The culprit had a black outfit on and was wearing a mask, so no one realized that he was Zeke.

“W-Who are you? C-Come apprehend him!” shrieked the ladies, who had turned pale.

The two police officers refused to admit defeat, so they went after Zeke.

Zeke, however, waved his hand dismissively. “Wait.”

As he spoke, he flushed a faint energy out of his body.

That energy wasn't aggressive in nature. It was simply released to let the police officers know what was going on.

The two police officers recognized Zeke's energy. The look on their faces changed drastically, and they became ever so excited.

Wait, it that... the Great Marshal's aura and energy? Is he back?

The police officers stiffened on the spot and stared as excitement burned in their eyes.

Zeke slowly took his mask off.

Now that the intruder was confirmed to be the Great Marshal, both police officers no longer hesitated to kneel before him.

“It's an honor to meet you, Great Marshal.”

“It's an honor to meet you, Great Marshal.”

Zeke nodded a little and replied, “Ah, the two of you used to serve under Northern Wolf's command, right?”

Both police officers nodded immediately. “Yes, we used to serve General North and was part of the Northern Wolf's army.”

Zeke replied, “I see. Well, now that I am back, you can go back.”

Huh?

Both police officers were surprised to hear that. A moment later, they spoke apologetically. “Great Marshal, we failed to keep the ladies safe, and that is our mistake. Please punish us for it.”

“We are willing to accept any punishment. All we ask is that you don't fire us.”

The two officers assumed that they were being fired because they didn't notice anything being off until Zeke was already next to the ladies. The Great Marshal must blame us for being too slow. If he had been a criminal, they would already be in danger by the time we show up. That must be why he's firing us.

The truth, however, was that the thought never crossed Zeke's mind.

He was an Ultimate Class warrior, and his true strength was beyond that of someone in the Celestial Class. The two police officers weren't even Archduke warriors, so they already did exceptionally well to have detected him at all.

Zeke calmly replied, “Don't worry. I am not putting the blame on you. In fact, you've done really well. Thing is, I'm back, so I can keep them safe. There is no need for you two to stay here anymore, and your presence might disrupt my plan. That is why I am sending the two of you away to work on your regular duties.”

Hearing that calmed the police officers down. They were finally able to sigh a breath of relief. “Understood, Great Marshal. We will do as you say.”

Zeke then instructed, “Oh, one other thing. You must not let anyone know that I am back. Keep this secret from everyone, including your boss.”

The two officers nodded quickly. “Understood.”

They left after that.
