Salute To The General

Chapter 1244 We Will Figure It Out Within Three Days

Odysseus frowned and asked, "What's wrong? I thought they had been dispatched along with someof our men to infiltrate the South? They are supposed to go after Nathan in Channing, right?”

In return, Typhon replied with a bitter smile on his face, "According to our intel, Cyclops, Squale,and the men they brought with them had been completely wiped out. It seems like they couldn't takeNathan out. Instead, they had been taken out by Nathan."novelbin

"What?" Odysseus' eyes widened in shock as he expressed his disbelief. "Cyclops and Squale hasbeen by my side for years. They are part of the Seven Kings of Demon's Lair as well. They are, byno means, weak at all. How the hell did they lose the fight against Nathan?"

As soon as Typhon heard Odysseus' words, he explained, "Boss, Mr. Westwood used to be the rearadmiral of the navy. He's quite a capable man as well, but he has actually come to us for help ingetting rid of Nathan. This shows that Nathan isn't as weak as we have perceived him to be.""You're right! It seems like I might have underestimated Nathan's capability!" Odysseus nodded andasserted.

"What should we do next, boss?" Typhon and the remaining Seven Kings of Demon's Lair asked.

"I believe it's time for me to infiltrate Channing personally since we have a deal with Mr. Westwood.Apart from that, we can't possibly allow Cyclops and Squale, who were two of our importantcomrades, to die in vain. I'll definitely avenge them and kill Nathan.” Odysseus snorted once hefinished his sentence.

However, Typhon and the rest of Odysseus' underlings were dismayed upon hearing their leader'sannouncement.

As Typhon couldn't hold himself back, he tried to persuade Odysseus, "Boss, I don't think it'snecessary for you to go after him personally. After all, he's just one man."

The remaining Kings of Demon's Lair went along with Typhon and said, "He's right, boss! Whatshould we do if the navy decides to come after us once you're away?"

"We have been staying away from those from this particular nation throughout the years. I don'tthink they will pick on us. Besides, we're currently working for Mr. Westwood. I'm sure you guys areaware he used to be the rear admiral of the navy, right? Even if the navy comes after us, I'm sureMr. Westwood will take care of it on our behalf," Odysseus reassured his underlings.

Typhon and the rest of the pirates could only nod and acknowledged their leader's suggestion.

Suddenly, Typhon asked once more, "Boss, how many of us are you bringing with you? I'm sureyou'll need a few of us to go after Nathan with you, right?"

Odysseus gave it a thought and replied, 'Til have Orque, Puolpe, Mouette, and Croc to go afterNathan with me. Apart from that, I'll get a hundred elites to tag along as well."

The chosen ones amongst the Seven Kings of Demon's Lair replied synchronously, "Yes, sir!"

Once Odysseus made up his mind, he turned around and ordered, "Typhon, you'll stay behind andtake charge of the ship. I want you to lead everyone and disguise the ship as an ordinary freighter.Infiltrate the sea near Channing and be on standby once we depart."

"Yes, sir!” Typhon replied.

Two days later, the members from the senior management of Cross Group gathered around in aconference room in Channing at the South.

They were having a rough time as they tried to decide on the next best course of action.

It turned out that half an hour ago, the region's most renowned pirate, Odysseus, had sent his mento Cross Group. They demanded Cross Group to pay a toll worthy of ten billion.

The underling of Odysseus made himself clear that those from Demon's Lair would stay away fromCross Group's cargo in the future should they pay the toll as demanded.

Otherwise, the pirates from Demon's Lair would plunder everything Cross Group had whenever theytry to send their cargo via the sea.

Therefore, the members of Cross Group's senior management were in the middle of a heateddiscussion to decide the next best course of action.

Some of the members suggested giving in to the pirates' demand. After all, their employees' safetyand wellbeing should come first.

However, there were a few members who were against the idea of paying the toll. They wouldrather use air freight in the future at a higher premium rather than giving in to the pirates' absurdrequest.

There were another few who suggested getting in touch with the cops and procuring aids throughlegal means.

Naturally, there were several who were against the idea of getting in touch with the cops becausethey were afraid the pirates would be infuriated, let alone getting rid of them once and for all.

Just as everyone was quarrelling with each other, Nathan made his way into the conference room.

Penny was having a hard time deciding the next best course of action as well and her eyesgleamed the moment she saw Nathan. Immediately, she told Nathan about her concerns and askedhim, "You're the chief advisor of Cross Group. What should we do next? We have to secure the bestinterest for the company.”

The moment Nathan heard the details, he had made up his mind. He couldn't believe Odysseus hadthe audacity to show up at their doorstep to threaten them after they had stolen from Cross Group.

Nathan smirked and assured his wife, "My advice is to give them nothing. Instead,

we'll get rid of them once and for all!"

Penny and the members of senior management were appalled by the man's arrogant remark.

After all, even the navy couldn't get rid of Odysseus and the pirates from Demon Lair's, yet Nathanhad the guts to defy and pick on them.

They found Nathan's plan absurd because it seemed too good to be real.

Seeing everyone's doubtful eyes, Nathan reassured them, "The words that I have uttered are allfacts and within three days, you'll be able to see for yourself whether I'm telling the truth or not.”
