Salute To The General

Chapter 1524 Is She The Assassin

3 a.m.

In the presidential suite of Kyoto Grand Hotel.

Inside the room, Nathan and Penny were sleeping.

Nathan, who was sound asleep, opened his eyes when he heard a faint, almost unnoticeable soundof a footstep. It sounded like a cat had landed on the floor.

The room was enclosed in darkness except for a ray of moonlight that shone through the windows.

The curtains billowed slightly with the cool morning breeze.

Nathan squinted his eyes when he realized the windows which that had been closed were nowopen.

Someone had snuck in!

At that very moment, a shadow flashed across his eyes. Then, a black dagger headed straight forhis heart, just like a snake striking its prey.

As Nathan's gaze turned cold, he grabbed his pillow by reflex to block the deadly thrust of thedagger.

Poof!

Si's dagger pierced through Nathan's pillow.

She was shocked that she failed despite her speed and with the element of surprise.

With a slice of the dagger, the pillow was forcefully cut open and the goose feathers inside burst outlike a pinata.

With a wave of his hand, Nathan turned all the feathers into arrows and shot them towards S1.novelbin

Gasping in shock, SI jumped back. She then brandished her dagger around to shield herself fromthe arrow-like feathers.

By the time she managed to block all of them, Nathan had gotten out of bed. In fact, he had put onhis pants and shoes, and was in the midst of wearing his white shirt.

Under the dim moonlight, S1 could vaguely make out his swimmer-like figure and the multiple scarson his chest.

She was shocked when she realized the target of her hastily-accepted mission was someoneterrifyingly strong, despite the ridiculously high bounty that came with it.

He was not only able to notice and foil her assassination attempt, but he also had time to put on hisclothes casually.

Furthermore, he did all that without waking his wife who was still fast asleep.

Just when S1 was stunned by Nathan's skills, Nathan stared back at her in surprise when herealized the assassin was a woman.

Whoosh!

S1 dashed towards Nathan again in lightning speed as she thrust her dagger towards his heart.

Raising his hand, Nathan grabbed her wrist.

But Si's reflexes were lightning quick and she smashed her knee towards his abdomen.

However, Nathan raised his own knee to block.

When their shins clash, a muffled bang was heard.

As his shin was strong enough to break anything, anyone who kicked against it would have their legbroken.

However, he was surprised that the female assassin was able to endure the impact.

Despite his surprise, his movements didn't slow down at all as he hurled a right hook towards hisopponent.

Raising her left hand, S1 caught Nathan's wrist.

Both their left hands were caught by each other's right hand at the very moment.

As S1 grunted, she channeled all her strength into a devastating shoulder strike at Nathan.

Meanwhile, Nathan intercepted her shoulder with a shoulder strike of his own.

Boom!

As their shoulders clashed, the tiles on the ground cracked while everything else in the roomshattered from the impact of the shockwaves.

After the clash, Nathan stood steadily where he was while S1 flew off like a kite.

At that moment, Nathan could see her face clearly under the moonlight. He couldn't help but widenhis eyes and gasp, "Ava Quinn!"

When SI heard Nathan call out her name, she too was stunned. "You... are the General!"

She was one of the two captains of Nathan's personal guards.

Three years ago, when Nathan was under attack by the Coalition Army, Ava, who was responsiblefor guarding Nathan, had disappeared just before the attack.

Nathan had had to vanquish his enemies all by himself then.

After that, the North Army confirmed that Ava had leaked Nathan's intel to the enemy, whichresulted in him being ambushed by the Coalition Army.

However, Nathan felt that there was more to the matter than what met the eye. He had personallygroomed Ava and she was fiercely loyal, hence unlikely to betray him.

However, Ava seemed to have vanished into thin air. Despite expending massive resources tosearch for her, all he got was a dead end.

It had been three years since then and Nathan had never expected to reunite with her under suchcircumstances.

He too was shocked.

When Ava realized her target was Nathan, she was first shocked before her emotions turned intoone of anguish and regret. Bearing with the pain of her injuries, she fled out the window.

Just when Nathan was about to give chase, he heard Penny's voice. "Hubby, that's an assassin,how did she get in..."

Turning his head, he realized that Penny had awoken during his fight with Ava.

He replied with a wry smile, "She used to be my subordinate but vanished a long time ago. I didn'texpect to see her again as an assassin sent to kill me.”
