Salute to the General novel Chapter 53

Hanging up, Harry turned to Joseph and said smugly, "Director Harrison told me that Nathan Cross has no other backer other than Thomas Dunn. Luckily, I know for a fact that Dunn's father has recently passed away. This means that he's gone back home to handle the funeral. He won't be coming back anytime soon."

Joseph's eyes narrowed as he smirked widely. "That means that Nathan Cross will be alone and unprotected. Perfect! Mr. Leigh, looks like you can go all out when you teach those two wretches a lesson."

Laughing boisterously, Harry replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Myers. I'll definitely make them regret ever crossing you."

"Make sure to let them know that I'am the one behind their suffering. I want Penny Smith to come crawling as she begs me for mercy."

"Got it!"

With that, Joseph promised Harry that he would reward him thirty million upon getting the job done.

Incentivized, Harry called his right-hand man, Carl, over the next day.

Listening closely as his boss instructed him Carl nodded. "Okay, boss, I understand. I'll get it done.”

Today was a weekend, so the Cross family had decided to take a hike up Mount Blanc. Other than Nathan, Penny, and Queenie, his in-laws were coming along as well.

The family was having fun in the park near Mount Blanc when Penny received a call from Bob Hoffman, the head of the construction team.

The man's voice was panicked as he cried out, "President Smith, something's happened!"

"Bob, calm down! Tell me, what's happened?"

"When our demolition team was transporting the waste materials from the construction site, we were stopped by a group of people. Not only that, but the rest of our trucks were also forcefully detained by them. When the drivers tried to reason with them, they got beaten up for their troubles."

Penny frowned. "Who are these people and why are they blocking our trucks? Who gave them the right to detain our trucks and hit our people?"

"They say that they're residents on that street and they've accused us of destroying their road with our heavy trucks. They also blamed us for dropping a lot of trash and other waste materials as we've gone past. That's why they're forbidding us from using it. They say that if we dare to use their road again, they'll damage our trucks and beat up our men."
