Salute to the General novel Chapter 40

Joseph Myers stared at Schulz and Jacobson incredulously. "Y-you came to deliver wine to Nathan Cross?" He stammered.

Everyone else in the room were shocked as well.

The richest man in Channing, together with the leader of the inspection authority for food and medicine, had taken it upon themselves to deliver wine to Nathan Cross.

How powerful was Nathan Cross, really?

"That's right. We're here to deliver this wine to Mr. Cross. Where is he?" Schulz asked.

"That would be me,” answered Nathan Cross, smiling.

The crowd immediately closed in on him, and Schulz carefully handed over the wine in his hands like they were some kind of treasure. "Mr. Cross, I heard that you'd wanted some top-quality La Romanee-Conti, so allow me to present this bottle to you. It's from 1990, and I've kept it for a

long time."

Zachary Schulz and Henry Jacobson had received a call from an officer named Colin Dunne who had asked them to bring a bottle of La Romanee-Conti to Mr. Cross.

When they heard that this Mr. Cross had served as the Captain under the General of the National Guards and was well-loved by the General, they immediately set off with the bottle of wine in tow.

Nathan Cross took the wine that Zachary Schulz handed over and studied it for a couple of seconds. "Mr. Schulz, Mr. Jacobson, you came just in time. Joseph Myers was boasting about his bottle of La Romanee-Conti just now, so I would really appreciate it if you could help me determine if it's a counterfeit or not."

Joseph Myers' face paled the moment Nathan Cross said that.

Zachary Schulz frowned. "There were only seven thousand, four hundred and forty bottles of La Romanee-Conti produced in 1990. I highly doubt that many of them still exist now, since it's been three decades. I collect top-tier wine for a hobby, so if there really is another bottle of 1990 La Romanee-Conti, then it would definitely be in my wine cellar."

"I don't even need to look at that bottle to know that it's fake.”
