Salute To The General
Chapter 2304

Nathan had already gotten off the boxing ring by then. He and Penny led Colin and Ava over.

After that, Nathan calmly ordered, "Tim, the guy lost the bet. Make him honor the terms of the bet and pay up. Oh, and after you collect the money, share it with Colin and Ava." Both Colin and Ava immediately claimed they couldn't possibly accept that gift.

Nathan grinned and replied, "Permission denied. You have to keep that money."

After that, he turned around and left with Penny.

Colin and Ava hurried over to keep up with them.

No one cared about Tetsuo, who was at Tim's mercy. The latter had tons of experience working on issues like those, so he knew just how to make men like Tetsuo honor their words.

When they left Clearwater Shrine, Nathan realized that it was still too early, so he didn't take Penny back to the hotel.

Instead, they went to a quaint brewery and tasted some wine.

By then, Tim had already dealt with Tetsuo, who handed over all the cash he had with him. That wasn't enough to settle his debt, so the latter also promised to sell off all of his assets within three days to pay for the rest of it. Tetsuo panted and slumped into the chair after Tim left.

The members of the Dagger Gang stared strangely at him.

Tetsuo lifted his head up and saw how they were looking at him. That infuriated him. He roared, "What the hell are you still standing there for? Gather all our men. I will have a battle against the War Dragon Chamber, and it will be an all-or-nothing war." Under normal circumstances, those men would work on the matter immediately after their boss issued the order.

However, things were no longer the same. Those men simply turned to one another without moving a muscle.

Tetsuo was angrier when he saw that his subordinates weren't executing his orders. He scolded, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

A subordinate with short hair awkwardly asked, "Now that Tim has taken all your money, will you still be able to pay us for our work?"

Tetsuo growled, "I may be short on cash, but I have plenty of assets. They can generate abundant income indefinitely, and that is more than enough to pay for your salaries."

The short-haired subordinate replied, "That used to be true, but Tim had already given the ultimatum. You have to sell everything in three days and pay him the money you owe. If you don't, he will lead the men from War Dragon Chamber over to kill you and annihilate the Dagger Gang." It was at that moment Tetsuo realized he couldn't quite control his men.

He grimly replied, "That is why I asked you to gather everybody, and we must wipe out the War Dragon Chamber. We'll die if we lose this war, but if we win, we will take over everything the War Dragon Chamber has. A wealthy life will follow immediately after."

The short-haired subordinate refuted, "That won't do. In the past, we believed that we have what it takes to destroy the War Dragon Chamber. However, the event tonight proved that isn't possible. You saw how powerful both Tim and Ava are. On top of that, there's the mysterious Mr. Cross, who easily eliminated Sorateru, the most powerful fighter in Jazona. Given how terrifyingly powerful these Eurasians are, it is clear that a battle against the War Dragon Chamber will definitely end with our defeat."

Tetsuo's face darkened as he asked, "So what exactly are you saying?"

The short-haired subordinate answered, "Some time ago, Mr. Yamamoto from Baykeep asked me to go work for him. I think now's the right time for me to leave the Dagger Gang and do exactly that."

After saying all that, the man stepped backward, then turned around and left.

Tetsuo was burning with rage when he growled, "You..."

The other members of the Dagger Gang spoke up as well. They simultaneously claimed, "Sorry, but we will go to Mr. Yamamoto, too. Good luck." Everyone else left after that.

Tetsuo didn't expect to be abandoned like that. I don't even have what it takes to fight against the War Dragon Chamber anymore...

He sat on the chair and hopelessly murmured, "Oh my God! Is this how my story ends?"

Just then, Kristoff led the Monk and the Priest over. They emerged from the entrance and walked slowly over.

Kristoff grinned and offered, "I can help you kill Nathan Cross and Tim Teaman. Would you like that?"

Tetsuo widened his eyes in surprise, staring at Kristoff and the others.
