Salute to the General novel Chapter 2044

Nathan calmly stated, “You don't need to know who I am, but I guess you knew the reason you're here.”

Yardley shook his head, “No, I don't. Do you know that restricting a person's freedom is against the law?”

Nathan chuckled, “Then, do you know that cheating an elderly person is also against the law? You must have known the abstract painting which you swindled off that elderly person was priceless. Taking the amount into consideration, I suppose you would be spending the remainder of your life behind bars.”

Yardley gulped, “I don't know what you're talking about.”

Nathan snickered, “The fact that I could find you had already proven my ability.

“If you're smart, you'll hand over the abstract painting now.

“You could at least avoid some physical pain this way. I'll give you a chance and not send you to prison."

Yardley's glances darted about the room nervously.

Yet, he stubbornly refused to give in.

He put on a brave front. “Look, I really don't know what you're talking about.

“You can't scare me into submission. I'm not afraid of your threats.”

Nathan remarked, “It looked like you don't appreciate my generosity.

Colin!”

Colin approached Yardley with a dark look on his face.

Yardley knew things were going south as Colin approached. The former asked fiercely, “What are you trying to do?”

Yardley waved a punch at Colin as terror and anger overwhelmed him.

Colin stopped his punch easily by grabbing his wrist.

Yardley let out a groan of pain at Colin's strong grip.

Colin gripped Yardley's finger with his right hand and started to twist the finger under the latter's fearful stare.

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking spread chills over everyone's back.

The sound reinstated the fact that Colin had broken Yardley's finger.

“Argh!” Yardley let out a painful scream.

Colin asked coldly, “Mr. Cross wants to know where the abstract painting is?”

Yardley was sweating profusely with his face scrunched up in pain, yet he refused to give up the location. “I really don't know any abstract painting!”

Fury overtook Colin at Yardley's persistence.
