Bound to the Lord Protector

Chapter 136 The God Of War Is Also A Human

In Lacey's home, the family of three surrounded Zeke, as if interrogating a criminal. “Is there something you would like to ask me?” Zeke started, feeling uncomfortable under their stares. “Feel free to ask me anything. I'll tell you the truth.” “Did you call that troop or not?” Lacey asked. Zeke nodded. The Hinton family became even more nervous. “Who exactly are you?” Lacey asked again. “I'm the famous and renowned Great Marshal,” Zeke said. He could only confess; he couldn't hide it anymore. Lacey looked irritated. “You little... I want the truth.” “That is the truth,” Zeke enunciated his words, looking bewildered. “You mean to say the Great Marshal had been imprisoned for five years?” Lacey couldn't keep a straight face. “And he had stayed beside an ordinary girl for five years and never fought back, no matter the humiliation?” “And he couldn't afford a dowry of three hundred thousand and could only ask the bridesmaid for help during the wedding?” “Yeah, what's wrong with that?” Zeke asked, puzzled. “The God of War is also a human. He also has his own circumstances.” Lacey was at her wit's end. “I'm so done with you. How are you still so composed and self-conceited?” “From what I saw, Lone Wolf came to arrest Logan Hugh because of the auction of the Hamilton Group. It's just your pure dumb luck.” Zeke found the situation ironic. I've already confessed. You can't blame me if you still don't believe me. It just so happened that he refused to reveal his identity as God of War just yet, lest Lacey creates a distance or even breaks up with him. Thus, he took advantage of the opportunity to get out of the predicament, smiling affably. “I didn't think you'd hit the nail on the head.” “What happened today was indeed my luck.” Hannah and Daniel's strained nerves relaxed. If Zeke really admitted that he was some big shot, the old couple would have surely considered getting Lacey to break up with him. After all, Lacey was just an ordinary girl. She was unworthy of a big shot who could summon fifty thousand soldiers with just a wave of his hand. Even if she married him, she would probably have to live like a coward for the rest of her life. “You could have just told us the truth from the beginning. I won't look down on you just because you're an ordinary civilian,” Lacey said. “Okay, enough with the nonsense. I'm going to go to work. Are you coming, Zeke?” “Nah, I have to visit an old friend later,” Zeke replied. “An old friend again? Why do you have so many old friends?” Lacey muttered as she walked away. Daniel and Hannah also made their way to the clinic. Now, Zeke was left alone at home. He took out his phone and dialled Lone Wolf's number. “Great Marshal, what are you going to do with Hugh?” Lone Wolf asked. “Get him to compensate the damages caused by the Hamilton Group and release him,” Zeke said. Lone Wolf was a little disgruntled. “Great Marshal, you're just going to let him off?” “What do you know? It's called playing the long game,” Zeke stated. “I highly suspect there are people behind Hugh, and there are even more vestiges below him.” “He definitely won't give up if we release him, and until he uses his backup and the remnants of his men, I'll take them all out at once.” “We must destroy all evil and leave no chance for its revival.”“Roger that!” Lone Wolf replied. After hanging up the phone, Zeke went downstairs. Darren was still standing there, shivering. His coming and going, life and death, were all Zeke's call. Upon seeing Zeke, he went up in a blue funk. “Mr. Williams, I...” Zeke shot him a sideways glance, asking coldly, “Have you been riding with the gangs before this?” Darren nodded. “I have quite the power in the underworld.” “Alright. Gather your old friends and wait for your assignment,” Zeke ordered. Darren could barely conceal his delight. Instead of killing me, Mr. Williams might actually put me in an important position! He instantly agreed and hurried off. Zeke took a deep breath. “Such lackeys can achieve great things sometimes.”
