Zeke replied, “Not only will I hit you today, but I will also make sure you are brought to justice. It is a crime to abuse children.”

F***!

She jumped up, “The country’s laws are set by us Thisletons! Are you trying to use the law to control the Thisletons? What a joke! Just wait and see, the Thisletons won’t let you off so easily!”

Sigh.

Zeke suddenly sighed heavily. “Ares, the patriarch of the Thisletons, has been defending the borders with his life, hence earning the family’s good name. However, this reputation is now tarnished by the likes of you. How sad is that?”

Zeke slapped her once again.

This strong slap was enough for the servant to collapse on the ground, bleeding from the mouth.

Ahhhhhhh!

She was about to go crazy.

I’ve already made use of the authority of the Thisletons, but he still had the cheek to slap me!

This simply cannot be tolerated!

She screamed out loud. “Help me! Come! There is someone here beating up a Thisleton!”

Zeke laughed. “Come out then.”

Suddenly, three dark figures jumped out from the hidden corners and knelt before Zeke.

“Please instruct us, Great Marshal.”

Zeke was still nursing his wounds after leaving the battlefield.

For his safety, the colonel had arranged for people to silently protect and look out for Zeke.

Zeke said, “She has abused a child and insulted the Great Marshal. Investigate this thoroughly!”

Yes, Sir!

The three guards took down the servant immediately.

Wh-what?

She was completely taken aback.

Great Marshal?

This common-looking simpleton is the Great Marshal, the pillar of the nation?

Did I, a mere servant, just get into an argument with the Great Marshal?

Oh my, I....I am just seeking my own death here.

Zeke told the three guards, “Take her away, and you don’t have to follow me around anymore. I will be fine.”

But...

The three guards looked hesitant.

They did not dare to go against the colonel’s orders.

Zeke said, “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to the colonel myself.”

Hence, the three guards left with his assurance.

Zeke squatted down to look at the little girl in the eye.

“Little one, your name is Missy, right? Where is your mother? Why didn’t she take care of you?”

Missy said, “Mummy has to go for a business meeting and has no time to care for me, so she asked me to follow Auntie.”

Zeke said, “Oh, your mother is a businesswoman? Then she should be a Thisleton. What is your mother’s name?”

In a low, muffled voice, she replied, “My mother is Lacey Hinton.”

Lacey Hinton!

The mention of this name sent a shock of thunder blazing through Zeke’s mind.
