Salute To The General

Chapter 686 You Have Crossed The Line

Gladius stared at Nathan Cross in disbelief. He seemed to have forgotten the pain on his face. He murmured, "There's no waythat you are the Chief, no way, no way..."

Who would believe that Nathan Cross was the Chief? He looked so young. Nonetheless, Major-General Wilson had salutedNathan Cross!

Major-General Wilson gave his salute to Nathan Cross with full respect, addressing him as the Chief, which could only mean thatNathan Cross was someone of high authority.

At that moment, it became clear to Gladius why Nathan Cross had remained fully calm, even after he had gotten ridiculed byGladius a few days ago. Instead, Nathan Cross had said these words, "For as long as | live, you will never be able to outmatchme.

Soon, Gladius finally understood why Nathan Cross appeared to be so confident, even as he was being confronted by Gladius’subordinates.

Everything seemed clear to him now, which also explained why Colin Dunne, the bodyguard of Nathan Cross, was such asharpshooter.

It had all boiled down to one reason... Nathan Cross was a big shot in the military!

In acalm tone, Nathan Cross spoke to Gladius who had gloominess written all over his face, "Whether you were born out ofwedlock a long time ago, or whether you are the master of the Cross Family now, it hadn't mattered to me at all.”

“Even when you'd arrived in Channing a couple of days ago to disrupt my life, | still kept my cool.”

“Unfortunately, your actions today have crossed the line. Go ahead and say your last words, | will convey them to the CrossFamily."

Fear clouded Gladius’ eyes as he trembled in terror. "You want to kill me? You can't do that..." he pleaded with a quavering voice.

Upon hearing that, Nathan Cross reached out for a glass of champagne on the table, took a sip, smiled, and asked, "Why can'tre"

Gladius was tempted to threaten Nathan Cross, saying that the Cross Family would not go easy on Nathan if Nathan had killedhim.

However, on second thought, he felt that this could not be used against Nathan Cross due to his current status.

Hence, he changed his mind and blurted out, "Aren't you the Chief now? You are a military man, so aren't you supposed toprotect the country and ordinary people such as myself?”

“How can you kill me? If you kill me, it will go against your duties to protect innocent people!"Nathan Cross smiled and turned around to look at Franklin Wilson. "What do you think?" asked Nathan.

Franklin Wilson held a serious expression as he replied in a sturdy voice, "Yes Chief, it is true that our duty is to protect thecountry, and we are not allowed to harm innocent people, but this person here is no ordinary person... He is a perpetrator ofheinous crimes!"

"He has no fear for the law and threw five businessmen into the sea. His brutal way of dealing with people shows his crueldisregard for human life."

“Furthermore, he had gathered more than a hundred people, armed with guns and weapons with the attempt to attack you,Chief. According to the law, this person is a ruthless criminal, and therefore, no trial is needed. He is liable to be executed righton the spot."

With Nathan Cross being a high-ranking military officer now, Gladius knew that he was no match for Nathan, so he thought thatthe only way to prevent Nathan Cross from killing him was to distract him by bringing up ethical concerns.

He thought that as long as his life was spared on that day, he could get his parents to bail him out of trouble, through family ties.

Nonetheless, hearing what Franklin Wilson had said had sent shivers down his spine. His body froze and he started trembling infear.
