Zeke nodded and warned, “Don’t reveal my identity.”

Ryker hastily took out his phone and dialed his father, Conrad Lewis’ number.

Conrad swiftly picked up the call. “Ryker, how’s everything going? Is Williams dead yet?”

Ryker raised his voice and sounded hysterical, “Dad, stop going against Zeke Williams. We’re not on the same level as him at all, and we can’t win. Surrender everything to him, then run for your lives.”

Conrad was momentarily stunned. “Ryker, what are you going on about? Did Williams threaten you to say this?”

“Dad, I have to leave this world before you. I’m sorry for not being able to be there for you until you grow old,” Ryker choked through the lump in his throat.

“Let’s meet again in the next life. And remember, drop everything against Zeke Williams, otherwise, it’ll be the end for the Lewis family.”

Then, he took out his gun and shot himself in the head!

The gunshot echoed in the cave for a long time.

After the sound finally died down, Conrad’s cries drifted over the other end of the line.

“Zeke Williams, you’d killed my son. I’ll make you pay with your life!”

“No, I’ll make your whole family pay with their lives...”

Zeke stomped on the phone with his foot. “Let’s go to Linton Group.”

He sighed and mused, “I hope the old lady didn’t do anything too serious.”
Zeke nodded and warned, “Don’t reveal my identity.”

Ryker hastily took out his phone and dialed his father, Conrad Lewis’ number.

When Zeke walked to the entrance of the cave, he realized that Nancy was not following.

He looked over his shoulder at her. “Nancy, what are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Nancy had not snapped out of her shock yet.

Zeke Williams, whom she had always mocked and called a kept-man, was the Great Marshal!

Believing that ghosts existed was much easier than believing this!

The Great Marshal who is revered by thousands, is my brother-in-law...

That was not the point either.

The point was, that in the past, she had picked on the Great Marshal every single time they crossed paths.

Now this is a story that I can boast about for the rest of my life!

She followed Zeke out of the cave in a daze, feeling as though everything was nothing but a dream.

At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers bowed respectfully to Zeke.

Zeke remained unruffled as he enjoyed the respect shown by the soldiers.

As Nancy observed Zeke’s figure from behind, a shiver ran down her spine.

Why does his back look so familiar?

Isn’t this... my hero?

Nancy swallowed hard before stammering out a question, “Zeke, are... Are you my hero?”

Zeke answered, “Will you believe me if I say no?”

Nancy shook her head.
