Ares whipped his communicator out and called the Great Marshal, but it wouldn't get through. After all, the real Great Marshal was in a valley, and only he had the communicator. It was impossible for him to contact Zeke as there wasn't any signal there.

Ares frowned. He had called Zeke's personal communicator just now, and the only ones who knew that number were in Eurasia's top echelon.

The only reason someone would call his personal number was that they had important matters to discuss. That was why Zeke would always keep that personal communicator on him twenty-four-seven. So why can't I get through to him? Did something happen to him?

Joseph said, “To tell you the truth, the Great Marshal is at the Ministry of Celestial Affairs right now, so he can't take any calls. But I can call him for you.”

“You?” Ares looked at him suspiciously, but Joseph called the ministry right in front of him.

After going through a few people, the Great Marshal showed up on the screen. But of course, that person was none other than Warren.

Ares quickly said, “Greetings, Great Marshal. I am Ares.”

Warren looked upset. “And why did you call me?”

Ares said, “I just want to know if you have really appointed Joseph as Summerbank's protector and made me his deputy.”

Warren nodded. “Yes. That's the decision I came up with after much consideration.”

Ares couldn't believe what he was hearing. “You have to think this through, Great Marshal. There's proof that Joseph is conspiring with the Netherworld. If he takes over Summerbank, then—”

“Silence!” Warren roared. “Are you questioning my decision? I have and always will be against the Netherworld. Or do you think I've betrayed the nation?”

Ares had never seen him so angry, so he said, “No, Sir.”

“Then do as I say. And take some herbs and spiritual drugs for me, Joseph. I have my uses for them. Also, tell my wife to come to the ministry. I have important matters to discuss with her.”

“Yes, Sir!” Joseph looked at Warren happily.

Once the call was cut, Joseph gave Ares a smug look. “So, are you still going to go against the decree?”
