What?
Benjamin and Mr. Collins were dumbfounded.
After going through all the trouble to capture Rowan, the Great Marshal wants to let him go even before
questioning him?
What is going on in the Great Marshal’s mind?
Mr. Collins said in an unsatisfied tone, “Great Marshal, thousands of our comrades from the Seal Mercenary have
died at his hands. Why are you acquitting him so easily?”
Zeke responded, “Hold on, let me explain first. I found out that it was Connor from the Prince’s Residence who
transferred Benjamin from Northern Xinjiang to Atheville. So the sniper who attacked me the other day was most
likely sent by him.”
“Also, Connor is the main reason why Rowan managed to rise through the ranks from a small mercenary. As it turns

Rowan has told us everything, he should be released without charges,” he added.
Rowan interjected angrily, “I don’t know anyone named Connor. Also, when did I tell you everything? You’re just
rambling nonsense! You actually believe what was said?”
Zeke then said, “Of course we don’t believe it. Nevertheless, your boss Connor would think you betrayed him once
we let you go! If you didn’t, why would we release you? Tell me, what consequences would you face for betraying
Connor?”
Mr. Collins and Benjamin looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.
The Great Marshal is such a devious rascal.
He is intentionally sowing discord.
Rowan almost blew his top.
You are the Great Marshal. How could do such a despicable thing!
Mr. Collins released Rowan and said, “You can leave now. I’m glad that you finally submitted to the Great Marshal!”
Nevertheless, Rowan refused to leave.
If he left Cygnus Room in one piece, Connor would suspect that he exchanged confidential information for his
freedom, and his family would not be safe at that point.
What should I do?
Zeke took out Rowan’s confiscated phone and gave it to him, saying, “Oh right, a young girl called to look for you
just now. I’ve sent some men to protect her.”
When Rowan saw the phone number, a cold shiver ran down his spine.
It was his daughter’s number.
He looked up at Zeke and said fiercely, “What are you trying to do to my daughter?”
Zeke replied, “Nothing. I just made sure she has undercover security. If you come clean, I promise your family will
be safe. If not, my men will just stand aside and watch Connor attack your family.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRowan sank into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of each option.
After a long while, he finally raised his head and said, “I just want my family to be safe. Please ask your men to send
them to this place.”
“What place?” Zeke asked.
“An apartment in Fortland Sanctuary,” Rowan answered.
He then wrote the full address on a piece of paper and passed it to Zeke.
“Sure,” Zeke agreed.
Immediately after, he made a phone call, “Send Rowan’s family to Fortland. I’ll send the address to you in a while.”
Rowan had arranged Fortland Sanctuary as a safe house for his family before this in case he had to deal with such
situations.
Safe houses were extremely common in the political realm of Eurasia.
After Zeke sent the address to his men, he said, “Alright, speak now.”
But Rowan shook his head, saying, “Not yet. I will only tell you everything after my family arrives at the destination
safely.”
Zeke snapped as his patience wore out, “Are you questioning my credibility? What makes you think you have the
right to bargain with me now?”
