Salute To The General

Chapter 1045 A Hard Slap

Reuben widened his eyes. "Morris, do you mean it?”

Morris placidly said, "We have to avenge Gregory. After we kill Nathan and Penny, the only one left in the Cross family will be their daughter, Queenie. We as distant relatives of the Cross clan will claim guardianship for Queenie. That way, the Cross Group will be ours."

Upon hearing his brother's plot, Reuben excitedly replied, "What a great plan! It's simple and effective."

Morris instructed, "I'll leave this to you. But remember, it's best for you to look for an outsider to kill Nathan and Penny. If the public found out that we are the ones who killed the Cross couple, it'll be difficult for us to secure Queenie's guardianship."

Reuben grinned. "Understood.”

Over at Cross Group, the employees were overjoyed when they heard that Q.Than had been approved by the FDA. Furthermore, Penny had given everyone a three-day leave and a raise in return for their hard work.

As they had three days free, Nathan, Penny, Kylie, Queenie, Benson, and Leah all went for a trip.

Their destination was the West.

They took a flight to Johnstone City before driving to the tourist town of Honeyrock Valley.

It took them hours of driving through deserted lands before reaching the town.

Honeyrock Valley was a scenic location, a paradise in the desolate West.

There were many ancient infrastructures, including temples.

As Leah was a devout Buddhist, she would pray at every temple she came across. Hence, the group's first destination upon arriving at Honeyrock Valley was the temple.

Asmiling monk welcomed them when they entered.

“Are you here to pray?”

Leah answered, "Yes!"

The monk then swiftly offered Nathan and the rest three sticks of incense and asked them to light their incense. Only then did Nathan and the rest notice the Buddha that was enshrined in this temple was Yab-yum.

The statue depicted a man and a woman hugging while barely clothed.

After they offered their incense, the monk asked with a smile, "Alright. Now that we're done offering incense, it'll be 300 for one person and 1800 in total.”

Penny and her family widened their eyes, and Leah exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive? How can you charge 300 for one incense stick? How can you possibly ask us for 1800 in total? You're just robbing us!”

Upon hearing her words, the monk dropped his smile, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. "The price for offering your incense in Honeyrock Valley's temple has always been the same. Why are you here if you don't have enough money? Pay now, and pay no less than what I've told you."

Once the monk finished speaking, over a dozen fierce-looking men appeared. When Penny and her family saw them, their faces paled drastically.

Benson was an honest but cowardly man. He had heard that tourists were often cheated in small towns like these. Sometimes, if the tourists resisted, they would be beaten to death.

He hurriedly whispered to the rest, "Let's not insist on our ways. Just think of it this way: we're paying for our safety. Upon hearing his suggestion, Nathan smiled. "Alright, we'll pay." At that, Nathan took out his wallet.

Kylie was furious that the temple was cheating on the tourists. She took out her phone and took a photo of the temple's interior, planning to post it on social media to warn others against coming here in the future.

However, when the monk saw Kylie taking photos, he howled, "She took photos of our Buddha. This is disrespectful towards Buddha. It'll be a fine of 2000. The total comes to 2800!"novelbin

Penny and Kylie were enraged and stunned by the monk's statement.

Instantly, a shadow blurred the monk's vision.

Slap!

An explosive sound echoed throughout the temple.

Nathan had slapped the monk and sent him flying. As he did so, the monk spat out a mouthful of blood and teeth. The scene shocked everyone present.
