“Hey, listen. Twenty thousand is a discounted price,” Scarred Face barked at them.
“Did you know you guys offended somebody important? You would have lost your lives if it weren’t for our
protection.”
“Are your lives not worth twenty thousand?”
Lacey asked, “Who did we offend?”
Scarred Face, “I’m not telling you.”
“The fact is, this person has been targeting you and we are the ones protecting you guys all this while.”
Lacey breathed in deeply and thought for a moment.
She knew who was targeting her father and mother.
“I don’t have much with me now. Only two thousand,” Lacey replied.
“Give me some time and I’ll try to get the money.”
Poor b*****!
Scarred Face cursed at her. Then he left with his subordinates after snatching the money.
Zeke’s heart bled at the sight.

What happened to them these three years when I wasn’t around?
Of course, Zeke would not let Scarred Face off so easily.
He hugged Missy and walked out of the crowd, “Stop right there.”
“Did I say you guys could leave?”
Scarred Face and his people were stumped and turned around.
“Who the hell are you? You don’t even have the right to speak here.”
Zeke smiled thinly, “I’m here to take your lives.”
Daniel and Hannah finally saw Zeke.
The two of them widened their eyes in surprise, and their hearts were thumping as they quivered uncontrollably.
Zeke is back!
After abandoning his wife and daughter for three years, he is finally back.
Why did he come back?
Their minds went blank and they were at a loss.
Zeke carried Missy and approached Daniel and Hannah, “I’m sorry, mom and dad. You guys have suffered all these
years. Don’t worry, I will explain everything later.”
Then, he passed Missy to Lacey.
“Lacey, please look after Missy. Leave this to me.”
“Don’t let Missy watch.”
He turned around and approached Scarred Face.
Daniel and Hannah finally regained their composure after some time.
They watched Lacey in astonishment, “Lacey, what happened?”
Lacey sighed, “I’m not sure. He said he would explain later. Just wait for his explanation.”
Hannah could only sigh.
What is there to explain?
It’s unforgivable that he abandoned his wife and daughter to head to Atlantis and marry Princess Leia.
His explanation would be futile.
Zeke stood before Scarred Face and ordered, “Kneel and apologize. Cut off your tongue to atone for your sin of
chastising others. I shall let you live then. Otherwise, prepare to die!”
Scarred Face and his people were stumped.

“Hahaha! Who the hell are you to order us? You want me to cut off my tongue? Are you high?”
Zeke replied, “I’m their son-in-law. Do you think I have the right to intervene here?”
The crowd was in an uproar at the revelation.
“Hmm? Is he the ba****d son-in-law? The one who abandoned his wife and daughter to marry a rich woman? How
does he have the face to come back here?”
“This kind of person is unforgivable.”
Zeke could only smile bitterly at the murmurs.
It seemed my name was tarnished though and through.
It’s okay. I’ll prove that I’m innocent.
The ruffians burst into a cackle.
“Haha! So you’re the jerk! You look exactly like a rich woman’s boy toy.”
“Why are you back all of a sudden? The rich woman’s done toying with you? Are you abandoned?”
Slap!
Zeke slapped him across the face without hesitation.
“This is your second chance for retribution. Do as I say. Or else, prepare to die.”
