Salute To The General

Chapter 2347

Chapter 2348



Over the following week, Derrick stuck to the plan and carried it out accordingly.

On Sunday, Nathan and Kylie were playing with Queenie in the backyard when Colin and Thomas arrived.

"Mr. Cross!" Thomas called from afar as he hastened his stride.

Nathan reciprocated the greeting with a nod. "It's been a while, Thomas.

What have you been up to?"

Thomas presented a box in response, still smiling from ear to ear. "I've been in Marsingfill for a trip, Mr. Cross. Here are some caviar and jerky, two of their best exports! I've enjoyed them during my stay and thought to share some with you."

Nathan smiled. "How kind of you."

After having Colin put the box away, Nathan turned his attention back to Thomas. "Marsingfill's biggest export isn't food or drink. I think we all know you were there for the casinos, weren't you?"

Thomas suddenly looked uncomfortable.

Only expecting to tease his subordinate, Nathan did not expect that to be the very purpose of his visit.

His brow tensed for a moment before relaxing again.

"See to it that Queenie finishes her homework," he said to Kylie.

Kylie nodded and took Queenie indoors.

Remaining in his wicker armchair, Nathan surveyed the other two. Thomas looked embarrassed while Colin narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Nathan took a sip of his hot tea and spoke again when Queenie and Kylie disappeared back into the house. "Why don't you tell me what's going on?" "Tell you what, Mr. Cross?" Thomas said timidly.

Nathan scowled. "The honest account of how much money you've lost in Marsingfill! We both know you're not here to give me canned goods, so why don't you get to the point?"
