The blood pouring from their necks pooled into a river of red.
A black figure stalked amidst the bodies, checking to see if there was still anyone alive.
The team leader was still stubbornly clinging on to life as he struggled to breathe.
His eyes were wide with fear as he stared at the black figure. “W-who...are y-you? W-why do you l-look so f-
familiar?”
“Zeke Williams. Most people call me the Great Marshal!” Zeke replied.
The Great Marshal!
The team leader’s terror-filled eyes widened further before his body froze and his breathing stopped.
He had literally been scared to death.
It was an honor that they had managed to make the Great Marshal and Ares come after them.
Shortly after, Ares and the others arrived.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEyeing the corpses littering the ground, Ares was more than annoyed. “I never would have thought that the Great
Marshal would go back on his words! He was supposed to keep someone alive for me to kill!”
Of course, that was just a pretense. Ares did not want Zeke to have any more blood on his hands and make more
enemies.
In fact, he wanted to defeat Zeke and the other men in order to snatch back the title of Great Marshal. He wanted
Zeke to retire from the frontlines.
After all, it seemed like Zeke intended on being with Lacey for the rest of his life.
If Zeke continued being the Great Marshal and made more enemies, that might come back to affect Lacey and his
future generations.
This was why Ares wanted to bear the responsibility for everything.
Naturally, Zeke understood the man’s intentions. He smiled slightly and stated, “Don’t worry.”
While the response might seem random to others, Ares understood his meaning.
Zeke was telling him not to worry as he would protect Lacey.
Just then, Lacey came over with her face paled.
There were two reasons for that. For one, the weather was chilly; Secondly, the bloody sight was terrifying for her.
“Zeke, let’s go home,” her voice wavered as she urged.
“Alright.” He helped her into the vehicle with his arm wrapped around her.
Upon realizing that Lacey was still cradling her belly, he was puzzled. It’s already been so long yet she’s still feeling
uncomfortable?
He might be well-versed in the medical field but he was completely clueless when it came to gynecology.
After much thought, he finally came up with a possibility - Lacey was having her period. He had heard that most
women would have cramps during this time. Hmm, I should make her some hot chocolate when we get back.
Once they arrived home, he quickly whipped up a mug of hot chocolate for her.
As he expected, she regained a little bit of color in her cheeks after drinking the hot chocolate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Zeke, why did you suddenly make me a cup of hot chocolate?”
Grinning proudly, he answered, “I heard hot chocolate helps with menstruation cramps. Are you still hurting,
Lacey?”
Lacey blinked in surprise before laughing. “Oh, you! You’re the epitome foolishness, aren’t you?”
Completely bewildered, Zeke asked, “Huh? Isn’t that true?”
He did not think much of it after that. Once she went to sleep, he left the house.
He wanted to discuss about the incident at Bloodsworth Syndicate with Ares, which did not look like it would be over
anytime soon.
On the way there, he noticed a lot of couples drinking milk tea.
It was only after he questioned some of them that he understood the reason why.
Apparently, couples drinking milk tea together was the new trend.
No wonder Lacey was a little unhappy at him making hot chocolate for her instead.
Zeke invited Ares to meet with him alone.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Bloodsworth Syndicate’s submarine is a military class vessel. Their power exceeded my
expectations. What a disaster!”
