Salute To The General

Chapter 1054 Do You Still Want Me To Kneel

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Just as Morris Cross knelt down in front of Nathan, sounds of people shouting as well as orderlyfootsteps pounding on the ground could be heard from outside.

Soon enough, Fang appeared in his military uniform; he was followed by his squad and otherwarriors.

He marched in while ordering his men, "Surround this area. No living creature is allowed to leavewithout my permission. How dare this family try to hurt the General! It looks like they've gotten tiredof living!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Almost instantaneously, the Cross clan was boxed in by Fang's five thousand warriors.

Fang and his squad marched up to Nathan, where they stood to attention and saluted him."General!" they shouted, their voices booming with respect.

General?

When the Cross clan heard Fang and his squad address Nathan as such, they started tremblinguncontrollably.

This was especially the case for Morris, who was quaking so badly he was nearly flat on the ground.

Nathan looked at Fang in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Fang grinned. "We were running a drill with troops from Brimmopolis. The gist of it is that somethinghappened in Brimmopolis and they needed the North Army's assistance, so we'd come to take careof the opposing forces together. We finished the drill and were on our way back to the North viaJohnstone City when we received news that you are here and that the Cross clan has ill intentionstowards you. So, we came over as fast as we could."

Ah... So that's why.

Nathan nodded, then turned to instruct Fang, "Get all irrelevant people out of here."

Fang immediately had his squad round up the clan members and their subordinates, sequesteringthem to the front yard. All the dead and injured were carried outside, too.

Soon, Nathan, Colin, and Fang and his squad were left in the hall alongside Morris Cross.

Colin personally brought a chair over to Nathan, who casually sat himself down.

Nathan gazed at the trembling Morris kneeling before him. "Raise your head," he instructedmonotonously.

Morris had no choice but to do so. Huge beads of sweat had formed on his forehead; his face wasfilled with terror.

Nathan looked at him coldly. "Do you still want me to kneel before you?”

Morris shook like a leaf when he heard Nathan's question. He quickly went on the floor and bowed,knocking his head on the tile. With a trembling voice, Morris then squeaked, "General, I'm sorry. Iwas wrong! Since we're both Crosses and we're distant relatives, I'm begging you to give meanother chance!"

Nathan stared at him indifferently. "Do you know why I came to look for you personally?"

"Because we were dumb enough to offend you, General. We deserve any and all punishment!"

"Yes, you do. But other than the grudges between you and me, there's a more important reason."

Morris lifted his head slightly and looked at Nathan. "Another reason?" he asked tentatively, "I reallydon't know how else I've offended you, General. Please enlighten me."

"Do you remember The Omniscience?"

With pupils dilating in disbelief, Morris stared at Nathan as fear completely engulfed him. Morris wasabout to instinctively deny any knowledge of his involvement with The Omniscience when his eyesmet Nathan's cold, omnipotent gaze.

He quickly averted his gaze and lowered his head again. "Yes, I do."

"You joined The Omniscience?"

Morris clenched his teeth. "Yes. When we first expanded our business overseas, we were regularlymet with unfair treatment. Someone told us that if we joined The Omniscience, we wouldn't beostracized or bullied anymore, so...”novelbin
