Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2871

At the entrance of a hotel in Newcove, Mueller and Nathan were shaking hands before they separated.

Grinning, Mueller said, “Mr. Cross, don't you worry. I will receive an update tomorrow, so we can meet again.”

Nathan beamed. “Sure!”

He and Penny drove back to their temporary accommodation.

Feeling excited, Kraven told Nathan, “We will finally find out where Master is tomorrow. I'm both delighted and worried!”

Nathan nodded. “Tonight shall be a sleepless night. I hope Mueller delivers good news tomorrow.”

That night, Nathan had difficulty falling asleep and only did so in the wee hours of the morning.

Nathan woke up at dawn.

He washed himself up and did some exercise. After he had breakfast with Penny, it was almost nine in the morning.

Nathan led Penny, Colin, Kraven, and his other subordinates to pay Mueller a visit at his residence. He wanted to know where Lothar was as soon as possible.

When Nathan arrived, Mueller came out to welcome him personally and led him to the reception room.

They took their seats, and a servant served them tea.

Miller shot Nathan a welcoming smile. “Mr. Cross, you're here this early as you're concerned about Lothar's whereabouts, right?”

Nathan chuckled. “I owe my master a lot. I was worried as he went missing in recent years. Thus, I'd like to know his whereabouts as soon as possible.”

Mueller bobbed his head. “Don't worry. I sent my trusted subordinates to find out where your master is. They found some clues previously, so I believe they will give me an answer today.”

Right after he said that, a female secretary rushed in hastily and whispered something in Mueller's ear.

Mueller's expression changed drastically.

Shocked, he blurted out, “What? The men I sent to find Lothar's whereabouts are either dead or unreachable?” There was also a hint of fury in his voice.

Hearing that, Nathan furrowed his brows.

Behind Nathan, Kraven couldn't help but grow anxious.

The female secretary lowered her head and responded in a low voice, “Yes. I just received news that most of the men you sent were killed overnight. The rest were unreachable as though they had disappeared into thin air.”

Mueller was infuriated.

The call was ended.

The moment he hung up, the secretary said, “Sir, I shall relay your order to the respective departments to find out who killed our men. We'll also find out where the missing men are!”

She turned around to leave.

However, Mueller stopped her. “Wait a minute.”

Stunned, she turned over her shoulder to see an embarrassed Mueller.

“Stay put for now. We can deal with it later,” he said awkwardly.

The secretary was confused.

However, she noticed how awkward Mueller looked and realized his change in demeanor had something to do with the phone call.

She gave a curt nod and didn't question his decision. “Understood.”

She then left the reception room.
