“Zeke, even Ares is here. Are you sure you can still manage? There’s no way we can escape now, so maybe... maybe you should give the Great Marshal a call and ask for his help.”

Zeke gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. Ares is here to help us.”

Ha!

“What a load of crap!” snorted Killian.

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be worth one second of his time. If he’s here to help you, then... then I’ll eat poop!”

Zeke chuckled. “Very well. Then you’ll eat poop, and Top Dog will lick my shoes.”

The arrogance!

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

Ares stepped into the office with his servants in tow.

Each of the servants had a gift in their hands, including a pearl-encrusted tiara, a robe woven with gold thread, a jade pendant, and plenty of other extravagant pieces of jewelry.

Any of the items alone would be enough to fund a whole army.


Killian anxiously ran up to Ares.

He hadn’t been able to clear the building in time, so he knew he was in trouble.

However, he had a plan. He was going to use Zeke as a scapegoat.

Ares would then focus all his anger on Zeke, and he himself would likely be able to get away with just a minor disciplining.

Killian knelt on the ground and bellowed, “Welcome, Ares!”

Top Dog and everyone else immediately followed suit and got on their knees to show their reverence too.

Ares’ eyes swept across the room. What he saw caused anger to boil inside him.

“What on earth is going on here?”

“Sir, he was causing trouble. We tried to stop him, but he assaulted our men. As it turns out, he’s too powerful for us. Please forgive us, Ares.”

Top Dog hurriedly chimed in. “That girl standing beside him, Lacey Hinton. She’s an accomplice too!”

Lacey stumbled backwards in fright.

What?

Ares nearly blew a fuse right then and there.

He had put so much effort into planning all this so he could welcome Lacey back to the Thisleton family with grandeur.

He even carved time out of his busy schedule just so he could personally bring her back.

Yet, his own men had attempted to hurt not only her, but the Great Marshal himself!

These imbeciles are going to ruin everything!

In a fit of rage, Ares kicked Killian in the stomach hard.

Killian flew backward like a bullet, whammed into the wall, and became firmly embedded in it.

A few of his ribs were broken from the impact and blood continuously spewed from his mouth.
