When Mr. Collins saw Lacey, he was intrigued. “You look really familiar. What is your relationship with Ares?”
Mr. Collins used to be just as well-known as Ares back in the day. They were known as the Taichi Duo.
He was extremely familiar with Ares.
Lacey replied, “Ares is my father.”
Mr. Collins lamented, “I can’t believe given how fat and ugly Ares is, he can father such a beauty. By the way,
what’s your relationship with the Great Marshal?”
When he realized that Lacey and Zeke appear to be close, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“He is my husband.”
Hearing that, Mr. Collins didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
“Great Marshal, you have gone overboard. First, you defeated Ares and took away his glory. Then, you took his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdaughter and made her your wife. Can’t you give that guy a break?”
Zeke rolled his eyes at Mr. Collins. “Don’t be an ass, buzz off!”
The latter burst into hearty laughter.
Meanwhile, Zeke walked toward Rowan.
“Rowan Krate, are you in charge of the Third Military Factory?”
Rowan looked at him with disdain. “Are you the Great Marshal? I’ve seen you before.”
If it were the Great Marshal of old, Rowan would have dropped to his knees.
But now that the Great Marshal had lost his powers and sidelined, his influence in Eurasia was also greatly reduced.
With Connor backing him up, Rowan wasn’t afraid of the Great Marshal.
In the face of Rowan’s arrogance, Zeke remained calm and wasn’t bothered by it.
“Now, I have two orders for you.”
“First, get your men out of the building and compensate Linton Group double for the damage you have caused.
Then, apologize to Lacey on your knees...”
Rowan interrupted Zeke, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that.”
“I’m just following orders. There’s a protocol I have to adhere to. Besides, what gives you the right to order me to
retreat and apologize? Just because you’re the Great Marshal? Are you above the law?”
Zeke replied, “Don’t be hasty, let me finish.”
“The second order is that if you complete the first order, I will allow you to surrender yourself to the military court,
and also get your sentence reduced. Or don’t blame me for executing you.”
Rowan retorted, “What law have I broken?”
Zeke explained, “Selling state secrets and smuggling weapons. These are very serious crimes.”
Rowan threatened, “Please show some respect when you speak. Without any evidence, I’ll sue you for libel.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke smiled. “It appears you’re unwilling to repent. Men, arrest him.”
Wolf’s Greed and Benjamin stepped up and seized Rowan.
The man was infuriated. “Great Marshal, you’re going overboard. You’re breaking the country’s law for your own
selfish interest. Disregarding the law means you disrespect Eurasia. Are you trying to rebel?”
When he finished, the soldiers that came with him seemed to have gotten a signal.
As they scrambled out every nook and cranny of the building, they pointed their guns at Zeke.
At that moment, Rowan smirked as everything was going according to plan.
His real objective was to kill Zeke.
Just mentioning the word ‘rebel’ was enough for him to execute the marshal on the spot.
Even if he had jumped the gun, Connor would protect him.
Rowan was aware that Connor had wanted Zeke dead for a long time. It was just that his plans failed repeatedly.
If he managed to dispose of Zeke with his plot, Connor would not only protect him but also reward him handsomely.
Furthermore, he would also get his hands on Linton Group.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
