Salute To The General

Chapter 1298 I Have Given You The Chance

By now, realization dawned on Hagrid that the man sitting on the chair was Penny's husband.

However, he had already heard that Penny's husband was a kept man who was dependent on hiswife. Otherwise, they would not have targeted Penny.

He sneered at Nathan, "Nathan Cross, don't try to act tough in front of me."

"You should have heard about me, both the authorities and the underground societies showrespects to me, Hagrid Potter."

"You said you want to settle some affairs with me? Sure. Well, first off, since you killed my mostprofitable artiste, you must compensate me with ten billion and we shall write off this matter."

"Otherwise, get ready to pay with your life and that CEO wife of yours will be widowed!"

Upon hearing his words, Nathan shook his head. "You've misunderstood me!"

"When I said about settling affairs, I wasn't talking about compensating you for your loss."

Hagrid glared at him and said angrily, "Then what do you mean by settling affairs?"

Nathan said flatly, "You tried to violate my wife. As such, every one of you will leave a hand behind. Ithink this punishment is reasonable, no?"

What?

Hagrid and his men widened their eyes in astonishment. They couldn't believe their ears when theyheard that Nathan Cross wanted them to pay with a hand each!

Hagrid laughed hysterically, "Hah! Nathan, you are but a kept man. Do you think that just becauseyou have a rich wife, you can do whatever you like?

"Do you believe that if you dare to even touch me, I'll make your life a living hell?"

Nathan did not reply to Hagrid's threats and took action instead.

He flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said calmly, "Colin, Thomas."

At the sound of his command, Colin and Thomas immediately moved.

Like unleashed beasts, they rushed towards Hagrid and his men.

Several of Hagrid's bodyguards hurried forward to intercept them but they were all knocked down inthe blink of an eye and each of them had an arm broken.

Hagrid pointed his finger at Colin and ordered sternly, "I command you to stop!"

Crack!

Colin caught hold of Hagrid's hand and broke it as well.

Ahh!

Hagrid let out a pitiful scream.

In just a few moments, with the exception of the few female artistes, everyone had their armsbroken.

Colin and Thomas disdained attacking women and so, the ladies were spared from punishment.

With his right hand broken, Hagrid's was in so much pain that sweat poured off him while his facewas twisted in agony.

Never before in his life had he faced such trauma nor suffered such loss.

He glared at Nathan with eyes full of hatred and he cursed angrily, "Boy, you have guts!”

"We will meet again, and next time you'd better watch out. Let's get out of here!”

At that, he started to flee from the room with his men and artistes.

However, Colin and Thomas blocked their way.

Hagrid's countenance changed drastically. He turned to Nathan and asked in horror,

"What else do you want?"

Nathan sat on the chair with a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke he puffed shrouded him,making him looked mysterious and unpredictable.

Nathan looked at Hagrid and said blandly, "Our affairs hasn't been settled yet and you're thinkingabout the future?”

What?

We're not settled yet?

Hagrid said angrily, "You've killed my artiste and broke our arms. What more do you want?"

Nathan replied calmly, "This is your punishment for assaulting my wife."

"There is another item which I want to settle with you, Mr. Potter."novelbin

Stunned by Nathan's words, Hagrid asked in fear and a hint of curiosity, "What else is there?"

Nathan said coldly, "Do you remember Clair Granger?"

Hagrid's facial expression change drastically at the mention of the name. Of course heremembered. She was a beautiful artiste who was sent to attend a party thrown by Gary Jordan notlong after signing the contract with Hagrid's company. In the end, she was abused horribly by Garyand his gang of perverted men.

The next day, she took her own life by leaping off a tall building.

Fear coursed through his veins at that memory, Hagrid started to wonder what relationship therewas between Clair Granger and Nathan Cross.

He tried to deny knowledge of the incident, "Clair Granger? Who's that? I don't remember!"

Nathan said indifferently, "Then I shall give you a reminder. She was an artist signed by yourcompany and was forcibly sent to accompany guests at a party thrown by Gary Jordan of theJordan family. In the end, she was so defiled that she committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Hagrid replied, "I vaguely remember such a person but what has that got to do with you?"

Nathan continued, "She was the daughter of my mentor. A mentor's relationship is as precious asthat of a father. Clair was like my very own younger sister. With that knowledge in mind, are yougoing to tell me that the incident has nothing to do with me?"

Hagrid was scared witless. "Nathan Cross, you are just trying to pick a fight!"

Nathan replied blandly, "Both you and Gary Jordan must pay for this!"

"I will give you one day. You, Gary, and those involved in Clair Granger's incident must kneel at hergrave and ask for forgiveness. Then, go to the police and turn yourselves in, confess your crimesand accept the punishments."

What?

Hagrid's eyes widened in disbelief. Nathan is actually asking me, Jordan and the others to kneel atClair Granger's grave, repent and surrender ourselves to the police?

he must be out of his mind!

Nathan added calmly, "I have given you the chance. You only have 24 hours. It's up to you to makeuse of this chance or not.”
