Salute To The General
Chapter 1931

Chapter 1931

Damn it! Her bodyguard is no joke!

Caught in a plight, Webb regretted not bringing all his skilled men. If he had known Penny had such a capable bodyguard, he would have come better prepared.

His heated cheeks went red and his knees grew numb with pain as he knelt on the ground.

Never in his life had he felt this humiliated.

Webb tilted his head and glared at Penny and Ava spitefully. "Do you have a death wish? How dare you do this to me? I swear I won't let this slide! The Goldstein family won't either!"

His insolence put a frown on Penny's brows. Beside her, Ava seemed unperturbed. Like Nathan, Ava was never afraid of anyone. Given the years she spent at war and among the assassins, many had died in her hands and she was already desensitized to such. Webb's threats were nothing close to a pinch to her.

She lifted her leg and booted him forcefully, sending him flying towards the wall.

Without even giving him a breather, she charged toward him and drilled her foot into his chest.

Webb's face contorted as he felt an intensifying pressure on his chest. The cracking sounds from his ribcage made him broke out in cold sweat, thinking his bones were on the verge of breaking.

His heart thumped faster over time as if it was going to burst.

Webb's eyes bulged like a toad and he opened his mouth wide, gasping for air.

“Please... I'll... tell you..." His face was distorted in pain as he waved his limbs desperately.

Ava turned and looked at Penny.

After getting an approving nod from her, Ava finally lifted her leg from Webb's chest.

The latter hurried and sat up, leaning against the wall. His panting broke out into a cough as he gasped for air.

Damn these women! Wait till I get my hands on y'all!

But Webb was smart enough to avoid going head to head with Penny and Ava. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been rude just now. Please forgive me," he apologized with his head low.

“Apology accepted," Penny replied coldly, “but you'll have to tell me everything you know about

my husband."

Webb clenched his jaw and decided to just say what he knew. "Nathan knew Mr. Davier would get revenge on him after he offended him. With Hanse no longer in power, Nathan could only run away when everyone was on the battlefield. There's still no sign of him till now."

Penny and Ava were struck speechless.

"What nonsense! My husband is a hero. His soldiers look up to him as their role model. There's no way he will abandon his men! I know he won't!" Penny bellowed.

Ava nodded fervently in agreement.

"Yes, the General defeated the Coalition Army singlehandedly. He didn't flee but faced them off on his own. I'm sure he will stay and fight with his men no matter what if you continue spewing nonsense like this, you won't get out alive!"

Webb rubbed his hands anxiously and entreated them.

"No! I swear I'm telling the truth! The war in the North ended about a month ago. The award ceremony has already taken place at the

Cab in Brimmopolis. Soldiers

with outstanding service were all honored at the ceremony, but there's totally no news about Nathan. I'm sure y'all haven't heard from him either."

Penny and Ava exchanged uneasy gazes without saying a word.

"Nathan literally vanished from the battlefield. His name is not on the list of soldiers feted for distinguished service, and neither is he on the casualty list. This can only mean one thing he deserted the army."

Nathan went missing on the battlefield?

The women were both shocked and worried.

Penny especially was worried sick. "My husband is an honorable man. I know his personality very well, he will leave his men behind!"

Her shaky gaze darted around in worry before it finally landed on Webb. "What did you guys do to him? I know you all hated him and wanted him gone! Speak! Did y'all kill him?"

Ava went closer and glared coldly at Webb in the eyes. "Webb Goldstein, you'd better answer Mrs. Cross' question honestly. You won't get out alive if I replace you lying."
