Salute To The General

Chapter 1950



The compound of Blueside Villa was littered with expensive cars. Every single person either ran a corporation or had influence in the government. They came bearing gifts, and took the opportunity to curry favor with Sherman, smiling and bowing sleazily.

Sherman felt pleased with being surrounded by people who worshipped him.

"No, Mr. Goldstein," Aron answered. "General Franklin Wilson is not here yet. Same goes for Thomas Dunn and the Smiths."

"Thomas Dunn is Nathan's lackey," Sherman said dismissively. "He knows that I'm here for Nathan's blood. I don't expect him to show up. Nathan's in-laws are the Smiths. Sean Smith is aware of what I'm after too, and he's too scared to show up. I don't blame him."
