Raising his eyebrows, Sixtus said, “Are you sure? If I contact General Sterling, you'll definitely die, especially if he
gets angry. However, if we just let all this go, I promise I won't let him know what happened.”
“Shut up and call him right now,” Zeke scoffed.
“Fine! If you want to die this badly, then I'll fulfill your wish!” Sixtus pressed on his phone again for another call.
Since he was just a person in the underworld, he could not make a direct call to Sterling.
It took multiple calls before he finally got a hold of the general.
Sixtus spoke first. “Hello, general. I'm Miles Mitchell. It has been a while.”
“Miles Mitchell? I know no such person,” Sterling replied, sounding cold.
Sixtus quickly explained, “I used to serve under you, remember? I also attended your birthday before...”
Images flashed through Sterling's mind before he recalled the person associated with that name. “I see. What do
you want from me?”

Once it was over, Sterling asked, “Is he there right now?”
Overjoyed, Sixtus responded, “He is.”
“Turn on the speaker.”
“Okay!” The old man promptly did so.
Sterling went straight to the point. “I don't care who you are, but let him go. If you do, I take it as I owe you a
favor.”
“What if I say no?” Zeke rejected coldly.
“Wait.” Sterling widened his eyes. “What... What is your family name?”
The voice sounded too familiar to him. It couldn't be him, could it?
“Williams.”
Sterling's mind exploded as he slumped in his chair.
Upon hearing the silence, Zeke knew Sterling had recognized his voice as he sneered, “You old dog. I didn't expect
you'd still remember me.”
Sixtus, who still had no idea what was going on, exploded in fear. “H-How dare you call General Sterling an old dog?
You deserve to die! That is an unforgivable crime! I'm so sorry, General Sterling. He deserves all the punishment
that you can think of without question. General Sterling?”
Sterling was already having a breakdown when he confirmed the person he was talking to was the Great Marshal.
That stupid fool! How dare he still continue to insult the Great Mashal! I'm the one who's going to be punished if he
doesn't shut his mouth!
“Shut up! Shut your damn mouth right now!” he roared. “If you say another word, I'll kill you myself!”
Upon hearing that, Sixtus was stunned. Eh? What's going on? Why is he scolding me now? I don't understand.
With a trembling voice, Sterling spoke as intense fear grabbed him by his throat. “Mr. Williams, I-I didn't know it was
you—”

That terrified Sterling so much that he could not say a word for a long time.
The general eventually gulped and apologized, “I know what I did wrong. I deserve to be punished by death.”
“Good. Since you know you should be punished by death, then die,” Zeke uttered as calmly as possible.
Despair was written all over the general's face.
Just a single order from the Great Marshal was enough to sentence him to an unavoidable death.
“I'm willing to die for my mistake, but please don't involve my family. I beg you,” Sterling pleaded.
“If they're innocent, I won't cause them trouble. However, if they are, they'll be punished even more severely.”
“That's a promise, then. I will now carry out the punishment myself.”
Bang!
After a loud gunshot was heard, there was no more sound coming from the other end.
Sixtus and his men were absolutely horrified by what they had just witnessed. A general like Sterling was forced to
death by Zeke just like that!
