Salute To The General
Chapter 2516

If some random people were to tell Penny they could handle the situation, she wouldn't have believed them.

However, she had an inexplicable trust in Nathan. He's the Chief Military Governor of Eurasia now. Perhaps he could do something to change Ariarica's mind.

Penny nodded. "Okay. I'll lead the executives of Cross Group to negotiate with Ariarica. I'll try my best to safeguard our interests against Ariarica, and I'll leave the rest to you." Sure!" Nathan answered.

That night, Nathan stayed awake while the others went back to their rooms to sleep. He went to the study room and asked Colin to meet him so that he could replace out what was going on.

"Mr. Cross, I think I have already understood this matter. I was told that Max is angry at how you disrupted the Nine-Nation Summit. After he went back, Ariarica started to sanction the well-known companies in Eurasia. They're retaliating against us," Colin uttered. Max doesn't know I'm Eurasia's Chief Military Governor, does he? Why is he targeting Cross Group?" Nathan frowned.

"Max doesn't know you're Chief Military Governor, Mr. Cross, but he has long regarded you as a potential threat. Besides, Cross Group has recently gained international fame and made a lot of money from cancer drugs and cancer vaccines. Hence, Ariarica has long been jealous, and they've been eager to bring Cross Group down. They're just taking the opportunity to launch their attacks against us."

Nathan nodded in response. After pondering for a while, he rang Garrett Since Garrett was a workaholic, he'd often stay up late to work.

He was still awake when Nathan called, and it only took him a few seconds to pick up the phone.

Without wasting time, Nathan told him about the sanctions by Ariarica.

"I've been informed about this, and I've planned to bring it up with the Cabinet tomorrow. Since you've called, I'll tell you about it first. This time around, we can't give in to them. We'll defend ourselves no matter what. If they don't budge, we'll come up with countermeasures. However, that could be detrimental to both sides. That's why I'm still hoping to have a negotiation with them first. We'll need the military to help us gain an advantage in the negotiations. Based on what happened before, the moment the representatives from Ariarica arrive, so would their gunboats. In response, we should carry out drills to scare them off. Nathan, if that's what Ariarica is going to do this time around, I hope you guys can flex our mighty military prowess. Once we've shown our enemies our might, they'd surely feel intimidated. Only then will we have the upper hand in the negotiations," Garrett uttered. "Yes. I understand, Sir," Nathan replied.

After hanging up the phone, Nathan pondered for a few seconds before instructing Colin, "Tell Sage to cancel all the military vacations and get them to enter battle mode. Tell him the order came from me personally." "Yes, Sir!"

Two days later, a private plane landed at the airport. Ariarica's team of representatives had arrived to negotiate with Cross Group. After the plane came to a halt, people could be seen coming off of the plane in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, their leader was a tall and beautiful girl from the East.

Her name was Jemma Danvers. She was the representative Ariarica sent to negotiate with Cross Group.

Behind Jemma was a pale-skinned and bald middle-aged man.

The man was from a military background. He was tasked with escorting Jemma on the trip. Jemma had no idea what the man's name was, and what was his exact position. All that she knew was that the man was nicknamed Oceaniac, and he had formidable war capabilities. Oceaniac and Jemma were also accompanied by a team of bulky subordinates.

When they were coming out of the airport, there were more than ten black sedans waiting to pick them up.

After getting into the car, Jemma lifted her chin and instructed the chauffeur coldly, "Head straight toward Cross Group!"

"Yes, Ms. Danvers!"

The convoy cruised through the highway.

With her icy gaze, Jemma glanced at the scenery outside the car window. A grin then appeared on her face as she muttered to herself, "Ha! Who would've thought a b*tch like you would end up being a chairman of a renowned company? It seems like you've been living a nice life here. However, your good days are coming to an end now that I'm back."
