Salute to the General novel Chapter 60

At that moment, a man in a black leather jacket walked toward the four men.

His face was anxious as he whispered, "Boss, there's some news from the police."

Not noticing the look on his underling's face, Harry asked smugly, "What is it? Are Cross and his wife conceding defeat and paying us the thirty million?"

His underling lowered his head further as he muttered, "No, they were released. Carl and the other boys have been arrested and are going to be punished heavily for their crimes.”

Dumbfounded, Harry shouted, "What? Call Harold! Get me an explanation, now! Is he f****** with me?"

His underling replied bitterly, "Harold Lee has been demoted and exiled to Buffalo Hill; he can't exactly help anyone right now. Plus, Cross had them deliver a message for you, Boss."

Not expecting things to take a turn for the worse so quickly, he snarled, "What did he

say?"

Steeling himself, the underling answered, "He said that you had to reimburse them thirty million or he'll destroy us."

Harry roared, "Insolent b******l" This sudden news was ruining all his well-laid plans!

Joseph and the Smiths were also taken aback.

Joseph frowned as he said unhappily, "Leigh, what's the meaning of this?"

Frustrated, Harry had the underling bring him his phone. He wanted to call Harold and ask just what the hell had happened.

The call was picked up immediately.

Just then, Harold was packing up his belongings dejectedly as he prepared to leave for his new post.
