Salute To The General
Chapter 1755

Chapter 1755

Night fell and the city lit up.At Sally's Seafood, Penny was having dinner with Kylie, Queenie, Benson and Leah

Since Nathan and Ava were bodyguards, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to eat with their employers. Hence, both of them sat at a separate tableto eat while guarding Penny and her family at the same time.

Ava's eyes were fixated on Nathan throughout their meal

Sensing the weight of her gaze, Nathan looked up and asked, "ls something wrong, Ma'am? Why are you staring at me like that?"Ava grinned mischievously. “Are you sure it's appropriate for you to address me so

respectfully? Shouldn't it be the other way around,” she paused before emphasizing, “Sir?”

Nathan froze slightly and looked at Ava in bewilderment.

Ava chuckled and said, “You don't seem to get what I mean. Then, allow me to rephrase.”

She leaned forward before continuing, “Should I be calling you Bay, or Nathan?”

Nathan's brows furrowed slightly and lowered his voice. “When did you replace out?”

Ava had a smug look on her face when she replied, “The Grumbling Earth and Military Punch are the General's signature moves. Not to mention, hehas the monopoly over these two techniques.

"And since you executed both the Grumbling

Earth and Military Punch, who else could you be if not the General?”

Nathan was left speechless by her.

Indeed, the truth would always come out in the end. Ava had seen through his facade so easily.Nathan simply replied, "Just keep this to yourself.”

Ava's eyes darted around before she asked in a low voice, "General, are you going to keep this from Mrs. Cross too?”

Nathan answered calmly, “Davierused the Cabinet's influence todispatch me back to the North and~gave melbrders not to leave ovunauthprized. Then, he ordered theGo dsteins to come after my family.Obwiously, his motive was to'takerevenge on me.” Contentbelongs toNarugi.Org

“Davier and the Goldsteins are too powerful. I'm not comfortable leaving my family under the protection of just the few of you

Ava was slightly displeased by what he said. “General, are you underestimating us? I'm not just one of the King of Warriors in the North Army, I havealso been crowned the Queen of Killers in the assassin world...”

Just then, Nathan cut her off, "I know that you're skilled, but you must know that if there's a will, there's a way. If someone truly wanted to hurt myfamily, they'd stop at nothing to do it.

“Let me get this straight. You were worried, but knew that couldn't openly protect your family, so you disguised yourself as a bodyguard named Bayand came back here?” Ava whispered.

Nathan smileclopsidedly. “Bydisguising myself as Bay thebodyguard, I can practically hide inplain sight and protect my familythe same time. Most importantly, Ican-+hake sure Davier doesn’t gainthe pper hand.” Narugi.Org =

He paused and.owered his voice tocontinue, There’ s one other reason.I figured that if I appeared here as >Bay, Xyperia would think that I wasstill guarding the North, so theywoLtdn't dare to make a moveaganst us.” Narugi.Org =

“Then, why don't you just reveal yourself to Mrs. Cross?” Ava asked, her curiosity piqued.

Nathan explained, "If I reveal the truth, I have no doubt that all of you will treat me differently, so I'd need everyone coordinate with me to keep up theact.

“Let's not talk about how mentally exhausting that would be, but if one of you were to slip up. it could possibly alert Davier and the Goldsteins to myidentity, and I'd be court-martialed as a

deserter.

"So, if all of you don't know my identity and treat me as a simple bodyguard, no one would suspect a thing.

Realization dawned on Ava and she exclaimed, "So that's why!”

As though she suddenly recalled something. she spoke in a hushed tone, “General, there's something I need to report to you.”

"Go ahead,” Nathan replied.

Ava continued in a low voice, “After you taught Ceaser Goldstein a lesson yesterday, he didn't repent, nor did he return to Brimmopolis"He contacted a large group of his friends and allies who gathered a total of two thousand men to assist him.

"Also, he sent someone to pass on his message, asking Mrs. Cross to bring you and Ms. Tonkins to meet him at the Celestial Club tonight.

“He said that if the three of you don't show up. he'll go on a killing spree.”
