Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2316

Soon after Shigo left, the award ceremony was about to start.

While VIP guests from all over the world filled the audience seats of the mega event, the journalists and photographers gathered around the stage and did live streaming.

The judges had also taken their seats, waiting for the award ceremony to commence.

Penny and the other World Peace Prize nominees were taking a break behind the stage.

After the host had announced the opening of the award ceremony, a few leaders delivered their speeches at the podium.

Penny, Mizuki, and the other nominees would also be giving their speeches on stage, but they had to wait for their turn.

They could hear the audience's applause from backstage after each leader had finished their speeches.

Mizuki looked at the time and realized she would still need to wait for a few others to speak before she could go on stage.

While waiting for her turn, she could not help but turn her attention to Penny. Her eyes darted around for a moment, and she decided to approach Penny with her entourage. “Well, well, well. Isn't this Penny Smith, the medicine girl from Eurasia?”

At that time, Penny was rehearsing her speech in her mind.

Upon hearing Mizuki's voice, Penny tilted her head and saw Mizuki standing in front of her. “Ah, it's you, Ms. Yori. How can I help you?”

Penny could sense Mizuki's sarcasm, but she still greeted her steadily.

Mizuki sized Penny up and sneered, “No one needs your help. I came to check you out because I don't understand why you, a piece of trash, are here. Who are you to compete against me for the World Peace Prize?”

Penny responded in a cold voice, “Please watch your mouth and attitude.”

Mizuki scoffed and continued, “Why should I? I know sluts like you are only capable of seducing men. I bet the rapid development of your company has to do with you selling your body to the senior management!”

Nathan's expression turned grim when he heard how Mizuki insulted Penny. He raised his hand and smacked Mizuki right in the face.

Mizuki was so stunned that she forgot to dodge, as she did not expect someone had the guts to hit her.

Nathan's slap landed on Mizuki’s cheek, causing half of her face to swell.

That slap also sent Mizuki flying before she fell hard to the ground.

Mizuki's entourage were utterly dumbstruck. They ran toward her and helped her up.

Mizuki held her swollen cheek and looked at Nathan in disbelief. “Did you just hit me?”

Nathan said with a deadpan expression, “You asked for it, didn't you? I only did what you asked for. We Eurasians are known for being helpful.”
