Salute To The General

Chapter 1253 Bullied By Pirates

Seeing that nobody believed him, Nathan could only laugh and come up with a random story, "Alright. It's actually because the lot from Demon's Lair is too brazen. Not only did they rob our goods, but they also extorted us. So, I told the city officials about the situation that we're up against. The city officials took the matter very seriously and reported it to the military. Who knew Odysseus Blackwood and his pirates would be wiped out just like that."

It finally registered to Penny and the rest about what had happened when they heard Nathan's story.

"The city officials really do look out for our company," Penny blurted out.

The general manager, Peggy Sharlton flashed a smile and said, "Of course they have to look out for us. The Cross Group is the nation's leading pharmaceutical company. Not to mention it also plays an important role in Channing's economic taxation. The officials won't just leave us to be bullied by pirates."

With Odysseus' arrest, Cross Group's crisis was also averted.

Penny ended the meeting and returned home with Nathan.

When they arrived home, they realized Benson, Leah, Kylie, and Queenie were also watching the news.
