Salute To The General

Chapter 1856

Zachery casually swirled at his champagne glass while he said nonchalantly to Toby, "I was told that you rule the South underworld. I am prepared to afford you the opportunity to work for me. However, you've disappointed me. I'll give you two options - you may either make up for your mistake or I'll have my men send you guys off this yacht."

Colors drained from Toby's face; he felt dryness in his throat. He wanted so badly to distance himself from this deadly figure, but it was all too late by the time he realized Zachery was not someone he could mess around with.

As if I have a choice! If I choose the latter, it will just mean death for all of us!

Knowing he was left with no viable alternative, Toby gritted his teeth, picked up the knife from the coffee table, and chopped off his own left little finger in one swift movement.

"Ahh!" Toby let out a groan as the intense pain caused his face to distort. Cold sweat trickled down his face as he tried to suppress his agony.

This sight was painful to watch for Toby's men as well as the women next to Zachery. They certainly did not sign up for this.

With great effort, Toby spoke in a restrained voice, "I hope you are pleased now, Mr. Hackett."

Zachery smiled in return, "Well, I'm not displeased. Since you've chosen to collaborate with me, I'll make sure you get your fair share when my enemy is done with. I believe in giving credit when it's due."

Toby's expression was complicated as he carefully replied, "Thank you, Mr. Hackett.”

Zachery then handed him a glass of champagne and said with a smile, "So, back to business. The stuff that I've asked you to do... What have you got for me?"

Toby wrapped a handkerchief around his wound before he took over the glass of champagne from Zachery, but he dared not take a sip. He reported in a subdued manner, “Mr. Hackett, I can confirm that Nathan has indeed been stripped of his military position. He is now just an ordinary citizen who spends most of his time at home with his family."

Zachery was a little taken aback by this piece of news. "The Eurasia military should be familiar with my old nemesis' capability. It's rather strange that they are kicking him out instead of making full use of his combative skills."

Toby explained, “I was told that Nathan has killed Mr. Davier's son and daughter, so Mr.

Davier wants him dead. Moreover,

Nathan's biggest backer, Mr.

Windsor, has just officially retired. As soon as that happened, Mr.

Davier arranged to have Nathan

discharged from the military. All in all, with or without your intervention, Nathan is already a dead man walking."

With Toby's explanation, Zachery finally understood the reason someone like Nathan would be expelled from the military.

It makes more sense now. So Nathan has gotten on the wrong side of Clifford.

Zachery's lips curled up just a little

as he spoke matter-of-factly, "Well, that wouldn't do for me. What is more satisfying than being able to finish off your own enemy and watching life drain out of himin front of your eyes?"

Toby replied politely, "Certainly, Mr. Hackett. I believe my next piece of information will suit you well. It's Nathan's birthday tomorrow. Thomas Dunn has arranged for a celebration at Cloud Palace and has invited some of Nathan's close friends to attend. Tomorrow night will be the best window of opportunity for you to seek revenge upon him.”

Zachery finally let out a satisfactory smile. "His birthday will be his death anniversary. I like this idea of yours. Let's proceed."

Toby asked carefully, "So, Mr. Hackett, is there anything I can help you with?"

With a grin across his face, Zachery answered, "There is. Prepare a set of graveclothes and send it to Nathan's birthday dinner as my gift to him."

Sending someone graveclothes on his birthday. How bold! Oh,just as well! What's a gift of graveclothes when Nathan is going to be dead

tomorrow anyway?

Thv replied politely, "Of

With that thought, louy > 'J

course, Mr. Hackett. I shall do as you say."
