“How do you think I’m able to defeat the Sullivans and wipe out your assassin organization?” Zeke retorted.
Huh?
The Demon’s expression froze gradually.
He’s the Great Marshal?
No, this is outrageous! It’s impossible!
“You still don’t believe me? Do I really have to spell everything out for you?” Zeke took out a seal and threw it to the
ground.
Staring at the seal at his feet, the Demon was overwhelmed with shock.
The jade seal adorned with the sculpture of an amethyst kirin was the Great Marshal’s Seal. One simple wave of the
seal could summon all the troops in the country!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was also a saying that no one would be able to fight against the jade kirin if the legendary animal appeared
on earth one day.
He’s really the Great Marshal!
Heavens! I’m digging my own grave by defying his orders!
But I guess I would have no regrets even if I die now! I have finally met my idol!
Zeke interrupted the man’s thoughts coldly, “Can you tell me about Lacey’s background now?”
After a moment of hesitation, the Demon eventually nodded.
The reason for his previous defiance was that he initially thought Zeke was incapable of protecting Lacey.
However, Zeke’s identity as the Great Marshal convinced the Demon.
He said, “Actually, Lacey is from the Thisleton family, the family next in line to the throne. Her father is Ares, the
lord of the Thisletons!”
Zeke couldn’t help but draw a cold breath.
It had never occurred to him that Lacey Hinton would be of such prominent background.
The Thisleton family was considered as royalty.
Even the Sullivans were nothing compared to them, not to mention that Ares was the most powerful person in
Eurasia until Zeke appeared in the picture.
Ares’ influence was only second to his.
After regaining his composure, Zeke ordered, “Continue.”
The Demon said, “Ms. Hinton’s biological mother came from a humble background. She was a servant of the
Thisleton household. By chance, she conceived Ares’ child, so he had no choice but to marry her.”
“After the birth of Ms. Hinton, Ares took in a concubine. This woman was from a noble family too. Jealous of Ms.
Hinton’s mother, a mere servant, she constantly picked on her and tried to get rid of her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“One day, when Ares was not around, the concubine sent someone to assassinate Ms. Hinton and her mother.
Luckily, Ms. Hinton’s mother had a premonition and fled with her child.”
“I was a bodyguard of the Thisletons and was responsible for their safety, so I left with them. But the concubine
sent her men after us eventually.”
“At the most critical moment, Ms. Hinton’s mother jumped off a cliff to distract our pursuers. Although I escaped
with Ms. Hinton successfully, I was badly injured. Luckily, an old couple saved us. Thereafter, I left Ms. Hinton under
their care. They are known to you as Ms. Hinton’s parents now.”
“However, there are people speculating about Ms. Hinton’s true identity now. If word gets out that she is a
Thisleton, it will land her in grave danger. That is the reason I tried to erase our traces and memories.”
Realization dawned on Zeke.
He sighed as he walked towards the window and looked up at the starry sky.
When Ares lost to him a long time ago, he retreated with his family to somewhere discreet.
However, Zeke was certain that Ares would find the opportunity to defeat him at all costs, including recruiting the
help of foreigners.
