Although Lone Wolf was Byron’s supreme commander, he had never met Lone Wolf before.
To be exact, he was not qualified to meet Lone Wolf.
When he saw the three-star badge on Lone Wolf’s shoulder, he knew a person like Lone Wolf surpassed him in
terms of power and influence.
He forgot about Zeke temporarily as he led his team to welcome Lone Wolf.
“Byron Hunt from County Armed Forces at your service, Colonel!”
Lone Wolf scanned the place with one glance and frowned, “What happened here?”
Byron answered, “There were two gangsters who came here to cause trouble. They assaulted several men and
even insulted the Colonel. According to the law, I need to arrest them.”
“I am the Colonel,” Lone Wolf said. “Who insulted me?”
Byron was overjoyed.
He didn’t expect to meet the Colonel in person.
This is great. I won’t have to deal with Zeke on my own.
He pointed at Zeke. “It was him!”
Lone Wolf furrowed his brows and walked to Zeke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtByron and the others were elated.
Hah! The Colonel will definitely punish Zeke.
The way he insulted the Colonel just now is enough to get him killed.
However, everyone was stupefied by what happened next.
Lone Wolf stood in front of Zeke and gave him a military salute.
“Brother, what happened?” he asked.
Zeke answered, “Blake Hunt colluded with Byron Hunt. They humiliated a martyr’s family members and ruined a
military wedding. On top of that, he wanted me to kneel and apologize to him.”
“I’ll teach them a lesson for you.”
W-What?
Byron and the others’ hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
Brother?
Even Lone Wolf, the Colonel, addresses him as ‘brother.’
Isn’t he the subordinate of a deserter?
How is he worthy of being addressed as ‘brother’ by the Colonel?
What is his background?
Mrs. Raider and Caroline had tears running down their cheeks.
If Clive knew this influential figure came to pay tribute personally, he would surely smile in his grave.
Lone Wolf’s face darkened as he roared, “Byron Hunt, get over here right now!”
Byron felt as if his legs were made of lead. Each step that he took felt arduous.
He stood in front of Lone Wolf and cried, “Colonel, please listen to my explanation. Commander Raider was not a
martyr but a deserter.”
Zeke scoffed, “If Commander Raider is not a martyr, no one else in the world deserves the title of a martyr.”
He reached into his chest pocket to pull out a red cloth and spread it out.
It was a red flag!
He placed the red flag carefully over Commander Raider’s ashes and gave a military salute.
“Rest in peace, Commander Raider,” he said.
Whoa!
Everyone went silent.
The national flag! This is the ritual of a state funeral!
Commander Raider only held a low position in the army, so why did he deserve a state funeral?
Mrs. Raider was frightened. “Young lad. I mean, Colonel. My son was merely a lowly commander. He does not

Zeke said with resolute, “He saved my life. This alone is more than enough for him to receive a state funeral.”
“Salute!” Lone Wolf commanded.
Everyone saluted in unison.
Even the Colonel deems Commander Raider worthy of a state funeral!
Blake and Byron were flabbergasted. They might as well be dead right now.
Damn! Who on earth did we offend?
One word from Zeke was enough for Commander Raider to receive a state funeral.
Who could this person be?
How did Commander Raider know such a powerful person?
Zeke took a glance at Byron.
Disheartened by the situation, Byron immediately knelt down with a thud.
Lone Wolf asked, “Brother, how should we deal with them?”
Byron and the others trembled with fear as their lives depended on Zeke.
Zeke asked, “Do you want to live or die?”
