Salute to the General novel Chapter 32

Dan Hugh was terrified by Nathan Cross and his forces, yet it did not change the fact that he had mercilessly ended countless lives.

Even so, he almost went berserk when Nathan Cross slapped him, though the malicious glint in his eyes disappeared as quickly as it came.

He covered his face with his hands and lowered his head in silence.Fine, I'll let you have your way this time. I'm probably only going to get three years in jail for disrupting public order anyway, he thought.

I'll come back to haunt you in three years' time.

Nathan Cross's lips curved upwards as he looked at Dan Hugh. "Let me guess, you're thinking about how you're going to come back and murder my family after a couple of years of jail for disrupting public order?"

Dan Hugh looked up in shock, yet he refused to admit it. "I wouldn't dare..."

Nathan Cross glared at Dan Hugh and scoffed, "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not. Just forget about ever getting a chance to do that."

Dan Hugh shivered when he heard those words, as though he had come to a kind of realization. "I know you're rich and powerful and all, but you can't punish me for private matters in front of everyone here!" He yelled desperately.

He suddenly turned to the workers from Cross Corporation and the passers-by and yelled, "He's punishing me for private grudges! Hurry up and record this! I need someone to be my witness!”

"He wants me to die for disrupting public order! If something happens to me, someone has to seek justice for me!”

Nathan Cross glanced at Dan Hugh, who was still shouting like a clown. "Are you done?"

Dan Hugh froze, before giving a frightened look to Nathan Cross.

"I don't even want to try counting the number of crimes you've committed over the years. It's probably enough to get you the death penalty ten times over anyway. Too bad you ended up in

Dan Hugh went pale at the sound of that. His eyes were filled with fear, yet he continued to struggle against reality. "I don't know what you're talking about. Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"Blackmail?"

Nathan Cross scoffed, "Do I need to? I can dig out all your crimes with just one phone call," he announced, before calling Colin Dunne to his side.
