D*amn it, d*amn it! I must've poked a hornet's nest, and now, the big man in the sky is punishing me for messing with Zeke! Even General Sterling is dead! How can he still be alive?

He gulped nervously and stammered, “W-who are you? W-Why is General Sterling-”

Sole Wolf retorted, “You idiot! Jamal just told you! I, Sole Wolf, am General North. The only person who can bring me, the great General North, to my knees is my brother.”

General North's brother? That's the Great Marshal, right? D*amn it! Great Marshal, Great Marshal... Zeke is the Great Marshal!”

The sudden understanding frightened the mob of men almost to death.

Provoking the Great Marshal was akin to seeking death.

Sixtus immediately fainted from the shock of the realization.

Before he slipped unconscious, there was only one final thought in his mind.

The Great Marshal is a busy man. Shouldn't he be occupied with national affairs? Why did he come to this forsaken place just to fight with such an insignificant person like me?

Zeke glanced at Sole Wolf and said, “Keep Sixtus apart from the rest. Make sure to interrogate him thoroughly. Question the others as well. If any one of them is found guilty, punish him severely.”

“Yes, Sir”

Sole Wolf led his men to the task immediately.

At that moment, a revelation dawned on the minds of Sixtus' men.

They now understood why Adrian, another King Class warrior and the boss of the Royal Casino, had suddenly fallen from grace and that all his men had been completely defeated.

He must've provoked the Great Marshal, just like Sixtus!

Zeke walked toward Emma and Amelia.

He felt rather apprehensive.

He was not sure if Emma would be able to accept the fact that he was the Great Marshal.

When he reached their side, he realized that Emma was unconscious.

He had no idea at what point she passed out.

Amelia cast her big round eyes at Zeke and scanned him from top to bottom.

Zeke wrapped his arms around Amelia and asked, “Amelia, tell me what's on your mind.”

Amelia replied, “Zee, are you the Great Marshal who has been appearing on the news?”

Zeke nodded in affirmation.

“Really? You're so cool, Zee! I've always wanted to become like you! I want to defeat enemies and serve the country!” Amelia's face lit up with excitement when she said that.

“Zee, may I follow you and become a warrior as well?”

Zeke nodded. “Of course you may.”

Suddenly, Amelia was overcome with emotion. “It's just so sad that my legs don't work now, so I can't become a warrior anymore!”

Zeke tapped Amelia's perky little nose affectionately and asked, “Amelia, do you trust me?”

Amelia nodded her little head and said through her tears, “Of course I trust you.”

“I promise you that I'll be able to heal your legs. Trust me, okay?” Zeke said reassuringly.
