Salute To The General

Chapter 1390 How Should We Settle The Score

A scrawny but vicious-looking man reached for his dagger asked with a wicked smile, "Mr. Coyle istalking to you! Did you take a peek at his wife while she was showering?"

"I-I didn't..." Marcus stuttered. He was horrified.

Before Marcus could finish his sentence, the vicious-looking man had already lunged his dagger atMarcus, stabbing the latter at his thigh.

The sharp dagger penetrated Marcus's pants and was merely a few centimeters away fromMarcus's groin.

Marcus shuddered in fear because could feel the dagger's frigid blade on his pants. In fact, healmost wet himself in front of everyone.

Once again, the vicious-looking man asked, "On behalf of Mr. Coyle, I'll ask you once more. Youshould be mindful of your answer; otherwise, I may stab the wrong place next time. Did you take apeek at Mr. Coyle's wife while she was showering?” "Y-Yes! I-I did! I-I took a peek! Boohoo..."Marcus stuttered as his teeth were chattering.

He broke down in tears as soon as he finished his sentence because he felt aggrieved andintimidated at the same time.

Meanwhile, Victor and the bunch of bandits exchanged glances and smiled; they were overjoyedbecause they had achieved their goal.

Similarly, Victor's vicious-looking subordinate repeated the same trick on the remaining employeesof Cross Group. They were forced to admit they had taken a peek, or their life would be at stake.

"Since your workers have admitted their wrongdoing, how should we settle the score?" Victorprobed with a grin as he looked at Penny.

Penny grimaced in disgust because she was certain she had run into a bunch of bandits.

Obviously, she wouldn't be able to sort things out peacefully because the bandits were determinedto rip off Cross Group. Penny also knew it would be impossible for her to talk some sense into thebandits.

Therefore, she decided to give in to their demand. Although it might cost a fortune, it was fine to her,as long as she could solve the problem.

Once she made up her mind, Penny tried her best to suppress her anger and asked, "Why don'tyou tell me what exactly you are up to?"

"An eye for an eye has always been the method for us in the North to sort things out. Since youremployees have taken a peek at our wives, we will return the favor and strip their wives naked aswell. Sounds like a fair deal, right?" Victor replied with a lecherous smile.

"I'm sorry. That's impossible because your request is absurd," Penny frowned and replied in aserious tone.

"I know that's impossible. Their wives aren't around because you are all from out of town!" Victorreplied sarcastically and stared at Penny and Frida all of a sudden. "Don't worry, we are willing tosettle for less! We'll have both of you substitute their wives instead! As long as both of you stripnaked in front of us, we'll forget about everything that has happened."

The moment Victor told Penny his suggestion, the bunch of bandits behind him burst into laughter.

However, Penny and Frida frowned in irritation; they were on the verge of losing their cool.

Nevertheless, Penny tried to calm herself down once more and warned the bandits, "Stop gettingfull of yourselves! I will never give in to such an absurd request! I'm sure you're trying to rip us off.

Since that's the case, why don't you name your price? How much is it going to take to satisfy yourgreed?"

In return, Victor scoffed, "My price? Sure! Ten billion is all it takes to settle this incident once and forall! After all, you should compensate us for our psychological loss, right? Once we receive the tenbillion, we'll pretend none of this has ever happened.”novelbin

Ten billion?

Penny and her fellow employees' eyes widened in disbelief. Yet another absurd request!

This incident was no longer a trivial scam. It seemed like the bandits were up to a bigger scheme.

"I'll allow you to think about it for a minute. Either both of you strip naked in front of us, or you haveto compensate us ten billion for our loss! If you don't follow my instruction, I'll castrate youremployees in front of you before having some fun with both of you ladies!” The perverted VictorCoyle coerced Penny.

When Penny was on the verge of losing her cool, a man's callous voice could be heard coming frombehind her. "I'll give you a minute to think about it as well. I'll allow you to die comfortably if you getdown on your knees and beg for mercy in front of my wife immediately!"

Victor and the bunch of bandits were taken aback by the man's words.

All of a sudden, everyone turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw Nathanalong with Colin and the Elite Eight by his side.
