Salute to the General novel Chapter 684

Gladius' subordinates immediately snapped out of their shock as Centaur exclaimed in agitation, "Protect Mr. Cross!"

A few dozen nimble guards instantly gathered around Gladius and formed a protective shell around him.

At the same time, the few hundred men on the deck outside rushed in as well.

Some of them were armed with batons while some of them were holding onto katanas. Some even wielded pistols in their hands.

Their leader, a man with a stubble, shouted viciously, "Kneel down! We'll kill those we don't follow our orders!”

The guests immediately kneeled down in horror, and in no time Nathan, Penny, Kylie, Colin, and the rest were the only ones standing.

Blood drained from Penny's face out of fear, and even Kylie started to panic.

While all this transpired, Nathan still seemed calm and poised!

On the other hand, Colin secretly started to tense up because he saw that some of the ruffians were armed with guns.

Two pistols were stuck in his back pocket and they were each loaded with thirty bullets because he was the Master Sharpshooter in the South's military for three years in a row.

He stood motionless and he seemed calm, but actually, his body was already as tense as a wound-up spring.

His eyes were like two radars scanning through the crowd and identifying the most dangerous people. Besides that, he was also calculating the best way to eliminate all those threats in as short of a time as possible.

Gladius hid behind a few dozen of his guards and stared at Nathan, before saying in shock, "Who would've thought that you'd be so skilled in fighting? You'd even managed to kill one of the Five Beasts, Minotaur, from the Cross Family.

No wonder you were so pompous earlier! Haha. Unfortunately for you, we're on a cruise ship in the middle of the sea, and this cruise ship is filled with several hundred of my men. They are armed with guns and batons, and there are also ten guns in the mix. Regardless of how powerful you are, you surely can't fight against several hundred men and ten pistols at once! Kneel down and beg me for forgiveness, and maybe I'll grant you a painless death. Who knows? I might even spare your wife's and her cousin's life!"

Penny's face turned deathly pale as she clenched her teeth and proclaimed, "Nathan, don't beg him for mercy. If we die, we'll die together!"
