Salute to the General novel Chapter 724

In the living room of the Lane family home.

The patriarch of the Lane family, Liam Lane, was discussing matters with his family and trusted subordinates.

His tactician, Wayne Croaker, spoke up in a gentle tone, "Sir, Penny Smith and Nathan Cross of Cross Group have arrived in Cledondale. They want to meet with you tomorrow morning at Springfield to talk about the business cooperation contract."

Liam had been looking forward to this cooperation with Cross Group.

If everything went smoothly and the Lane family was put in charge of the sales of the liver cancer vaccine in Northania, then the immense profit that came from that would be theirs.

Before Liam could get too worked up about the arrival of Nathan and Penny, his other right-hand man, Phillip Lane, snorted.

"Cooperation? More like they're coming here to die!"

Wayne was the brains while Phillip was the brawns. Together, they were Liam's most trusted men.

Phillip's words stunned everyone.

Furrowing his brows, Liam asked, "Phillip, what do you mean by that? The Crosses are here on behalf of Cross Group to discuss a business deal with us. It's a winwin situation for both sides if this deal goes through. Why would you say they're coming here to die?"

There was a solemn look on Phillip's face when he replied, "Sir, I just received news that Jonathan is dead. Nathan Cross killed him.”

Jonathan Lane was one of Liam's many sons. He was a notorious playboy and was always stirring up trouble, something that Liam was deeply unsatisfied with.

Despite that, he was still Liam's son. The younger man had been missing for several days now and he had sent men out to look for news.

He had not expected to hear that his son was dead, and at the hands of Nathan.

Everyone was startled at this piece of news. Liam leaped to his feet as fury flashed in his eyes. "Phillip, are you sure? My son has no grievances with them; why would Cross kill him?"
