Salute To The General

Chapter 1933



That night itself, Penny used all her connections to find out where Nathan was, yet her efforts were to no avail.

Nathan was extremely cautious with his whereabouts and left no trail behind. If even Clifford was unable to track Nathan down, how could Penny's search yield anything?

She had been making calls for the whole night and had reached out to many people, but still, her efforts went to the drain.

Penny could not sleep a wink that night. Nathan occupied her thoughts as she tossed and turned in her bed most of the night before she finally drifted into slumber when the day broke.

After a short rest, she brought Ava out with her in the morning to continue their search for

Nathan. They went to look for Lachlan Hagel, the head of the Armed Forces of Channing city, who invited them in.

Despite his willingness to help, he was merely the person in charge of the city's Armed Forces. He was unable to provide the two women with any substantial information.

After knowing the reason for their visit, Lachlan smiled regretfully from his desk. "I'm in charge of the soldiers in Channing here in the South, so I have no idea about what's going on in the North Army. I'm so sorry I don't have any useful information about the General, Ms. Smith."
