Female Novel
Chapter 1253 Bullied By Pirates
Seeing that nobody believed him, Nathan could only laugh and come up with a random story,"Alright. It's actually because the lot from Demon's Lair is too brazen. Not only did they rob ourgoods, but they also extorted us. So, I told the city officials about the situation that we're up against.The city officials took the matter very seriously and reported it to the military. Who knew OdysseusBlackwood and his pirates would be wiped out just like that."
It finally registered to Penny and the rest about what had happened when they heard Nathan'sstory.
"The city officials really do look out for our company," Penny blurted out.
The general manager, Peggy Sharlton flashed a smile and said, "Of course they have to look out forus. The Cross Group is the nation's leading pharmaceutical company. Not to mention it also playsan important role in Channing's economic taxation. The officials won't just leave us to be bullied bypirates."novelbin
With Odysseus' arrest, Cross Group's crisis was also averted.
Penny ended the meeting and returned home with Nathan.
When they arrived home, they realized Benson, Leah, Kylie, and Queenie were also watching thenews.
When Benson saw Penny, he said excitedly, "Penn, do you remember the Pirate King, OdysseusBlackwood, the one who robbed our company's goods out in the open sea? He and hissubordinates have been arrested by the military!"
"That's right!” Penny replied with a grin, "Nathan promised me before that the pirates would bewiped out within a week. I thought he was just bragging then. Who knew that the officials actually
listened to his reports and wiped out those pirates."
Benson and Leah couldn't stop smiling when they heard this. They agreed unanimously that Nathanwas their family's lucky star and was able to turn all their misfortune into fortune.
Kylie, however, rolled her eyes and thought to herself, There's no way Nathan's that lucky. He musthave mobilized the army to wipe Odysseus and his men out. Even if he really did report it to theChanning officials, the military will have to go through a tedious approval process before they'reable to take action. There's no way they can move in so quickly!
After dinner, Penny, who was feeling depressed before, was now extremely relaxed.
She decided to take Kylie out on a shopping trip.
The two ladies drove to the Emerald Shopping Plaza, which was a famous shopping paradise inChanning.
The two of them visited many jewelry and clothing stores and left with numerous bags of varioussizes. They then stopped at the shopping plaza's open-air cafe for some drinks.
Suddenly, several SUVs with military car plates roared by, attracting the attention of
the surrounding passersby.
Even Penny and Kylie noticed the distinctive cars.
What they didn't expect was that these SUVs came to a halt on a street not far from where theywere.
A tall man dressed in a Major General's uniform exited the vehicle together with a few othersoldiers.
The people around exclaimed out loud, "Oh my, it's a general! He's still so young.”
"That's right. He must have some serious skills to be a Major General at such a young age."
"He's so handsome and amazing. It would be great if my future husband is as brilliant as he is."
After getting out of the car, the tall Major General scanned his surroundings before casting his eyesupon Penny and Kylie, who were still sitting at the cafe.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile as if he were a hunter who had just found hisprey.
He led his soldiers and headed in the direction of Penny and Kylie.
