The group of customers was so frightened that their legs turned to jelly. Thus, they sank to their knees and
apologized profusely.
“Damn it!” Julian cursed, “How dare you b****es bully my woman?”
“Feed them to the sharks in East Skuld.”
Thud!
Upon hearing this, they broke down and started begging for mercy.
“Let’s not bring ourselves down to their level. If we were to do that, would it not be an insult to our stature?” Emily
said, “Leave them be.”
“Alright,” Julian agreed, “I’ll listen to you.”
“However, all of you will still be punished.”
“All of you will have to kneel here for one day and one night to atone for your mistakes.”
“Yes!”
The group of people started kowtowing once again as they thanked him.
Emily held Julian’s arm as they walked out and entered a Malbec.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly after they had gotten inside the car did Emily release Julian’s arm reluctantly.
“May I ask if it was the Great Marshal who sent you here to help me?”
“Looks like he hasn’t gotten over me yet,” she said cheerfully. There’s still hope for me then.
“The Great Marshal?” Julian spat coldly, “Haha, he’s a nobody to me.”
Hmph?
She got alarmed and asked, “You weren’t sent here by the Great Marshal?”
“Then why did you help me? I don’t think we know each other.”
“Who on earth are you?”
“My true identity is beyond your wildest imaginations,” Julian replied, “Even if I revealed my identity, you still
wouldn’t know who I am.”
“Why did you help me?” she asked.
“It’s very simple,” Julian answered, “That’s because we have a common enemy.”
“A common enemy? Who’s that?” Emily asked curiously.
“Zeke Williams,” Julian spat, “The reason I helped you was that I wanted to recruit you to help me take on Williams.”
Emily wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry.
“Zeke Williams is the Great Marshal. He’s an incredibly powerful man.”
“I’m nothing compared to him.”
“Even you can’t handle him, let alone me.”
“I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong person.”
Julian shook his head. “No, that’s not true. I could have him killed anytime if I had wanted him dead.”
“However, that punishment will be too lenient.”
“I want to torture him slowly. I want to spoil his reputation. I want him to wish that he were dead!”
Julian then proceeded to give Emily an elaboration of his plan.
After hearing him out, Emily’s brows furrowed, “You want to replace him as the new Great Marshal?”
Julian nodded his head. “That’s right.”
Emily studied him from head to toe as she had some doubts about his capabilities.
Although he had shown himself to be very powerful just now, the Great Marshal was no pushover either.
Could he truly replace the Great Marshal?
Furthermore, the reason behind the plight she was in was that she had tried to take on Zeke.
She was quite traumatized by what had happened to her and didn’t have the guts to try any more funny business.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThus, she was in a dilemma.
“You don’t have to give me an answer now. I’ll give you three days to think over it,” Julian said, “Give me a call once
you’ve made up your mind.”
Julian then handed her his name card.
The name card was made of pure gold.
In the meantime, the car had arrived at Linton Group.
With the golden name card in hand, Emily got out of the car and walked towards Linton Group in a daze.
What should I do?
What choice should I make?
If we were to fail, I certainly wouldn’t live to tell the tale.
But if we were to succeed, I would have a chance to become the Mrs. Great Marshal.
Subsequently, she trudged into the toilet in a stupor.
She was about to wash her face to freshen up when she overheard some laughter inside the toilet.
It was her supervisor and several female colleagues who were whispering among themselves.
