Salute to the General novel Chapter 749

When Xander and the rest heard Werner, they felt conflicted.

They realized that he had gathered everyone to force them to pick a side.

Should they choose Cross or Lupin?

Werner's gaze fell on Xander Lane. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Lane, you're a highly respected and influential man in Cledondale. Why don't you state your stance first? Do you stand with Cross, or with me?"

He knew that the Lanes had a conflict with Nathan recently. As Xander created a ruckus at the Wates family's wedding, the mayor, Kenny Wates, imprisoned Xander for twenty-four hours and only released him today.

Hence, Werner was certain that he hated Nathan and would side with him unhesitatingly.

As long as Xander took the lead, the rest would not dare to collaborate with Cross Group. Hence, his objective would be met.

However, what surprised him was Xander's unequivocal reply, "I choose to side with Mr. Cross!”

"Like what we have said earlier, the Lane family is extremely apologetic for the troubles we have caused Mr. Cross. To atone our mistakes, we desperately hope to collaborate with Cross Group, even taking no profits."

What?

The Lanes actually sided with Nathan Cross! They wanted to please him without requesting anything in return. Even if they had to forgo any profits, they still wanted the collaboration!

Werner became infuriated instantly!

His expression turned grim as he glared at the Lanes. "Mr. Lane, let me give you another chance. I hope you can make your choice carefully."

Xander met Werner's gaze calmly. "Mr. Lupin, even if you tell us to choose a hundred times, our answer will remain the same. We stand with Mr. Cross."

Fury overwhelmed Werner!

His gaze turned cold, and a terrifying, murderous vibe exuded from his body. The atmosphere turned chilly instantly.

Everyone could not help but cower as chills ran down their spine.

In his fury, Werner forced a smile. Staring at the Lanes viciously, he smirked, "Good. Very good! Looks like the royal Lupin family has been staying too low these few years if people are ignoring us directly. You've probably forgotten that there will be bloodshed for angering the royal family!"

The Lanes started sweating. Fear appeared in their eyes.

However, despite knowing that he had offended Werner, Xander refused to change his stance.
