Salute to the General novel Chapter 17

Nathan apathetically scanned the outlaws, "Get ready for combat. Open fire on anyone who attempts to flee!"

"Sir! Yes, sir!"

Another ear-shattering response.

Cobra became aware that this was the end of it. He finally understood what Nathan meant by a few hundred million - it was a few hundred million's worth of weapons and manpower.

Nathan strode over and lifted Queenie up.

He interrogated, "Who's behind this?"

Cobra confessed in a trembling voice, "A gangster called Blacky told us about this gig... We don't know the employer."

"Great.” Nathan replied in a frosty tone.

He then turned away with Queenie in his arms.

Colin closed in on Nathan and asked softly, "General, what do we do with

them?"

"Execute those scums.”

Colin saluted loudly, "Sir! Yes, sir!"

After Nathan left with Penny and Queenie, Colin looked down on the outlaws, who were all shivering at this point, "Any last words?"

Already on their knees, the men bowed their heads, "Please have mercy on us. We won't do it again!"

Colin kept a stone face, "I take it that you don't have any last words then."

It dawned upon Cobra that there was no escaping from this.

He looked up with hateful eyes, "Can you grant me a wish before I go? Tell me who Nathan Cross is."
