Salute To The General

Chapter 281 The Training That Will Lead To A Dreadful Death

Leo finally understood that the party was just a disguise. Ms. Shannon's real objective was to destroy

Nathan Cross in front of Channing's most important people from all walks of life.

That was her idea of settling scores in a high-profile manner.

However, Leo had his concerns. "Ms. Shannon, if we organize a business reception in the name of Mr.

Turner, all the distinguished personages of the city would flock to attend. Do you think it will upset Mr.

Turner if we make use of his reputation this way?”

Shannon Russo replied haughtily, "Mr. Turner also can't wait to get rid of Nathan Cross. If the party is

organized in his name, and we manage to kill that man during the party; everyone would think that it

was Mr. Turner who was behind it. Don't you think Mr. Turner will be pleased instead of feeling

offended?"

After Leo heard Shannon Russo's analysis, he replied, "I'll see to it immediately!"

The news on Dip Turner, King of the South, was holding a business reception at the Channing Hotel

spread quickly across the city of Channing.

It was the hottest talk of the upper-class social circle in Channing. Everyone was vying for an entry

ticket to the party and took pride in having one.

It was no doubt that Dip Turner was a paramount presence in the South.

Penny Smith was delighted that she had received an invitation as well.

She conveyed the good news to Nathan Cross at the first instance. She said as she could barely

contain her excitement, "Nathan! Dip Turner is organizing a business reception in Channing and we

have been invited! Oh my God! We're in luck."

An unfathomable glint flashed across Nathan Cross's eyes. According to his source, Dip Turner was

the one who instigated Henry Lancaster to cause problems for him previously.

After Henry Lancaster was defeated in Channing, it was rather odd that Dip Turner was suddenly

holding a party here.

Regardless of the authenticity of the information he gathered, Nathan Cross was sure that this

business party was set up as a trap for himself and Penny.

As such, he replied to his wife nonchalantly, "It's just a business reception. Why are you so excited

about it. I don't think it's really that important for us to attend the party."

Still reeling with a surprise from the invitation, Penny Smith said, "Nathan, are you aware that Mr.

Turner is a very influential and powerful man in the South? If we can get into his good books, it would

be a breeze for us in terms of our business or political dealings in the area. Everyone is eager to attend

this cocktail party which he's holding.”

Penny noticed that Nathan seemed totally unmoved by what she just said.

Unable to elicit a favorable response from her husband and feeling frustrated, the woman said,

"Anyway, it's not every day that we get to attend Mr. Turner's party. Nathan, please go with me

tomorrow night."

Nathan replied obligingly, "Sure honey.

Let's go there and have some fun together tomorrow."

As the man knew the true purpose of tomorrow's business reception was to deal with him, he felt that it

was very likely that Dip Turner himself would be present at the event.

However, he did not see that man as a threat. Nathan had previously declared that even if Dip Turner

were standing in front of him, he would still have to do his bidding.

As such, Nathan Cross was unfazed even if the party was set up as a trap for him.

Nathan and Penny did not go home for dinner that evening. Instead, the couple chose to dine at a

restaurant near Venttos Park, as it had been a while since the two of them went out for a date.

As the Venttos Park was within walking distance from the Cross Group building, Nathan and Penny did

not drive. Instead, they took a stroll to the restaurant.

There was one particular elderly man who looked strong and as fit as a fiddle; he was practicing

Kungfu and seemed like a master at it.

He was surrounded by an audience who was cheering him on.

When Nathan and Penny passed by the crowd, Penny said as she was astonished, "This old man is so

hale and hearty! His moves are so precise and powerful.” Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm

is powerful!

Apart from the old man who was shocked to hear that, Penny and the rest of the spectators also stared

in disbelief.
