Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 259

That night, when the Cross family sat down for dinner, Benson brought up the topic of the plot of land at Phoenix. Worry and anxiety clouded his face.

Chuckling, Penny answered, "Everything has been resolved.”

With that, she explained what had happened earlier.

Listening closely, the family was relieved to hear the great news. Smiles broke out across everyone's faces.

Staring at Nathan, thoughts swirled around in Kylie's mind.The mayor is looking out for local enterprises, huh? I seriously doubt that's the true reason. If I'm not wrong, this must be your doing. The mayor wouldn't dare to ignore your wishes. You really are amazing, brother-in-law of mine!

Laughing lightly, Penny commented, "Tomorrow, we'll be starting the construction of the pharmaceutical factory. Although, I still have no idea who I should appoint as factory manager."

At once, Nathan responded, "What do you mean? There's a perfectly suitable candidate right in front of you."

Thinking he was volunteering, she stared at him in surprise. "You?"

He shook his head as he replied, "No, no. I can't manage a factory. I'll be too strict."

He was not exactly wrong. If he were to be the manager, the factory would end up being run like a military boot camp. None of the workers would last long.

"If not you then who?" she wondered.

Pointing to his father-in-law, Benson, he suggested, "How about Dad? He studied business management and was the General manager at Diva Limited. He has the credentials and the experience. I'm sure he'll be able to handle it."

Benson's heart leaped in his chest at his son-in-law's words. You know me well, kid! How did you know I still had the ambition?

However, when he turned to his daughter, his voice was uneasy, "I'm not that old yet, so I wouldn't mind having something to do. But a factory manager? I'm not sure I'll be able to bear that responsibility."

Leah chimed in, "Why don't you let your father try it out?"

Hurrying forward, Nathan went to check on Benson's injuries while Penny questioned, "Mum, Dad, what happened?"

Leah replied, "We were just walking by when we saw a group of men trying to stage a traffic accident. Angry at the injustice, your dad berated them for their immoral actions. That infuriated the men and they beat him up before fleeing."

Tears sprung to Penny's eyes as she took in the badly beaten form of her father. She scolded, "Dad, you're not exactly a spring chicken anymore. You should have called the police on them, not take things into your own hands."

In an anxious voice, Leah bemoaned, "Exactly! Look at you now, you'll probably need to go to the hospital for your injuries. The men who beat you up are long gone, even the driver that nearly got scammed has already driven off."

Done with checking over the older man's injuries, Nathan lifted his head as he reported, "His nose is probably broken and he has a lot of bruises all over him. We'll need to get him to a hospital."

Infuriated, Benson grabbed Nathan's arm as he snarled, "Nathan, being beaten up like this in front of my own home is just unacceptable! Could you find those bastards who did this to me and punish

them?"
