Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2222

Nathan nodded in response. “You want me to spare your life? I'll agree on one condition, that is, if you're willing to donate ten billion to Eurasia for charity. I'll let you off the hook if you can dothat.”

Easton found himself unable to say anything.

“What? Ten billion?”

Nathan coldly responded, “The Camden Group ranks tenth among all the consortiums in the world. Your family is wealthier than the entire nation. Ten billion is nothing to you guys, isn't it?”

At that, Easton was on the brink of breaking down.

As much as the Camden family was indeed wealthy, it was not an easy feat for them to fork out a ten billion sum either.

In truth, Easton had several investments in the past years. Those had earned him roughly ten billion for his secret stash. Now that Nathan asked for such a hefty sum from him, it was equivalent to the latter trying to empty his painstakingly earned money.

He cried, “My dear brother-in-law, ten billion is a hefty sum. Can you lower it a little?”

Nathan uttered, “I'll reduce it by a billion since you called me your brother-in-law.”

Easton quickly replied, “Nine billion is still a lot of money. Do you think you can reduce it by half?”

Nathan harshly uttered, “Are you treating this as a public market and asking for bargains? Fine, I can reduce it by half, but the same goes for you. I'll chop off your legs. How's that?”

Easton nearly jumped out of his skin after hearing those words. “1-1 won't bargain anymore! I won't ask for you to reduce the sum by half too. I promise I'll fork out ten billion. I promise...”

Satisfied, Nathan nodded and instructed Colin, “You'll be in charge of this. Make sure the entire sum goes into charity.”

He then turned to the dejected-looking Easton and smiled. “Don't be heartbroken about losing that sum of money. I'm doing some good on your behalf to prevent you from facing more karmas in the future.”

Later that night, Nathan returned to his house

in Channing.

Nathan only smiled at her. “Everything has been resolved. The Blackwell clan has learned their lesson, and Easton has gotten his deserved punishment.”

Penny worriedly asked, “Don't tell me you've beaten Easton to death?”

Nathan smirked. “No. That guy is as crafty as a fox. He willingly acknowledges me as his brother-in-law while begging for forgiveness. Because of that, I couldn't bring myself to kill him. It's all for your sake."

Penny's face flushed embarrassedly. “Are you serious? The Camden family has been trying to break us apart. Yet Easton calls you his brother-in-law?”

Nathan pulled a warm smile on his face. “I'll never lie to you. Oh, anyway, I have a video recording of him bidding farewell to you before he left Eurasia. Have a look at it.”

As soon as he finished, he took out his phone and played the video.

In the video, Easton sat in a wheelchair as he made a speech in a slightly awkward tone. “P-Penny, I have to leave Eurasia and return to Eagleland... We have never considered your feelings in the past and keep disturbing your peaceful life. We went even further as we tried to separate Nathan and you from each other. On behalf of Dad, and the Camden family, I'll apologize for everything we've done to you and Nathan. I promise that we will never bother the two of you again. Once again, I'm sorry. Goodbye.”

Penny was in shock after watching the video. She could not believe that the Camden family, who had always been exceedingly cocky and domineering, would be tamed by Nathan that easily.
