Zeke could not be bothered to waste his energy paying attention to Ares.
He was more aggressive than Sole Wolf.
Zeke called for the researchers of the Cygnus Room with his com unit.
“Unlock Ares’ chains,” he commanded.
The researchers started looking at each other in confusion.
Ares’ release would severely threaten their headquarters.
What’s Bloodsworth trying to do?
“Are you disobeying me now?” Zeke reprimanded.
Hurriedly, the researchers shook their heads. “No, Bloodsworth. It’s not that we don’t want to let him out. It’s
because the chains have been forged with black iron, which makes them impossible to break.”
Zeke commanded once more, “Open them or die trying.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis terrifying aura struck fear into the researchers, and they quickly agreed. “Don’t worry, Bloodsworth. We’ve
recently invented a new corrosive agent that will definitely get through these chains. However, it will take a few
days.”
Zeke nodded. “Okay. Use that to aid you.”
The researchers hurried off to make preparations.
Zeke turned to Ares, saying, “Looks like you’ll have to stick around here for a little longer.”
Ares sighed. “You don’t have to save me, you know. You’re the only threat to me in all of Eurasia. If you leave me
here, you’d become the strongest man in Eurasia.”
Zeke turned to leave, but not before stating, “I can’t leave my wife’s father behind.”
Ares was Lacey’s biological father, after all. Strictly speaking, that made him Zeke’s father-in-law.
He couldn’t just leave him to die.
Besides, Ares was the main protector of Eurasia. Zeke couldn’t leave him to die for his own selfish reasons.
Ares was taken aback by his answer. What does my death have to do with your wife’s father?
Suddenly, he thought of a horrifying possibility. Is Zeke Williams dating one of my daughters?
In a rage, he yelled, “Zeke! If you lay even a hand on one of my daughters, I will kill you!”
Zeke, however, had long disappeared.
Ares didn’t know that Lacey, Zeke’s wife, was his very own biological daughter that he had lost all those years ago.
Though Ares wasn’t aware of that, the news had quickly spread like wildfire across Thistleton Manor.
All the Thistletons were talking about Lacey Hinton.
Julian was the most interested in this juicy piece of gossip.
He had always been known as the firstborn to Ares and Lilith. Because of that, he had always been the heir to the
role of the head of the family.
However, Lacey was in the picture now, and she was older than him.
She would be a definite threat to his heir position if she returned to their family. In fact, she might even try to take

“We have to keep this news under lock and key no matter what. Chase Lacey out of Atheville.”
“I heard that her husband is the student of the Great Marshal. Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
“Who cares? I’m Ares’ firstborn. Do you think I’d be beneath one of the Great Marshal’s little pups?”
He hurriedly made his way to Linton Group.
In the Linton Group building, Lacey was holding onto a pregnancy test with tears in her eyes.
The two red lines shown on the little plastic stick was enough to send her emotions into overdrive.
There was now a small, new life growing inside her belly.
She was about to become a mother.
If Zeke knew he was about to become a father, Lacey knew he would be overjoyed.
Just as she was thinking about their happy future with their child, the door to her office swung open violently.
Julian walked in cockily with his head held high.
Lacey grew infuriated. “Who are you? Who let you barge in here?”
