Clyde let out a long sigh. Struggling to keep calm, he said, “Alright, Lacey, I’ll admit that you’ve been very clever
indeed to win over my father.”
“I’ll hand over the position as head of the clan to you, as long as you get your husband to call off this bet.”
Zeke immediately interrupted, “It’s only fair that Lacey becomes the new head of the Thisleton clan. It has nothing
to do with our bet.”
“Today, I’ll make sure you make good on your promise.”
As he spoke, he started walking slowly towards Clyde.
With his bloodshot eyes, Clyde looked like an animal gone mad. “You ba****d! You’re nothing but a bully!”
“Williams, I’m warning you now—don’t force my hand.”
“Otherwise, I might do something both of us might regret later.”
Zeke laughed. “I’d like to see what you’ll do to me when I break both of your arms.”
Clyde turned to the five stocky men and hollered, “Listen up, all of you!”
“If he dares to harm me, kill him instantly!”

Zeke’s life force had been damaged, and he was now a cripple. Everyone knew that he was no match for the five
men.
Zeke felt a little sorry.
It would the easiest thing in the world for him to kill these men on the spot.
However, he had promised the colonel to keep his identity a secret. For now, he couldn’t kill them by himself.
Stopping in his tracks, Zeke called, “What are you waiting for? It’s time to act.”
As soon as he spoke, there was a loud crash as one of the windows shattered into pieces.
A black shadow swooped in through the broken window and hurtled towards the five men.
Alarmed, the five men immediately raised their axes to protect themselves.
A series of loud clangs followed as knife met axe. Following that, all five men froze in their spots, standing perfectly
still.
However, the axes in their hands fell to the floor with a series of dull thuds.
They were bleeding profusely from a neat cut that had been made in their necks.
Half a minute later, the five men collapse onto the floor, where they lay completely still.
The black shadow swooped over to Clyde. Grabbing hold of him, it used it sword to pierce a shallow cut on his neck.
The black shadow, as it turned out, was Mr. Collins.
Everyone was shocked.
Advanced as his age was, this man was quite a fighter! He had been able to take down five bulky men at one go
and had even killed all of them without a single injury to himself.
Where did Zeke find a warrior like this?
Clyde was so terrified that his face had gone white.
This old man had murdered five men at one go. If he wanted to, he could kill Clyde too.
Under the threat of death, Clyde finally relented.
His voice shaking, he stuttered, “I’ll leave Atheville...I’ll leave!”
“Don’t kill me, I’ll go right now!”
Mr. Collins laughed coldly. “Let’s go, then. I’ll send you off.”
With his sword still pressed to Clyde’s neck, Mr. Collins escorted Clyde out of the Thisleton manor and out of

A dead silence had fallen over the entire room.
The distinct smell of blood filled the room, making everyone feel rather sick with terror.
Zeke walked over to Lacey and took her hand. “Lacey, come with me.”
He brought her over to the seat of the Thisleton clan head and made her sit down in it.
“From now on, Lacey is the new head of the Thisleton clan.”
“Whoever dares to go against her will meet their untimely death!”
“And mark my words—I’ll be able to kill you. These five bodies here are testament to that!”
Nobody dared to protest. Bowing their heads, they murmured, “We pledge allegiance to our new family head, and
will be her loyal servants for as long as we live.”
Lacey felt pleasantly surprised.
Just now, she had been attacked on all sides by everyone, most of all by the Thisleton family.
Now, she had suddenly become the head of the Thisleton family and could make anyone do her bidding.
Oh, how the tables had turned!
