Salute To The General

Chapter 1245 Shall We Make A Bet

It took the members of Cross Group's senior management quite some time before they returned to their senses.

Immediately, someone raised their objection against Nathan's suggestion. "Nathan, Odysseus is one of the most fearsome pirates in this region. In fact, he's the leader of Demon's Lair; the one that dominates the sea. The Seven Kings of Demon's Lair are his subordinates and they have always been known as a brutal bunch. Even the navy of several countries failed to get rid of them. Do you really think you will be able to take him out?"

Another member of the senior management said, "That's right! Odysseus has warned us to transfer the requested sum to his account before the clock strikes twelve tomorrow. Otherwise, he will take action against us starting tomorrow. I'm afraid the life of everyone in this conference room will be at stake if we refuse to give in to his request!"

Nevertheless, Nathan reassured everyone in a calm and collected manner, "Don't worry. No one's life will be at stake. By twelve o'clock tomorrow, I will get rid of him once and for all. Please be patient for the time being."

Since everyone had conflicting viewpoints and opinions, Penny decided to take the matter into her hands and announced, "No matter what, Cross Group will never give in to the pirates! We won't pay them the toll they have demanded either! I'll get in touch with the cops and request them for their aid as soon as this meeting is over! Apart from that, the company's recent exported goods will be freighted through the air for the time being."

As Penny was the chairman of the board of directors and the president of Cross Group, she has the rights to make the final decision personally.

The members of the senior management couldn't rebuke Penny's decision since she had made up her mind. They decided to carry out her instructions for the time being.
