Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2838

Gianna answered, “It would be difficult to deal with Nathan directly, so I think we should start with his trusted allies. That will deal a blow to his overall strength, and we could use his allies as bait to lure him to his death.

“I've already looked into the matter. His trusted allies, Colin Dunne and Ava Quinn, will be in the Peacekeeping Forces' headquarters today to train others.

“I plan to go after them and force Nathan to come to his death.” Curious, Antonio asked, “Will he really come to us just to save his subordinates, Colin and Ava?”

Gianna smiled. “You don't know this, Master, but Nathan is a slave to his heart and cares deeply for his men.

“When he was the commander-in-chief of the North Army, he set a rule that was said to be of utmost importance.

“If the army were to get in trouble and had to retreat, the new blood must be the first ones to flee. The more experienced ones were to stay back to buy them time. Similarly, high-ranking officers with greater skills and better chances of survival would be the last to retreat.

“Given how much he cares for his men, he will surely come to us once he learns that his subordinates are in trouble.

“It's as I said earlier. His humanity is his weakness.”

Antonio grinned happily. “Haha, I guess you put a lot of effort into investigating everything. I like your plan. Gianna, Kaiser.”

Both Gianna and Kaiser straightened their backs and simultaneously replied, “Yes, Master.”

Antonio instructed, “I will formally issue the command now. Apprehend Colin Dunne and Ava Quinn and bring them here. I want them alive. We will use them as bait to lure Nathan to his death.”

“Understood,” replied Dianna and Kaiser simultaneously.

Antonio's eyes glowed a little differently when he reminded, “There are a lot of vampires here in Newcove, so if needed, you can recruit them and have them work for you. Just tell them it's an order from me.”

Dianna and Kaiser immediately replied, “Understood.”

Antonio waved his hand dismissively. “Okay, go work. Do not disappoint me.”

The two subordinates left together.

Colin wasn't in the mood for that at all, so he politely declined, “Oh, no. I should return right now, just in case the others can't complete the tasks the president gives them.”

Huey felt a little bad for Colin, but he didn't stop the guy from leaving. “Okay, then let me buy you a drink the next time we hang out, Colin.”

When Ava learned that Colin was leaving in advance, she asked to be pardoned as well.

However, Huey would not let her go. He said, “General Dunne has left, so you can't leave now, Colonel Quinn. I've already had the cafeteria prepare everything for the party. The Peacekeeping Forces and I really want to thank the two of you for your help today, so you can't both leave. You must stay for dinner at least.”

At that moment, Lucio and the dozen Eurasian warriors made their way over to convince Ava as well. “Come on, Ms. Quinn. We really appreciate your advice and everything you taught us today. It benefited us greatly, so at least stay for dinner.”

Everyone was too kind, and Ava felt compelled to stay.

She hesitated for a moment before replying, “Okay, I will stay for dinner.”

Everyone cheered in response.
