Salute To The General
Chapter 2059

Chapter 2059

"Hubby, what happened to that guy?" Penny came up to Nathan and asked softly.

Nathan looked in the direction where Nine Swords ran away, and replied calmly, "I defeated him three years ago, yet he had no idea it was me until today.

"He was under orders to kill me tonight, yet suddenly realized I was his past nightmare.

"I guess he broke down completely because of extreme fear and anxiety."

It finally registered to Penny and the rest about what happened after listening to Nathan's explanation.

As if he wanted to express his feelings, Colin added, "No wonder General always taught us not to be afraid when we were in the military.

You said that we would lose forever once we are afraid of something or someone.

"I guess this poor guy's life would be dominated by his eternal fear of General." Nathan interrupted, "Anyway, he doesn't deserve our sympathy. Let's move!"

Once he finished, Nathan and the rest hopped into their cars and left the place.

Not long after they left in their cars, Shae came down the building with her subordinates.

She couldn't help but seethe as she looked at the dead bodies on the floor and the direction where Nine Swords ran away.

"Isn't Nine Swords a strong fighter? Why would he go crazy once he saw Nathan, just like a rat

facing a cat?"

One of her subordinates suggested cautiously, "Ms. Shae, Nine Swords has always been aloof, so many of us think that he is mentally ill. However, we didn't expect that he would go crazy at such a critical juncture."

Shae said furiously, "Damn it! Nathan is lucky to stay alive today."

Her subordinate added, "Ms. Shae, Nathan doesn't hold any positions anymore, and so he is nothing but a figurehead. Instead, Mr. Davier, as the Cab secretary, is at his prime.

"The Davier family would perish Nathan sooner or later, and so we don't have to rush into it

now.

Once the subordinate mentioned Clifford, she recalled the Eternal Toil that she forcefully took away from Ghost King tonight.

Immediately, she said, "Uncle loves to collect ancient abstract paintings very much. I'm sure Uncle will be pleased once he saw the abstract painting that I seized. Let's go home and hand the painting over to Uncle."

When Shae arrived at his house, Clifford hadn't gone to bed and was still reading a book in his study.

Knock, knock!

Shae asked after knocking on the door, "I'm Shae. May I come in?"

Clifford was initially a little shocked to hear Shae's voice but said blandly, "Come in!"

Once Shae opened the door, she came in with several subordinates.

"How are you, Uncle?"

"I'm fine."

Clifford asked Shae to take a seat and instructed his servant to prepare some tea.

After that, he asked curiously, "It's rather late now. What is it that brought you here at this hour?"

Shae put on a slight smile and said, "I've just graduated from overseas and haven't contributed anything to the family yet. So, I'm grateful that Uncle cares about me very much and even plans to marry me to the Chief Military Governor.

"By the way, since I incidentally obtained Huck's work, I have decided to hand it over to you in person as a token of appreciation."

Clifford was intrigued. "Is it Wyland Huck's original work? Bring it over and let me take a look."

Shae said smilingly, "By the way, it's interesting that the words "Eternal Toil" are also written on the painting, which are the same words on the painting in your study.

"So, I wondered if Huck created two paintings of the same words.

"Anyway, since I know that Uncle loves Huck's works, I decided to buy it for you."

Clifford was stunned upon hearing it.

Nevertheless, Shae didn't notice

Clifford's expression but still glanced around and asked, "Oh? where's the Eternal Toil that you keep?"

Clifford replied in a panic, "I have sent my painting to Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor as a gift.

"Besides, Huck would never create two paintings with the same words!

"Even if he created two paintings for practice purposes, he would definitely burn the lower-quality one to preserve the best work."

Shae was stunned. "What? Would my painting be the one that Uncle gifted to the Chief Military Governor?

"But if it was the gift to Chief Military Governor, why would someone sell it in the market?"

Clifford furrowed his brows and said, "Bring the painting here and let me take a look myself."
