Salute To The General
Chapter 2313

Back at Jazona Hotel, Penny fidgeted uneasily in her seat. She only breathed a sigh of relief upon Nathan's safe return.

Colin and Ava also greeted Nathan at the door to check if he was okay.

Nathan smiled. "Tim has been rescued and is now receiving treatment at the hospital. As for those kidnappers, they have paid for their crimes."

"That's great!" said Penny.

"Since when did Tetsuo become so

brave? He took such a huge risk in kidnapping Tim," Colin asked out of curiosity.

"That's right, Tim is a pretty good fighter. How did Tetsuo even manage to capture him?" Ava was perplexed.

Nathan sat down and replied, "Because Novah Pharmaceutical Company and the Camdens joined forces. They helped Tetsuo capture Tim. There was no way else Tetsuo would have been able to do it by himself."

Penny frowned. "What? Are Novah Pharmaceutical Company and the Camdens still not going to stop? Are they still trying to cause us more trouble?" she said softly.

Nathan nodded. "Yeah. These people need to be taught a harsh lesson."

"Mr. Cross, should I send word to the military to send men overseas to teach Bowen and Quentin a lesson?" Colin said.

Shaking his head, Nathan answered, "Bowen is one of the top ten richest men in the world. The Queen of Eagleland herself granted him his nobility. The Camdens' words carry a lot of weight in Eagleland since wealth speaks louder than others. It wouldn't be wise to send our men over without a proper plan. Besides, things will be very hard without Eagleland's permission. As for Novah Pharmaceutical Company, they have the Ariarica military to back them up since they are the largest pharmaceutical company there. It would be even harder to take Novah Pharmaceutical Company out."

"But they've been getting really out of hand as of late. Are we just going to sit around and do nothing about it?" demanded Colin.

"If the Camdens and Novah Pharmaceutical Company ever send men over to look for trouble again, we will kill them off. We're not going to show them any mercy ever again," Nathan said calmly.

"Yes, sir!" Colin and Ava replied in unison.

"I will get even with Bowen and Quentin after I finish handling some other matters first," Nathan continued.

"Understood, Mr. Cross!"

The next day.

Nathan attended the World Peace Prize award ceremony held in Jazona with Penny. They were dressed in plain clothes.

There were a total of five candidates contending for the World Peace Prize this year.

Penny was one of the two most popular candidates to win it. After all, Cross Corporation had achieved a huge milestone in curing cancer.

Penny was nominated not only because she had achieved huge success in curing cancer, but also because she had priced the company's medicinal products below market value. Moreover, Eurasians were able to use these medicines for free, while foreigners could get them at an affordable rate. Her philosophy of making cancer vaccines and anti-cancer drugs available to the public won her the world's respect and a nomination for the World Peace Prize.

The other candidate was the daughter of Jetroina's Yori Corporation, Mizuki Yori.

Mizuki's father was a renowned man in Jetroina. He was the King of the Underworld, Matsuo Yori.

Besides that, Mizuki's fiance was the second imperial prince of Jetroina.

One could say that Mizuki was the top socialite of Jetroina.

She was brought up like the golden girl and got everything she wanted ever since she was young.

Mizuki used to be a celebrity and had bagged numerous awards through her father's resources and influences.

However, she had her eye on the World Peace Prize this time around.

Her father spent a fortune bribing her way through the judges in the name of charity just so that she could be nominated for the World Peace Prize.

Guests from all over the world filled the hall before the award ceremony officially began. The candidates and judges also made their way in.

The hall was filled with reporters. Everyone was trying to get an interview with Penny and Mizuki, the two hottest picks this year.

Mizuki burned with jealousy when she saw Penny being swarmed by the reporters, all of them trying to get more exclusive interviews with her. The number of reporters around Penny was more than she had ever had.
