Chapter 1253 Bullied By Pirates


    Seeing that nobody believed him, Nathan could onlyugh ande up with a random story,


    "Alright. It''s actually because the lot from Demon''s Lair is too brazen. Not only did they rob our


    goods, but they also extorted us. So, I told the city officials about the situation that we''re up against.


    The city officials took the matter very seriously and reported it to the military. Who knew Odysseus


    ckwood and his pirates would be wiped out just like that."


    It finally registered to Penny and the rest about what had happened when they heard Nathan''s


    story.


    "The city officials really do look out for ourpany," Penny blurted out.


    The general manager, Peggy Sharlton shed a smile and said, "Of course they have to look out for


    us. The Cross Group is the nation''s leading pharmaceuticalpany. Not to mention it also ys


    an important role in Channing''s economic taxation. The officials won''t just leave us to be bullied by


    pirates."


    With Odysseus'' arrest, Cross Group''s crisis was also averted.


    Penny ended the meeting and returned home with Nathan.


    When they arrived home, they realized Benson, Leah, Kylie, and Queenie were also watching the


    news.


    When Benson saw Penny, he said excitedly, "Penn, do you remember the Pirate King, Odysseus


    ckwood, the one who robbed ourpany''s goods out in the open sea? He and his


    subordinates have been arrested by the military!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "That''s right!” Penny replied with a grin, "Nathan promised me before that the pirates would be


    wiped out within a week. I thought he was just bragging then. Who knew that the officials actually


    listened to his reports and wiped out those pirates."


    Benson and Leah couldn''t stop smiling when they heard this. They agreed unanimously that Nathan


    was their family''s lucky star and was able to turn all their misfortune into fortune.


    Kylie, however, rolled her eyes and thought to herself, There''s no way Nathan''s that lucky. He must


    have mobilized the army to wipe Odysseus and his men out. Even if he really did report it to the


    Channing officials, the military will have to go through a tedious approval process before they''re


    able to take action. There''s no way they can move in so quickly!


    After dinner, Penny, who was feeling depressed before, was now extremely rxed.


    She decided to take Kylie out on a shopping trip.


    The twodies drove to the Emerald Shopping za, which was a famous shopping paradise in


    Channing.


    The two of them visited many jewelry and clothing stores and left with numerous bags of various


    sizes. They then stopped at the shopping za''s open-air cafe for some drinks.


    Suddenly, several SUVs with military car tes roared by, attracting the attention of


    the surrounding passersby.


    Even Penny and Kylie noticed the distinctive cars.


    What they didn''t expect was that these SUVs came to a halt on a street not far from where they


    were.


    A tall man dressed in a Major General''s uniform exited the vehicle together with a few other


    soldiers.


    The people around eximed out loud, "Oh my, it''s a general! He''s still so young.”


    "That''s right. He must have some serious skills to be a Major General at such a young age."


    "He''s so handsome and amazing. It would be great if my future husband is as brilliant as he is."


    After getting out of the car, the tall Major General scanned his surroundings before casting his eyes


    upon Penny and Kylie, who were still sitting at the cafe.


    His lips curled up slightly, revealing a yful smile as if he were a hunter who had just found his


    prey.


    He led his soldiers and headed in the direction of Penny and Kylie.
