Salute To The General

Chapter 402 Is It Worth Sacrificing For Him

Nathan Cross just gave Colin Dunne the order to find Penny Smith when his phone rang.

It was a phone call from Terrence Ortiz. "Both of them, your right-hand man, Thomas Dunn, and your

wife, Penny Smith, are now at my mercy, Nathan Cross." He laughed sinisterly.

"Come to the slaughterhouse if you want them back alive. If you bring anyone else, you will see their

corpses instead.

Remember that."

"I'm coming over right now. You are so going to regret this," Nathan replied in an icy tone.

Terrence Ortiz snorted and laughed out loud, "Regret? You will be the one regretting it tonight. How

dare you go against us Southern Four and Mr. Turner!"

"Well, we could consider sparing you and your wife if you cooperate and transfer the manufacturing

rights to the liver cancer vaccine to us obediently."

Nathan Cross was about to say something when Penny Smith's voice came from the phone. She

sounded anxious, "Don't fall for that, Nathan! They were just discussing how to kill you after you hand

over the manufacturing rights to the vaccine!"

"Please don't come for me, honey. Don't bother about me, just call the police." Penny started sobbing

over the phone.

"Manage the company well and take care of your parents and our daughter, please don't risk your life

by coming here..."

"Shit! Why didn't you seal her lips with tape?" Zucker Johnson cursed angrily.

Terrence Ortiz was enraged when his plot was uncovered. "How loyal is your wife to you, Nathan

Cross. I'll give you 20 minutes to turn up. If you don't, I'll rape her before killing her!" He threatened

loudly over the phone.

Zucker Johnson was afraid that their plan to kill Nathan Cross would fail if he didn't turn up. "Ya, we will

only keep her safe for another half an hour. Arrive later than that and you shall live in regret forever!"

He added before hanging up on Nathan Cross.

Nathan turned pale as he held on to the phone. "Tell Colin Dunne that I'm going to the slaughterhouse

right now!" He ordered Quinten and Juan.

It was in the middle of the night at the slaughterhouse.

The moon and the stars were absent from the night sky as dark clouds loomed over the horizon. Now

and then, lightning flashed across the sky, accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder.

There was going to be an unusual storm evidently that night.

200 fine men from the Ortiz family and the Johnson family lurked inside and outside the

slaughterhouse. Some of them were hiding in the dark while some of them were in plain sight.

Iron hooks with blood stains were hanging from the ceiling in the slaughterhouse.

The floor was wet and there was an unbearable stench of blood and meat.

Thomas Dunn was lying on the ground on the brink of death while Penny Smith was tied to a chair with

ropes.

The Assassin was just a few steps away from them, sharpening a thick butcher knife that was half a

meter long!

Meanwhile, Terrence Ortiz, Zucker Johnson, Madeline Lynch, and a few others were discussing their

next moves.

Terrence frowned upon noticing the time. "Why hasn't Nathan Cross arrived yet? It's already been 10

minutes. He can't possibly chicken out and leave his wife with us, can he?"

Right after that, Madeline Lynch signaled Terrence Ortiz with a look.

Terrence understood what she was getting at. He turned to the tied-up Penny Smith and threatened

her, "I'm afraid that Nathan Cross won't be coming, Ms. Smith. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends,

they say. Well, you are now in deep trouble, but your husband isn't here to save you. Is it really worth

sacrificing yourself for him?" New chаpter avąilable on Drаmаոоvеls.cоm

"If you hand the manufacturing rights over, we may be able to offer you some money, isn't that nice?"

Terrence Ortiz continued.

"I know what you are trying to do. I'm not letting you sow discord between Nathan and I," Penny Smith

replied coldly.

"He's kind and determined. He's so caring to his family and friends. He is and will never be the moron

that you want me to believe!”
