Zeke nodded and replied, “Of course.”

Bertram looked at Zeke sternly and said, “Great Marshal, you're suspected of murdering Rhett and Lucy. Please cooperate with our investigation. Rest assured that I will ensure justice will be served if you're innocent.”

Zeke and everyone else didn't know how to respond to that.

After a while, Sole Wolf shouted, “D*mn it! I feel like throttling you to death right now.”

Nonetheless, Zeke said, “No worries. I will prove that I'm innocent.”

Then, Zeke came up to Clement, who lay on the ground like a dead man.

Clement couldn't even muster his courage to face Zeke.

Zeke laughed in ridicule and announced, “Clement Bedzra has committed hideous crimes. Sole Wolf, execute him right now.”

Sole Wolf immediately replied, “Yes, Great Marshal!”


Clement couldn't believe his ears and begged Zeke, “Great Marshal, please don't do it. Please let me go. I was wrong. Please give me a chance to live.”

Zeke asked, “Well, tell me why you were wrong.”

With his face covered in tears and snot, Clement said, “I shouldn't have framed you. It was all Sheldon's fault. He threatened me with my family, saying that he would harm them if I didn't cooperate with him to frame you.”

Clement paused for a while and added, “Sheldon has a lot of lackeys who are brainless and lunatic enough to do whatever they want. They might even try to harm Great Marshal once Sheldon gives them the instructions, not to mention a low-ranking officer like me. Hence, I had no choice but to submit to him to ensure my family's safety. I then conspired with Sheldon to frame you. In other words, you're innocent. Instead, Sheldon is the one who murdered Rhett and Lucy.”

After Clement finished, Zeke shot Sole Wolf a meaningful glance.

Immediately, Sole Wolf loaded his gun, strode toward Clement, and aim it at his head. “You're still reluctant to tell us the truth. In that case, I might as well send you to hell!”

“Ah!”

Clement felt terrified and shrieked, “Sir, please let me live. I swear that everything that I've said is true.”

Zeke snickered and said, “Are you fooling us? Why would the provincial police department's chief be afraid of an entrepreneur?

Sole Wolf added, “Zeke, don't waste your time talking to this prick. Since he is guilty, we can execute him on the spot.”

As Zeke's patience had waned off, he said, “Kill him.”

Feeling terrified, Clement wailed and begged Zeke, “Please don't do it! I'll tell you.”

Clement knew that if the soldiers were instructed to kill him, they would act without hesitation.

In other words, Zeke wasn't threatening him but would do it once he had made up his mind.
