Salute To The General

Chapter 2153

Over at Cloud Palace, Franklin had reserved the whole place for the night so they could have the place to themselves.

Nathan and his family sat with Franklin around the table while the waiters took their orders.

The manager came over to Franklin and Nathan as everyone was chatting away. "Mr. Cross, Mr. Wilson, the dishes are ready. We will serve them shortly."

"Could you hold on a second? We're still waiting for his in-laws. We'll start eating once they arrive," Franklin replied before Nathan could say a word. "Sure thing, Mr. Wilson," the manager said and made leave.

"Seriously, what's with Thomas? He's taking ages! This is not his usual self."

Just as Franklin was complaining, Wilmer and his men appeared at the door and barged in unannounced.

Disturbed by the sudden racket at the door, everyone looked up and was stunned. Nathan squinted his eyes when he spotted Benson and Leah. His gaze hardened when he finally saw Thomas and his men, all injured and weak.

Penny and the rest sucked a breath of cold air when they beheld the sight.

"What's going on?" Franklin stood from his chair instantly.

Colin and Ava sprang from their seats and went close to Nathan.

"We didn't expect them to get here so quickly. We got the news that the Camden family sent them. They're here to kill you and bring Mrs. Cross with them. They almost killed Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith. It seems Thomas and his men were wounded too."

A deadly gloom settled over Nathan's face the moment he heard Colin's report.

Opposite the group, Wilmer smiled confidently when he saw Penny and Nathan in the restaurant. "Congratulations. You managed to save that pathetic life of yours. Ms. Camden and Nathan are really here." Wilmer said to Thomas, "Kneel down here while I cut off Nathan's head."

Right after Wilmer spoke, his men pressed Benson, Leah, Thomas, and his subordinates on their shoulders, forcing them to go on their knees. "Dad! Mom!" Penny screamed when she saw the men behaving brutally toward her parents.

"How dare you!"

Colin and Ava were enraged, but before they could take another step forward, a voice came from behind.

"Stop," Nathan asserted.

The two turned their heads, perplexed.

But the confusion on their faces was gone the moment they saw Nathan.

The petrifying expression on Nathan's face said it all.

"I'll kill them myself."

Nathan strode toward Wilmer without losing his

cool.

Although his demeanor seemed concerted, his presence emanated a powerful brooding air, disquieting everyone. Even Wilmer felt a sense of imminent trepidation. His heart beat with excitement as he anticipated a bloody fight.

There was nothing else Wilmer

fancied more than vanquishing his energies, especially those who are werful and skilled.

But Wilmer was not going to fight Nathan himself. Not yet. "Johnny, try him out.”

Unlike Wilmer, Johnny was less experienced. He had yet to realize that Nathan was unlike other

fighters and he had no idea who he was facing up with.

"My pleasure, Mr. Yorke," Johnny said with a condescending smirk on his face.

He rolled up his sleeves and charged toward Nathan.
