderstorm, Waves and the Eighteen Riders of the North were unscathed in the incident, Nathan ordered, "It's time to go home!"

Nathan got into the car. The riders escorted him as he continued his journey back home.

Penny and Grace had been hiding in the car all this while, and Colin and Elite Eight protected them by blocking their views. Hence, they did not know what happened outside the car.

They thought they were doomed!

The turn of events was totally unexpected.

A group of riders came to Nathan's rescue, and Kingsley and his men also retreated accordingly.

Penny was surprised and confused. "Nathan, why did they let us go?"

Grace also gave him a puzzled look.

Nathan grinned. "Did you notice the Eighteen Riders of the North? They're my men who came to support us. They warned Kingsley that they're at the nation's borders. If the Volkians dare to harm the citizens there, the military troops at the border would come and destroy them. The Volkian soldiers were so terrified that they ran away.”

Grace was dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"

Penny heaved a sigh of relief, "So it was our nation and the troops at the border who protected us from the enemies. We should be grateful to our nation and our soldiers."

Grace nodded in agreement. "I feel so proud of being a citizen of this nation."

When Nathan and the others arrived at the borders, the military troops from the South were on standby to welcome their return.

They then got on a military helicopter, headed toward Alberesque in the South, and took another flight back to Channing.

Attending a medical conference in Volk was a horrifying experience. To Penny and Grace, they felt fortunate to have cheated death.

Though both of them had successfully returned to the country, they believed they would have been on the Volk government's wanted list by now.

Unexpectedly, the Volkians issued them a letter of apology when they arrived in the country.

According to the letter, they admitted they had arrested Penny and Grace by mistake and apologized to them publicly. The Volkian government would also like to compensate them an amount of money.

Though the compensated amount was just a few thousands, they seemed sincere in their apology.

Hence, Penny and Grace accepted!
