If it weren't because she had faith in him, she might've joined him in the afterlife.

Therefore, she couldn't even keep herself calm when her husband returned to her.

He kissed her on the forehead and apologized, “Lacey, I'm so sorry for scaring you. We'll brace ourselves through

the challenges awaiting us in life together.”

Out of nowhere, Lacey shrieked, “Missy! Our daughter was kidnapped by those bad people! You need to save her!”

As soon as she recalled that their daughter had been abducted, torrents of tears streamed down her cheeks.

“You need to calm down, Lacey. I've sent someone to get their hands on our daughter's whereabouts. I'm sure

they'll return with great news soon.”

“I'm afraid she won't make it through whatever they have in store for her since she's just a frail little girl! W-What if

she's—”

“Lacey, you need to stop overthinking things. From what I've heard, Missy was kidnapped because her abductor

was interested in her talent and wanted to recruit her as a disciple. There's no way Missy's life will be in danger.”

Despite his words of reassurance, she wasn't convinced at all. Her emotions were written all over her face.

In an attempt to divert her attention, Zeke suggested, “Why don't you come with me for the time being?”

Zeke brought Lacey out of the cave and showed her the way to the place he kept Jackson confined.

Ares had spent the night interrogating Jackson, who was barely alive after being tortured with different methods for

the past few consecutive hours.

As much as he thought of killing himself, there wasn't anything he could do since Zeke had sealed his energy with

Ammo Needle.

Lacey shrieked at the top of her lungs when she caught a glimpse of Jackson's situation.

Ares turned around and expressed his excitement when he saw Lacey, “Lacey, I'm glad you're finally awake!”

The moment Lacey saw Ares, she hastily hid herself behind Zeke in fear.

She just couldn't forget the things the fake Ares had done to her previously.

Even now, she was unaware that the man who picked on her back then was Connor instead of her father.

At first, Ares was confused at Lacey's response. Seconds later, he figured out the truth and bellowed, “That d*mn

Connor Black! I can't believe he had the guts to pick on my daughter while impersonating me! I'm going to kill him!”

Zeke was quick to fill her in on the truth.

When he was done, Lacey was stunned. Shortly after, she returned to her senses and expressed her concerns, “You

must have had it tough as well when you were imprisoned against your will. Allow me to express my utmost

apologies for not being much of help when you needed me the most.”

Overwhelmed by guilt, Ares couldn't resist the urge to weep. He spent most of his days blaming himself for not

playing the role of a father for Lacey all these years.

Yet now, instead of holding a grudge against him, she was even apologizing for not being much help. This only

served to make him feel guiltier even as he was touched by her kindness and thoughtfulness.

As guilty as he might be, he was glad to have such a reliable daughter. It was then he made up his mind to appoint

his daughter as his successor.

Zeke asked, “Have you figured out Missy's whereabouts?”

Ares answered after heaving a long sigh, “I tried everything I could, but he told me he wasn't aware of Missy's

whereabouts since his men weren't the ones behind Missy's abduction. He refused to tell me anything else.”

Zeke looked Jackson in the eyes and announced in a callous tone, “It doesn't really matter since we have plenty of

time to kill. Torture him until he tells us everything we need to know. No matter how much he wishes to die, he can't

kill himself.”

“Yes, sir!” Ares replied with a nod.

Jackson raised his head and looked at Zeke in return, cursing the man in front of him in his mind.

H-He's a freaking demon!
