Salute to the General novel Chapter 572

Beneath the blistering sun, at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Hector was kneeling on the boiling hot concrete ground, trembling and sweating profusely.

He had been kneeling at the entrance of the cafeteria for a full hour ever since he regained consciousness.

His legs were already numb from kneeling, and his knees were bleeding, the blood staining his pants a crimson red.

However, despite the extreme torture, he didn't dare to get up.

He had spread rumors and slandered the general. This offense alone was enough for Major-General Wilson to put ten bullets into him.

Thus, he could only kneel at the entrance of the cafeteria to wait for Nathan and Franklin to come out after eating, then beg Nathan to spare his life.

Just when Hector felt like he couldn't take it any longer and was going to faint, Nathan and Franklin finally came out of the cafeteria with a few national guards trailing behind.

When Franklin saw Hector, he gave a cold snort. "It seems like you've finally learned your lesson, huh? Where did all that righteousness and confidence go?"

The sight of the two generals instantly revitalized Hector as he saw this as a chance to escape death.

He repeatedly kowtowed before Nathan, and spoke in a croaky voice, "General, I was blind and foolish for challenging your authority. Please, forgive me just this once!"

"Was it the Griffins and the Jacksons who sent you here?" Nathan asked indifferently.

Hector shook his head and truthfully said, "No. The Griffins and Jacksons are quite influential in the East, but not so much that we're willing to do them favors. It was the

Lunds who asked me to come."

Nathan was quick to understand the situation.

It turned out that it was the president of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce, Todd Lund, who wanted to get Damon and Denise out, and he was planning to take control of the South.

Franklin snorted. "What's so great about the Lunds that they dare to come and cause trouble in the South? And you've even become their accomplice in this?"
