Salute to the General novel Chapter 1759

Nathan maintained his relaxed posture.

The Eighteen Riders held onto their bloodied blades and stood beside Nathan like eighteen demons from the deepest pits of hell.

Nathan's indifference and the Eighteen Riders' murderous vibe were a powerful visual impact to Leaser and his friends.

Swallowing his shock and fear, Leaser he steeled himself and said, “Bay, I'm sure you're well aware of my status and the terrifying power my family --

possesses.

Feeling more confident, he warned, “One word from my parents, and you'll be sent into a hellhole alongside your friends and family. You're quite competent, so why bother staying loyal to Nathan Cross? Why bother protecting his wife?”

Nathan's lips tugged upward slightly. “What are you trying to say, Goldstein?”

Leaser narrowed his eyes and announced loudly, “I admire your skills. If you agree to work for me, I won't just pardon you for injuring me, I'll even make sure you get the promotion you deserve.”

“You know who my father is, so you should know that I walk the talk.”

He squinted his eyes before continuing, “Join me, and your future will be filled with riches, glory and splendor. Go against me, and only death will await you and everyone you love. You look like a smart man. I trust that you know which is the better choice.”

The amusement gleaming in Nathan's eyes became more pronounced.

He turned toward the Eighteen Riders beside him and said, “He wants us to betray the General and the North Army to serve him instead. What do you guys think?”

Leaser thought Nathan was actually discussing with his eighteen fighters whether to jump ship and come on board with him.

His eyes lit up, thinking that things were turning to his favor.

Hence, he immediately added in a loud voice, “The eighteen of you actually managed to defeat more than two thousands of our men. I'm impressed by your strength and greatly admire all of you, so join me and stop following Cross.

“Very soon, my father will be elected as the new President, so Cross' days of glory are numbered. Things will not bode well for those of you who stay loyal to him.

“If you follow me, you won't just be paid handsomely, I can even guarantee all of you the opportunity to rise to at least a major-general rank.

“These are very generous terms, no?”

The moment Leaser finished speaking, everyone including Cole and Jayce expressed their admiration for him.

Everyone knew that the gap between a regular military officer and an army general was difficult to bridge.

Countless soldiers who had fought on the battlefield and dedicated their lives to serving the country might not even be able to earn the title of a general in the end.
