Salute To The General

Chapter 52 Who Backs Nathan Cross

That night, Samuel, Miles and May visited Joseph Myers, while bearing a lot of expensive gifts.

Dressed in a tunic, the man was currently in his living room with Harry Leigh, plotting his revenge on

Nathan Cross and Penny Smith.

When he saw Samuel and his family, his eyes narrowed as he said indifferently, "Smith."

Samuel gestured for Miles and May to present their gifts. Plastering a smile on his face, he said, "Mr.

Myers, I've heard that the crazy man had injured you. Hence, I've brought you some supplements. I

hope that you'll get well soon."

At the mention of his assault, Joseph's face darkened. Never had someone dared to smash a beer

bottle overhishead.

"I'll never forgive that b******!"

Harry Leigh shifted slightly, his floral shirt moving aside briefly to reveal the tattoos covering his chest.

His lips split into a wide grin as he assured Joseph, "Mr. Myers, leave this matter to me! I promise you

that I'll make sure that they regret the day they'd dared to offend you!"

Samuel stared at the well-built man before him in shock. His voice was weak as he asked, "You're the

underground overlord of Channing, Harry Leigh?"

Harry replied smugly, "That's me."

Turning to Joseph, Samuel said, "Mr. Myers, Nathan Cross is a dead man if you have Mr. Leigh helping

you."

Ignoring the man who was speaking, Joseph looked at Harry Leigh. "Mr. Leigh, I want Nathan Cross to

regret the day he was born. I want his company destroyed and his life to be ruined. I also want you to

bring me his wife. Can you do that?"

Harry smiled savagely as he answered, "That's easy."

As if to prove his statement, he immediately called Channing Bank's director, Liam Harrison, so that he

could get a feel of this Nathan Cross. Then, he would plan his next move.

Occasionally, there were debts that were unable to be collected by the bank. When this happened, the

bank would usually hire men like Harry Leigh to collect those debts. Thus, as the director of Channing

Bank, Liam Harrison had to have connections with the underground. That was how they had known

each other. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

When Liam heard that Harry was trying to teach Nathan a lesson, his expression fell.

His voice was stern as he warned, "Harry, I advise you against taking this course of action. Mr. Cross is

not someone whom you'd want to cross.”

Since Harry had left his phone on loudspeaker, everyone present heard his words.

Harry snorted, "Director Harrison, are you saying that I shouldn't cross Nathan Cross? Me, the king of

the underground?"

Liam replied seriously, "Yes. I suggest that you leave him well enough alone. Otherwise, you might just

be defeated at his hands."

Taking into consideration Harry's pride, he had tried to warn him off in the best way that he could.

In truth, if Nathan Cross wanted, one order from him and Harry Leigh would be made to disappear from

the city.

No matter how well-intentioned Liam's words were, they still sounded particularly offensive to Harry.

Hecould not afford to anger a nobody like Nathan Cross? What a joke!

Sneering, he replied, "I get it now. I've heard you and a bunch of old farts recently invested in Cross

Corporation. You don't want me to mess with Nathan Cross because you're worried that it might affect

your profits, am I right?"

Liam laughed bitterly. "As a friend, I'm telling you that you'll lose your life if you insist on doing this. If

you don't want to believe me, that's your call.”

Narrowing his eyes, Harry questioned, "Then tell me this. Other than Thomas Dunn, does Nathan

Cross have anybody else backing him up?"

"No," Liam answered honestly. Technically, hewasspeaking the truth. Nathan Cross was the Ares of

The North, a general in his own right. Why should he need anyone to back him up?

Unfortunately, Nathan's identity as a general was top secret and Liam had dared not leak it. He did not

want to be arrested for unauthorized disclosure of state secrets.

Liam's reply had Harry feeling relieved. At this point, he was assured that the other man was simply

trying to scare him off, no doubt because he was worried about his investment.

"I know what to do now, you don't need to worry about me."

Realizing that the other man was

determined to get revenge for Joseph Myers, Liam shook his head and sighed, "Don't say I didn't warn

you. It's your grave you're digging!"
