Salute To The General

Chapter 33 Punishment For Your Crimes

"Send these people and evidence of their crimes to the police, and make sure no one escapes. They

will be dealt with severely," Nathan Cross told Colin Dunne.

"Yes, Sir!"

Colin Dunne gave Nathan Cross a resounding salute, before commanding his forces to take Dan Hugh

and his goons away.

Bob Hoffman and his workers had only recovered from their shock after the special forces left the

scene.

Penny Smith whispered to Nathan Cross, "Can you explain this? Why do you need so many elite

fighters to arrest Dan Hugh?"

Nathan Cross blinked and smiled. "Didn't I tell you? I used to be in the military. My former chief just

happened to be in Channing with his troops for an antiterrorism operation, so Dan Hugh was just really

unlucky."

"Then...why did that officer just now address you as his senior?" Bob Hoffman asked curiously.

Penny Smith looked at Nathan Cross as well, waiting for an answer.

Nathan Cross's smile was unwavering. "They were probably just being nice to me for the chief's sake."

That managed to convince the others that Nathan Cross was merely an ordinary retired soldier.

Dan Hugh and his gang had been really unlucky to run headfirst into an antiterrorism operation, which

had resulted in their arrest.

That was the punishment for all their crimes.

However, Penny Smith continued to stare at Nathan Cross with a doubtful expression.

Nathan Cross' story seemed reasonable enough, yet she could not help but wonder if there was more

to it.

Nathan Cross changed the subject, "Alright, the troublemakers are gone now, so let's get back to work,

shall we?"

Night fell, and the broadcast of the news of the day began.

Meanwhile, in the Smith family mansion...

The important members of the Smiths sat around the dining table for dinner while watching the news

on TV.

"Samuel, if I remember it correctly, Cross Corporation is demolishing Asiatic village today, yes? How's

the deal with the Nine Tattoo Dragon?" Sean Smith asked.

Samuel Smith grinned. "I got some intel from Big Brother Draco this morning. He had already sent

people to wreck the machinery that Cross was going to use, as well as to beat up the workers on the

project. That should be enough to scare them off." "I didn't manage to get any more updates after that

because of my meeting this afternoon."

Sean Smith was satisfied with his answer. "Very good. Give him a call now, and tell him to stir up as

much trouble as possible. Penny Smith needs to understand that she's incapable of managing this

project on her own." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Samuel Smith nodded and took out his phone to call Dan Hugh.

However, he froze the moment he started the call.

Everyone at the table looked at Samuel Smith in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Samuel Smith was just as bewildered as they were. "It's saying that his phone is off. Did his phone run

out of battery or something?"

Suddenly, Miles Smith pointed at their huge LCD TV mounted on the wall. "Look! It's Big Brother

Draco!"

Everyone whirled around to look at the screen, only to see troops of paramilitary loading the gangsters

into their vehicles.

The camera then cut to one of them, who had happened to be the Nine Tattoo Dragon himself.

The voice of the newscaster resounded, "An anti-crime operation was carried out in the city today,

which resulted in the capturing of a group of dangerous criminals. They are headed by Dan Hugh, who

has committed a number of serious crimes over the past few years. He will be dealt with severely..."

The Smiths took a while to recover from their shock. "Big Brother Draco...got busted?" Samuel Smith

croaked after a long moment.
