Salute To The General

The money was soon transferred into Blossom's bank account.

"Is there anything else we can do for you, Mr. Cross?" Shadow Widow asked with a smile.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm supposed to meet a group of friends here," Nathan replied.

Shadow Widow froze in confusion at first. It wasn't until she noticed the people dressed in combat gear behind Nathan that she recalled something.

"Ah, yes, I remember now. A few hours ago, a small team showed up here at Nightfire. The person leading that team told me that someone would be meeting them here. Are those your friends, Mr. Cross?" Nathan flashed her a faint smile. "Probably. Where are they?"

"At the nightclub. Come on, I'll show you the way," Shadow Widow replied.

On top of having a main lobby, Nightfire Underground City was also divided into many different areas.

One of those areas was a fairly huge nightclub.

The place was dimly lit and had music playing in the background while hundreds of people either drank or danced away.

Most of them were either bounty hunters or mercenaries.

Nathan and the others received quite a lot of attention when Shadow Widow led them into the nightclub. After all, it wasn't every day that they saw her being so polite to people.

"Your friends are in that private room over there, Mr. Cross. In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I'll go in and make an announcement first," Shadow Widow told him. Nathan nodded. "Sure."

Shadow Widow then made her way into the private room while Nathan and the others waited outside. Suddenly, Massimo showed up out of nowhere and called out to Nathan with a smile, "Mr. Cross?"

Nathan shot him a cold glance. "Did you need something from me?"

Massimo shook his head profusely. "No, not at all. I just wanted to apologize to you for my rude behavior earlier. I didn't realize you were this powerful!"

"You didn't really offend me, so there's no need for you to apologize," Nathan replied with a smile.

Massimo broke into a huge smile when he saw that Nathan wasn't mad at him. "Thank you for being so magnanimous, Mr. Cross! How about I buy you all a drink?"

That was when Nathan saw Shadow Widow making her way back with a group of people following behind her.

Although they were all dressed in combat gear and had face masks on, Nathan was able to recognize them instantly.

That's Wolfric and his men from the special operations unit!

"Maybe some other time. My friends are here," he told Massimo with a smile.

Massimo was hoping to butter Nathan up so he could gain a powerful ally. Hence, he felt a little disappointed when his plan failed.

Even so, he maintained a smile on his face and said, "All right, then. Next time it is, Mr. Cross."

Nathan nodded at him before walking up to Wolfric and the others.

Daveth and Betty of the special operations unit were quick to greet Nathan when they saw him. "Captain Cross!"

Nathan nodded slightly at them in response.

Wolfric let out a disdainful snort

when he saw Blossom standing next to Nathan "You sure are a brave one bringing her all the way here, Captain Cross he said while walking up to

Nathan with the rest of his crew.

"I like to do a thorough job when helping others. Well, now that she's safe here, I suppose it's time we say goodbye," Nathan replied in the most matter-of-fact tone possible.

Blossom had disappointment written all over her face when she heard that.

He's right. I'm safe now, and Nathan has done me a favor by providing me with the money for the medical bills. I can finally leave this

vampire-occupied territory for good,

and yet, I feel disappointed for some

reason.

Colin, who saw right through Blossom's expressions, let out a silent sigh in response. You're not the first woman to fall for Mr. Cross, and I know you won't be the last.

Nathan then had Shadow Widow help make the arrangements so Blossom could leave the vampire-occupied territory safely.

Shadow Widow was more than happy to befriend a powerful individual like Nathan, so she agreed to his request without any hesitation.

It took Blossom every ounce of willpower she had to suppress her tears as she thanked Nathan again before leaving.

Nathan, Wolfric, and the others made their way into the private room to discuss official business.
