Salute To The General
Chapter 536 Going Overboard

Chapter 536 Going Overboard

Jaxon bit down on his quivering lips. "It's our fault this time. We're willing to accept our punishment from

the General."

Nathan narrowed his eyes. "And what fault is that exactly?"

Jaxon was at a loss for words. He really couldn't say it and frankly, he shouldn't say it, either.

"You can't even admit your faults? Is this your idea of an apology?" asked Nathan coolly.

Vance's men helped him over. "Let me apologize in his stead. We Schulzs shouldn't have coveted the

Blue Sky Corporation, nor should we have wanted to take over Cross Group."

It was always hard to start an apology, but once the first sentence was uttered, the rest flowed along

easily.

Vance continued, "We also shouldn't have sent for men to come after you, General, nor have your

family harassed. And we shouldn't have gathered so many men to invade this military base."

"We weren't thinking straight, and have caused so much trouble for the General. We accept our

punishment."

Nathan Cross sneered, "That's not all your trespasses. You've also used Dip Turner and monopolized

all the businesses and trades in the South to amass wealth for yourselves."

"Whenever you noticed an industry doing well, your family would automatically stretch your filthy hands

out. And whenever anyone dared to resist, you would destroy their whole families!"

"The Schulz family is thoroughly atrocious and unforgivable!"

Vance, Jaxon, and the rest all lowered their heads, not daring to refute any of the accusations.

Nathan's eyes fell on Jaxon. "I was going to turn a blind eye as long as you lot steered clear of me. But

you just had to come and push my buttons."

"My punishment to you is simple. The Schulz family will now retire and stay off the radar, and give back

the South their peace and quiet."

What?

Vance, Jaxon, and everyone else's face paled. To have them retreat from the spotlight and stay hidden

meant that they would have to give up all that they had in the South. They wouldn't be able to do

whatever they wanted anymore!

This was completely unacceptable to the Schulz family.

Because if they gave up as juicy a steak as the South, the Schulz family would definitely be done for.

Jaxon couldn't accept it. It was just too brutal. He was Mayor of Brimmopolis! He had plenty of

connections; he even knew some top-level leaders.

There was no way he would just roll over and take it. He gathered his courage and snarled at Nathan

Cross. "General, aren't you going overboard?"

"Overboard?"

Nathan's expression chilled. 'Tm only asking the Schulz family to retire and stay out of sight, and you're

complaining that it's too much? Why didn't you think of this when you were trying to kill me?"

He continued, "But since you aren't willing to accept it, I'll just have to show you what 'overboard' really

looks like."

With that, Nathan Cross took out his cellphone and gave Horace Swayze a call. "Hello, Horace? Don't

you think that the mayoral position in Brimmopolis needs a dose of fresh blood? Maybe it'd do Jaxon

Schulz some good if he were transferred to an entry-level position. That way he might even learn a few

new things."

Jaxon's eyes widened in terror.

At that very moment in Brimmopolis, Horace Swayze was having discussions with other top-level

leaders.

He was beyond shocked to receive Nathan's call.

Horace chuckled awkwardly. "He's suggesting to demote Jaxon Schulz to an entry-level position."

The old man was a little surprised. He then calmly continued, "Don't upset Nathan."

Horace looked at the old man and was stunned by what he had just said. After a moment, he gave a

slight nod and whispered, "Understood. I know what to do." Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm

Nathan handed his phone over to Jaxon. "Someone wants to talk to you!"

With a trembling hand, Jaxon reached for the phone.

He was feeling very, very anxious, like a convict awaiting the judge's sentencing.

Feeling similarly uneasy were Vance and the other Schulz family members.
