Salute to the General novel Chapter 1420

When Mitchell saw how many people were here to visit Noel, he uttered respectfully, "Wow, Mr. Harbor. Your reputation precedes you. Look at how many of the Channing elites are eager to meet you! It would appear that at least most of them know who the Harbor family is, unlike that fool Nathan Cross. How impudent of him to beat up Fip like that!"

Speaking of Nathan Cross.

Recalling something, Noel swept his gaze around until he spotted Lily Smith and Matthew Marley. "Matthew, I remember you saying that you were relatives to Nathan Cross and Penny Smith. You also promised that you would get him to break his own limbs and her to become a slave to the family voluntarily. How did that go? Why aren't they here now to ask for forgiveness?"

The couple exchanged awkward glances before Matthew stammered out, "Mr. Harbor, they were insolent and didn't know what was good for them. Not only did he reject our advice, but he also spouted some audacious claims!"

Noel narrowed his eyes. "Such as?"

"He said he didn't need our help and that the Harbors are insignificant in his eyes. He said he would deal with everything himself," Matthew muttered.

Immediately, Noel's face darkened, and he growled, "Did he mean he would deal with me, or the Harbor family in general?"

Mitchell quickly smiled and attempted to defuse the older man's anger, "Mr. Harbor, there's no need to get so angry! Ignorance is bliss. Maybe he finally knows how powerful the Harbors are now that you're here? Also, the Elite Club members are here as well. He's probably quaking in his shoes by now!"

"Hahaha..."

Everybody chortled in glee at the thought.

Just as they were lost in their imagination of how terrified Nathan would be, the hotel manager, Wallace, came hurrying inside.

In a courteous voice, Wallace informed,

"Mr. Harbor, there's a gift for you again."

Noel's tone was decidedly unhappy when he replied, "Didn't I already tell you I did not want to be disturbed and to accept the gifts then send the people away?"

"But the gift came from Nathan Cross. His messenger said I had to let you receive the present right this instant," Wallace explained.
