Salute To The General

Chapter 298 He Has A Way With Women

Carl Russo bowed his head lower and replied, "Please don't put it that way. I've heard rumors that Mr.

Turner had decided to spare Nathan Cross' life, but Shannon insisted on killing him. As such, Mr.

Turner had ordered Franklin Wilson to execute my daughter as a punishment for her. The purpose of

my visit today is just to find out whether those rumors are true.”

"What if the rumors were true then? And I was the one who asked Franklin Wilson to end your

daughter's life. What would you do?" Dip Turner asked.

Carl Russo fell on his knees at once and said, "My daughter had gone against Mr. Turner's wishes, and

for that, she had gotten what she deserved. I have no objections."

Seeing that Carl Russo was willing to humble himself in such a manner despite his daughter's passing,

Dip Turner eased up and said, "I did agree to spare Nathan Cross' life, but I didn't say that Shannon

was not allowed to seek revenge on him. I had no intentions of punishing Shannon, and it wasn't me

who ordered Franklin

Wilson to execute her. But I can't be sure if the Major-General did that on his own accord to please

me."

After hearing Dip Turner's account, Carl Russo lifted his head and replied, "That's what I thought too. If

Mr. Turner wanted to punish my daughter, all you had to do was to instruct me to do it. There was no

need for Franklin Wilson to be involved at all."

"Franklin Wilson is a rising star in the military in these two years. I've also heard that he's a follower of

the General of the North Army. If you are intending to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so

easy," Dip Turner said.

Indeed, Carl Russo did not have the nerves to mess with Franklin Wilson. However, now that both his

son and daughter were dead, he had to take it out on someone and avenge his children.

Since it was not possible for Franklin Wilson to be that someone, Nathan Cross was the only option

left.

In Carl Russo's opinion, Nathan Cross was the main culprit behind his children's deaths. As such, he

was the number one enemy of the Russo family.

Carl Russo replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Turner, I won't make things difficult for Mr. Wilson. But Nathan

Cross, who's the instigator, has to die."

Dip Turner nodded and said nonchalantly, "Recently, I've also heard that Nathan Cross' wife, Penny

Smith, had secured the exclusive agency rights of the liver cancer vaccine which Professor Jenson had

successfully developed without much effort."

Carl Russo was momentarily stunned when Dip Turner brought up that topic. He knew that the man

would not do that casually so there must be a good reason behind it.

His guess was that Mr. Turner was also interested in the distribution rights of the vaccine, as it was a

lucrative business.

Understanding Dip Turner's intentions, Carl Russo immediately replied, "Yeah, I've also heard that

Penny Smith is a stunning beauty, but also a flirtatious and loose woman. She must have seduced

Professor Jenson with her good looks in order to secure the rights to the vaccine so soon. Mr. Turner,

after getting rid of Nathan Cross, I'll seize the distribution rights and give you an equal share of any

income derived from it. It's my way of showing my respect for you."

Dip Turner was smiling from ear to ear as he said, "I knew that out of so many proteges of mine, you're

the most dependable one."

Carl Russo replied with a dry smile, "It's just my responsibility as your protege. Without Mr. Turner's

guidance and efforts, the Russo family would not be enjoying our status in the South today."

Mr. Turner's smile grew broader as he listened to Carl Russo. However, he dismissed the man's words

and said, "Even though you are my protege, I can't just reap the rewards without having any

contribution. I have a suggestion. You can deal with Nathan Cross and avenge your children in any way

you want and I won't interfere with it. As for Penny Smith and the agency's rights to the vaccine, we can

leave it to Joseph Queen. That guy sure has a way with women."

Right after Dip Turner finished talking, a slim-built man with dashing good looks strolled into the study

gracefully. He was Joseph Queen, who Dip Turner had just mentioned.

Joseph was Dip Turner's godson. He was incredibly attractive and was a smooth talker. In fact, his forte

was to sweet-talk women. As such, he had earned himself the nickname 'Don Juan'.

Joseph Queen gave a respectful bow to Dip Turner once he entered the room, before flashing a smile

at Carl Russo. "Mr. Russo, you can focus on dealing with Nathan Cross and I'll handle Penny Smith. I

guarantee that she'll be so smitten with me that she won't be able to think about anything else other

than being pinned under me. Naturally, I will be able to make her hand over the rights to the vaccine

willingly," the man said.

Dip Turner laughed heartily and said, "Joseph and Carl, I shall wait for the good news from both of you

then. Don't you let me down?"
