Salute to the General novel Chapter 42

Early next morning, Nathan Cross and Penny Smith drove their daughter to her kindergarten as usual.

They parked their car near the entrance of the kindergarten and took their daughter to the gates personally, taking a moment to talk with her teacher about their daughter's behavior in school.

When they returned to their car afterwards, they were horrified to find that their beloved BMW M760Li xDrive had been smashed to pieces.

The rearview mirror, front lights and windows have all been reduced to glass shards that were strewn across the ground.

A crowd had formed around the broken car, their quiet chatters filling the air.

Nathan Cross' face darkened at the sight of that.

"What happened? Who did this to our car?" Penny Smith yelled desperately.

At that moment, Penny Smith's phone rang. It was an unknown number.

She frowned and answered the call, "Hello?"

"This is Ms. Smith, am I right? I'm sure you've noticed that your car's been destroyed, yes?" A male voice boomed from the other end of the line.

"You did it, didn't you?" Penny Smith screamed.

"I didn't say that," replied the man, scoffing.

Nathan Cross took her phone and pressed it against his ear. "Who are you?"

"Are you Nathan Cross? Well, it's not like you can do anything to me, so I'll just tell you who I am." The man sneered upon hearing Nathan Cross's voice. "I am John Miller, president of Juno Hotel.”

"Smashing your car is just an appetizer. If you don't go to Mr. Myers' place and ask for mercy within twenty-four hours, get ready to receive the full course," he

threatened.

"No need forthat. You'll be pleading formy mercy in half a day, or you'll be losing your business," warned Nathan Cross coldly.

"Haha! Losing my business in half a day? What a joke..."

Before John Miller could finish his sentence, Nathan Cross had already hung up.

After that, he called Mia, the manager of the BMW showroom, and told her to send an identical car over to replace his smashed one.
