Zeke smirked. “Choose your words wisely.”

“Your death wouldn’t be the end of it.”

“I will make sure everyone knows that you tried to assassinate the Great Marshal and are a traitor to the country.”

“It’s just a pity that the glorious reputation of the Iron Cavalry, painstakingly built up by your predecessors, will be destroyed by you.”

Hearing that, the members of the Iron Cavalry were shaken to their core.

To soldiers, honor was more important than their lives.

Being labelled as traitors was worse than being executed.

On top of that, they would have betrayed all the efforts of their predecessors within the Iron Cavalry.

Having mixed feelings, the members of the Iron Cavalry exchanged glances with each other, communicating with their gazes.

After a brief moment, Monkey King begrudgingly asked, “What do you want us to do?”

Zeke replied, “It’s simple. Continue with your original plan.”

Zeke then explained his plan in detail to the Iron Cavalry.

When they were done, Monkey King sighed. “To be honest, you’re an important pillar of the nation and the protector of Eurasia. We were reluctant to harm you.”

“Besides, Ares is being suspected of conspiring with the enemy, so we do not want to serve under him anymore.”

“We want to serve you.”

Zeke answered, “Very well. I don’t think you need me to tell you what to do next.”

“Sole Wolf, free them from their restraints.”

With that Sole Wolf untied them.

After regaining his composure, Monkey King called Lilith.

Right after picking up, Lilith asked impatiently, “So, how did it go?’

Monkey King replied, “We succeeded half-way.”

What does it mean?

Lilith was stunned.

Monkey King explained, “Lacey was at the Linton Group’s office and not at home, so we didn’t kill her.”

“However, we killed her husband, Zeke, by mistake.”

“With the groom dead, Lacey can’t marry and won’t bear a child.”

Lilith replied calmly, “Mm, with Zeke dead, it is considered a success.”

“However, Lacey must still die.”

“If she exposed what happened twenty years ago to Ares, both of us will be doomed.”

Monkey King replied, “Mrs. Thistleton, I have a plan to finish her off.”

“Even Ares himself can’t save her.”

Lilith interest was piqued as she inquired, “Tell me about it?”

Monkey King continued, “Do you know the reason we were hiding in Atheville for half a year?”

Lilith shook her head, “No, I don’t.”

Monkey King, “Actually, we were supposed to assassinate the Great Marshal during the National Day celebrations.”

“If we can frame Lacey for the assassination, even the commander-in-chief himself can’t save her, let alone Ares.”
