Julian nodded blindly. Although he didn't really understand what Connor meant, he dropped to his knees
nonetheless. “Yes, yes.”
After paying their respects, Connor remarked, “Julian, have you found a lead after I ordered you to locate Zeke?”
Julian replied, “Father, I have deployed all our men to search for Zeke in the deep waters he fell into. However,
there is no trace of Zeke and the four Ultimate Class masters. Perhaps they have met their end after being
devoured by the giant fishes in the river. However, don't you worry. I already have Zeke's wife and daughter in my
custody. As long as he is still alive, he will come looking for them. Therefore, he will not be able to escape from our
grasp.”
Connor nodded in approval. “Mmm-hmm. That's a great idea. To ensure that everything goes smoothly, you have to
be personally responsible for it.”

With that, Connor left.
Watching Connor's silhouette go, Julian was filled with mixed emotions.
Zeke's wife, Lacey, was Ares' own daughter. When Ares was reunited with her, he cherished her as if she meant the
world to him.
In fact, he spoiled her so much that he made her the head of the Thisleton family.
It has been only a short time, yet he starts to tighten the noose on her. Father's attitude seemed to have changed
drastically. It's as if he is a different person.
That wasn't the first time Julian suspected that this Ares was an impostor.
However, he wasn't prepared to dig any deeper.
It doesn't matter if he is the real one or not. After all, he regards me highly and has helped me to become the head
of the Thisleton family. In fact, he even trained me into a King Class warrior. So what if he is an impostor? All that
matters is that he is on my side.
However, Julian was still worried about Lacey whom he saw as a threat.
If my suspicions are correct, this Ares must be a fake. What will happen when the real one comes back and
supports Lacey to challenge me for my position as the head of the Thisleton family?
Therefore, he decided to pre-emptively dispose of his enemy.
Taking out his phone, he ordered, “Tell the men to make sure Lacey doesn't survive the night. Also, clean up your
tracks so that it doesn't lead back to me.”
“Understood!”
After the order was cascaded down through four or five layers, it finally reached the ears of one called Hound.
Hound was a bully who was in charge of a particular pedestrian street.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was the same street where Lacey and Missy were living on.
Connor had used his authority to seize all of Lacey's assets. Hence, she was thrown onto the streets as a penniless
vagabond.
Luckily, she had managed to sell some of her jewelry and rented an old house on that street.
When she heard that Zeke had sacrificed himself for the nation and was currently missing, she cried for days on
end.
Nevertheless, her spirit was still strong despite the burdens in life she faced.
In order to make a living and care for Missy, she would take on three to four jobs a day to supplement her income.
With the help of her friendly neighbors, she was able to scrape through every day.
That day, Lacey went to work as usual and left Missy locked at home alone.
Given that Julian was trying to destroy them, there was no way she would allow Missy to go to school.
Just when Lacey stepped out of her home, the old owner of a breakfast stall outside called out to her before she
could lock the door.
