Salute To The General
Chapter 2055

Chapter 2055

Soon, Ghost King arrived hastily with his subordinates to meet Nathan.

Nathan said coldly, "Joaquin Landry, can you explain to me what is going on?"

Joaquin Landry was the Ghost King's real name!

Joaquin sweated profusely but put on a smile as he said, "General, please calm down. I can explain."

He paused for a while and continued, "Actually, everyone knows that Huck's abstract painting isn't worth that much. You're just pissed at Ms.

Shae!"

Colin interrupted coldly, "Is it how you justify letting Shae take away the abstract painting that General bid?"

Joaquin nervously replied, "Of course not!

“General, I dare not mess with you. However, Ms. Shae comes from the Davier family, and I dare not to mess with it as well.

"She wanted to take the abstract painting away, I dared not to stop her!

“General, rest assured that I'll not take a penny from you even though you successfully bid for it with one billion. Since I save the money for you, I think you don't have to be exasperated over it."

Once he finished, Nathan said coldly, "In that case, should I thank you for saving the money for me?"

Joaquin wiped his sweat away and said cautiously, "There's no need for that!

"General, you've earned your reputation by winning over Ms. Shae in front of everyone.

"Besides, since the abstract painting isn't worth that much, why must you spend the money?

"Ms. Shae probably felt humiliated in front of everyone. Since she was determined to get the abstract painting anyway, why don't you just give it to her as an act of generosity?"

Nathan didn't respond to it but said blandly, "Joaquin, since you've been in the black market for many years, I'm sure you've made a lot of money, right?"

Joaquin was taken aback, for he didn't understand what he meant.

After a while, he answered carefully, "I've been in this business for twenty to thirty years but haven't made a lot of money. Fortunately, I can still bring home the bacon because my friends

from different backgrounds support me."

Nathan nodded and said, "Since you've been in the business for decades and earned a lot of money, you should consider retiring." What?

Perplexed, Joaquin's face was drained of all colors.

Nathan wants me to shut down the Ghost Auction House!

Shocked and angry, Joaquin exclaimed, "General, you...

Nathan ignored him but turned around and left with Penny.

Before leaving, Colin snickered at Joaquin, “You better follow General's order to shut it down by

yourself. Otherwise, we'll do it for you."

With that, Colin brought along the Elite Eight to catch up with Nathan and Penny.

Joaquin looked ghastly pale after they left.

Joaquin's subordinates looked at him in unison and asked softly, “Boss, what should we do?"

Joaquin gritted his teeth in anger

and cursed, "Damn, who does heet eis? Why must I shut downe

think I

my business just because down

he

ordered me to do so?

"He's not the Commander-In-Chief of the North Army anymore. Besides, he doesn't even have an official position but is only a figurehead. "Does he think a toothless tiger can frighten me?

Dream on!

"I showed him some respect, and he thinks he can command me?

"Moreover, before Ms. Shae left, she said that she wouldn't let him and his wife off the hook.

"Now, many skilled fighters are waiting for them to leave the place to launch an ambush.

"Does he really want me to shut down my business? Well, I'll wait and see if he can stay alive tonight."

On the other hand, Nathan, Penny, Colin, and four of the Elite Eight came out of the Temple of Wisdom.

As Penny was a little worried, she asked, "Hubby, since Shae took the abstract painting, what should we do now? I mean, you promised Mr. Windsor to hand over the painting tomorrow."

Colin interrupted, "General, why don't we just send a few men to get it back from the Davier family?

“After all, we bid for the abstract painting, we've every reason to get it back."

Unexpectedly, Nathan replied confidently, "It's not necessary. Before dawn, the Davier family will hand over the abstract painting to me."

Colin was deep in thought after hearing it.

Given that Penny wasn't aware that Nathan was Chief Military Governor, her lips curled up bitterly as she said, "Hubby, don't you think you are too confident about it?

"Our relationship with the Davier family has always been bad. Besides, Mr. Davier still holds grudges against us until now.

"We'll be lucky if Mr. Davier doesn't look for trouble. Under such circumstances, would the Davier family give the abstract painting back to us? "Since when did the Davier family become that easy-goingr"

Nevertheless, Nathan let out a mysterious smile and replied, "Of course, I won't fool you. What happens tomorrow morning will prove me right." Penny still shook her head and said, "I still don't think the Davier family will return it to us."
