Salute To The General

Chapter 55 Death Wish

Although this was not the first time Penny and Bob had seen Nathan in action, they still found

themselves surprised at his prowess.

Approaching her husband, Penny asked in concern, "Nathan, are you alright?"

Nathan smiled as he replied, "Little upstarts like them can't possibly hurt me."

Bob spoke up, "Boss, Mr. Cross, what do we do now?"

Nathan was quick to answer, "Call the police again and have them come to deal with these

troublemakers. Also, contact the drivers at the construction site and ask them to drive these trucks

away. Everything will proceed like normal."

"Yes, sir!"

After that, Penny and Nathan got back in their car and headed towards the park at Mount Blanc to pick Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

up the rest of their family.

As they arrived back home, Benson and

Leah volunteered to cook a delicious feast for everyone.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Penny went to open the door, only to find several stern-looking men dressed in police uniforms

standing on the doorstep.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a serious look on his face as he asked, "Are you Ms. Penny

Smith?"

Shocked, Penny subconsciously answered, "Yes, I am. What's happening?"

"I'm the vice-captain of the police, Harold Lee. Is your husband in? He's being suspected of

intentionally causing harm to others, so we need to bring him back for questioning.”

Just then, Nathan appeared by her side. Narrowing his eyes at the men at their door, he asked, "I'm

Nathan Cross. Are you sure that you're here to arrest me?”

Harold eyed him contemptuously. "We're not here to arrest you, we're here to merely ask you to come

with us to help with the investigation.”

Lips twitching into a small smile, Nathan answered, "Okay, I'll go with you. I would like to see how

you're investigating this."

Panicking as her husband was taken away by the police, Penny hurriedly explained to her parents what

was happening. Leaving her daughter in their care again, she rushed outside to go to the police station

with Nathan.

When they arrived at the police station, Carl and his men were boldly sitting right there. The curly-

haired man was kicking up a fuss as he shouted arrogantly, "Hey, somebody get me some medicine for

my bruises!"

Angry at how these troublemakers were not behind bars while her husband was being treated like a

criminal, Penny turned to Harold, demanding, "What's going on? These men detained my construction

company's trucks without my permission and even beat up my drivers! Why aren't you locking them

up?"

The man scoffed in reply, "Ms. Smith, are you telling us how to do our jobs?"

Flushing at how offensive her words had sounded, she shook her head. "That's not what I meant.

They..."

Harold cut her off, "They're innocent. They were only protesting your trucks that were using and

destroying their roads. Your husband, on the other hand, deliberately injured them. I'd brought the both

of you here to investigate this matter.”

Just then, Carl swaggered over, a hand clasped to his badly injured face. His eyes were smug and

hateful as he stared at Nathan. "You little shit! How dare you beat us up? Do you have a death wish?"

Turning to Harold, he continued, "Vicecaptain Lee, this couple attacked thirty of my men. I'm

demanding at least one million for each man they'd injured as compensation."

Immediately furious and astounded at the audacity of the man, Penny shouted, "What? You guys

purposely stirred up

trouble first, but now you're demanding thirty million from us? Why should we pay you!”
