Both of them felt assured when they confirmed that no harm had come to Lacey’s parents and Missy after they
returned home.
“Daddy, hug me. You haven’t hug Missy for the last three days.” Missy requested immediately when she saw Zeke.
Zeke carried her up dotingly, “Missy is such a good girl. Have you been listening to Mommy?”
“Mommy scolds Missy. Daddy must stand up for me.”
Hahaha!
The whole family burst into laughter.
While Hannah and Lacey were preparing dinner in the kitchen, Daniel asked Zeke to head out to the balcony for a
chat.
He passed a cigarette to Zeke, “Zeke, we were stuck in a traffic jam on a broad and spacious road today. It was a

Daniel was used to such politics when he was still working in his former workplace.
Thus, he could tell at a glance that the dump trucks had approached them with ill intentions.
Zeke was apologetic, “I’m sorry. I have not thought things through properly. I will arrange for someone to protect
you secretly.”
Sigh...
Daniel sighed, “Zeke, I heard that you are injured and are now no different from a commoner now?”
Although there was no official announcement from Eurasia yet, rumors were flying. Hence, it was no surprise that
Daniel had caught wind of the news.
Zeke fell silent. He could not reveal the truth to Daniel. Knowing the truth would not do him good.
Daniel mistook Zeke’s silence as his tacit admission and that he was too embarrassed to confess.
“Zeke, this may be a good thing for you. Since you are reduced to a mere commoner now and can’t contribute to
the nation any longer, you can retire peacefully now. Isn’t it good for us to live as a normal family instead of fretting
over occasional death threats?”
Zeke replied solemnly, “I will take your advice into consideration.”
How nice will it be if I can retire peacefully, just as Daniel has just said? But now that I am about to be the King Class
warrior and a core member of Eurasia, I will have to bear much heavier responsibilities now.
No one received any news from the warriors, who had been sent to kill Zeke.
As the disappearance of these warriors was of the utmost concern to their nations, they had sent several teams to
search for them. Finally, with the help of the search-and-rescue dogs and advanced technology, they found the
corpses of those warriors buried deep in the sand.
The nations were infuriated and demanded an explanation from Eurasia, as they deduced that Eurasia had killed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtheir warriors, given that the bodies were discovered near its borders.
But Eurasia had only provided a simple explanation: These warriors had run into a sandstorm, thus were buried
alive in the sand.
Needless to say, the other nations did not believe its explanation.
Their warriors were more than capable of surviving a sandstorm. Furthermore, it was too much of a coincidence for
so many warriors to die in a sandstorm together.
Thus, they continued to demand a logical explanation from Eurasia.
But Eurasia ignored them and presented the same explanation to them each time when they asked: Their warriors
had died in a sandstorm.
Though infuriated, the other nations dared not act against Eurasia. Intuition was telling them that other than the
Great Marshal, a mysterious force was protecting Eurasia. Otherwise, their warriors would not have died at the
same time.
Indeed, their hunch was right.
Few days after their warriors died, Eurasia made a sudden announcement. It wanted to crown a warrior as the King
Class warrior! The newly-crowned King Class warrior was bound to shock the world!
