Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2885

After delegating the clean-up duties to Dip, Nathan led Colin and Kraven away, with Kerry tagging along without a word.

Though Nathan noticed Kerry following them, he gave no sign that he did.

Nathan and his men then got into their car. Kerry stood timidly by and gazed at the closed doors, seemingly at a loss on what to do.

Suddenly, the back window of the sedan wound down. “Would you like to come in for a chat?” Nathan asked.

Kerry agreed at once before entering the vehicle excitedly.

She was already aware that the man before her was the famous God of War of Eurasia. When she was searching for photos of him earlier, she had also accidentally discovered that he had become the president of Eurasia.

Hence, she was not worried that Nathan would harm her.

Colin started driving after Kerry entered the car, and it cruised forward at a fair pace.

Kerry sat silently beside Nathan and appeared somewhat nervous.

“Are you really a member of the Cross family from Wildefield, East Eurasia?” Nathan asked.

“To answer your question, Mr. Cross,” Kerry hurriedly replied, “yes, I am.”

“In that case, you weren't entirely boasting when you told them that you are my cousin,” Nathan said.

Kerry blushed upon recalling her earlier boast and unflattering words about Nathan and realized he had overheard.

“Is your master Hermes Styles, the God of Thieves?”

“Yes,” Kerry answered truthfully. “I am his only disciple, and I've come to Ariarica to search for him.”

Nathan was astonished. “Did something happen to him in Ariarica?”

“Several years ago, my master said that his good friend, Mr. Macmaster, had run into trouble in Ariarica. He was captured by the Ariarican military and imprisoned on the Ghost Ship.

“My master said the Ghost Ship was a heavily fortified prison with many traps and was certain that only his personal involvement afforded a sliver of hope to rescuing Mr. Macmaster.

Mr. Cross is the disciple of Master's good friend! The world is full of coincidences.

After recovering from her shock, Kerry became gleeful upon recalling Nathan's identity. “Do you know where the Ghost Ship is, Mr. Cross? Are you preparing to rescue your master? Please bring me along!”

Nathan smiled. “I won't lie to you. I'm indeed investigating the Ghost Ship's location and intend to rescue my master, but I can't bring you along.”

“Why not?” Kerry blurted out.

“It's simple. I don't want to bring a burden.”

Kerry was displeased by his words.

“I am not a burden, Mr. Cross,” she said in a huff.

Nathan smiled. “Are you good with a sword or a gun? Do you know how to kill people? Obviously not! The Ghost Ship must be heavily guarded to be able to imprison many of the world's supreme beings. There would be dangers lurking around every corner. I'm not going to bring a helpless girl like you there.”

“You underestimate me, Mr. Cross,” Kerry retorted. “I am a disciple of the God of Thieves. Though I don't know how to fight, I know how to pick locks. All kinds, I might add. I guarantee you will need someone good with locks like I am when you break into the Ghost Ship. Your chances of rescuing Mr. Macmaster and my master will be greater then.”
