At the same time, he would intimidate the Thisletons with his identity as the Great Marshal to not mess around with
Lacey anymore.
Suddenly, the butler rushed in. “Young Master Clyde, something bad...”
When he entered, his words paused mid-sentence after seeing the bloody scene in front of him.
Clyde, the head of the family, had his limbs cut off!
Lying pathetically in a pool of blood, he was on the verge of dying.
Feeling chills run down his spine, the butler yelled, “Who dares to be so vicious to Young Master Clyde?”
When Clyde saw the butler, a hopeful look appeared in his eyes.
“Save me... Send me to the hospital quickly.”
“Yes, Young Master!” The butler walked towards Clyde briskly.
“Who dares to do so?” bellowed Zeke furiously.
His voice was so deafeningly loud that the butler felt a sharp ringing in his ears as blood shot up to his brain.
It was as if he were about to faint.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtForcing himself to stop mid-way, the butler dared not to move a step.
Zeke continued, “Tell your boss about what happened.”
The butler glanced at Clyde hesitatingly.
“Tell me,” mumbled Clyde with much difficulty.
Hence, the butler said, “The Great Marshal suddenly issued an Ultimate Command. Now, all the borders of Atheville
have been sealed!”
What?
Clyde shuddered, feeling like this was all too surreal.
No. It can’t be! The Great Marshal issued an Ultimate Command and sealed Atheville?
Is everything merely a coincidence?
Impossible! How can there be such a huge coincidence in this world?
Unless... Zeke is really the Great Marshal!
No wonder the Thisleton family did not do anything to Zeke after he crippled Julian.
It’s because he is the Great Marshal!
I’ve been opposing the Great Marshal all this while, even bullying his wife.
Oh God... I’ve been digging my own grave!
The sheer terror was too much for Clyde, causing him to faint right then.
Even Lacey was paralyzed in shock as she stared at Zeke, her mouth agape.
With an apologetic look, Zeke said, “I’m sorry for hiding it from you for so long, Lacey. I concealed my identity
because I was too worried about losing you.”
Taking a deep breath, Lacey exclaimed, “So, you’re the one whom I’ve proposed to during the Great Marshal’s
ceremony.”
Zeke nodded his head solemnly.
Lacey continued, “The beggar whom I saved in the past was you too?”
Again, Zeke nodded.
Suddenly, tears gushed out of Lacey’s eyes as she stroked Zeke’s head tenderly.
“From a miserable beggar, you became the mighty Great Marshal. What have you experienced over all these
years? You must have been living a hellish life.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like Lacey was not resenting him for now.
At that moment, Zeke’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Wolf’s Greed, Zeke accepted it.
Wolf’s Greed said, “Sir, I’ve managed to track Ichiro Yamano down and cornered him to the rooftop of a shopping
mall. He is guarded by the Four Great Ninjas, so I cannot defeat them alone. Hence, I’ve contacted Lone Wolf and
Sole Wolf. They’ll come and back me up soon.”
Zeke said, “Never mind. Tell Sole Wolf and Lone Wolf to stay at their posts. I’ll act personally. Since they’ve held my
daughter hostage, I can only guarantee her safety by taking action myself.”
With a hesitant tone, Wolf’s Greed warned, “Sir, you’re still severely injured. If you fight them, your injuries might
worsen...”
But Zeke replied, “It doesn’t matter. Just do what I say and stall him. I’ll arrive shortly.”
“Yes, Sir!”
After hanging up the call, Zeke assured Lacey, “I’m going to save Missy now. Stay here and don’t go anywhere.”
