Salute To The General

Chapter 988 You Are Nothing To Me

"lam Jackie Wales, the Head Warden of this prison." Nathan extended his hand in greeting. ‘Tm China's ambassador to Volk, Nathan Cross."

Jackie ignored the proffered hand, only saying coldly, "Your guards will have to remain here. Only you alone can come with me to see the two Chinese girls inside. Furthermore, you can only see them for ten minutes. Now, if that is clear, follow me inside."

Nathan nodded in agreement. "Lead the way!" Jackie curtly ordered the surrounding prison guards to watch Nathan's own guards. Bringing another ten of the prison guards with him, Jackie proceeded to lead Nathan into the depths of the prison.

Even as they entered the dark depths of the prison, Nathan maintained his calm image outwardly, appearing unruffled as ever. But internally, he had been soundlessly memorizing each turn of the path they had taken, as well as the defensive capabilities of each prison guard post they had passed, both seen and unseen. His eyes flicked across his surroundings, committing every single detail to memory.

This place was Volk's military prison, known for imprisoning the most notorious and dangerous criminals in the country.

The prison's formidable defense system was top-of-the-line. Coupled with the thousands of prison guards stationed here, the prison could be said to be nigh inescapable.

All too soon, Jackie had lead Nathan into the literal belly of the beast. They stood in front of a dark, dank cell.

Even now, in the cell, Penny was comforting Grace and trying to encourage her, saying that Nathan was definitely coming to rescue them.

But the truth was, beneath her resolutely determined demeanor, Penny was almost as desperate and panicky as Grace.

She wondered if Nathan could really get them both out of here. It was a hopeless question she could not answer. Everything seemed so far-fetched.

Which was why it seemed like a dream too good to be true when Nathan actually did show up outside of their cell. "Nathan!" "Mr. Cross!"
