She sized Zeke up for quite a long while before asking, “Mister, are you Great Marshal Zee?”

Zeke nodded. “Yes, I am.”

The little girl suddenly got very excited and walked up to him. “Great Marshal Zee, I knew I wasn't just dreaming last night. I really did see you!”

The night before, Zeke was giving food to the kids in the village. That was when the little girl saw Zeke.

After mustering up her courage, the little girl asked, “Great Marshal Zee, can I hug you?”

Zeke smiled and picked her up. “Why not?”

The little girl was of a similar age as Missy, so Zeke was drawn to the little girl.

The little girl almost cried tears of joy when she uttered, “This is awesome! Great Marshal Zee is holding me in his arms! I need to show my mommy so that she'd stop saying that I was lying. Great Marshal Zee, will you follow me home and see my mommy? She doesn't believe you're here.”

Zeke mulled over it and replied, “But I'm too busy to go to your house now.”

“Oh,” the little girl answered in disappointment.

Seeing that, Zeke quickly said, “However, I promise you I'll go over to your house once I'm free, okay?”

“Really?” The little girl was over the moon. “Great Marshal Zee, are you serious? Will you come to my house once you're free?”

“Of course.” Zeke nodded.

The little girl was thrilled. “Okay! Pinky swear, no changes for a hundred years!”

“Okay. Go home now. Study hard, okay? Once you're done with your studies, you can serve the country. By then, you'll get to see me every day!”

The little girl nodded firmly. “Great Marshal Zee, I'll join the military when I grow up! I want to contribute to the country as well!”

“Good. By the way, what's your name?”

“I'm Nelly.”

Zeke smiled upon hearing that. Well, it seems like my fate with Durbaine is quite extraordinary. I've even found a girl with a similar age as Missy.

Zeke then patted her head and said, “Go on. Once I'm free, I'll go find you.”

“Sure!” The little girl left.

In the meantime, the Dulliouds were looking at each other in disbelief. We didn't hear wrongly, did we? This man before us is the legendary Great Marshal? What the f*ck! What's with our luck? We're just a bunch of small fry! Why did God send Great Marshal to deal with us? That's like killing an ant with a cannon!

Rick couldn't believe his ears, so he asked cautiously, “May I know your name, Sir?”

Sole Wolf smiled wryly at Rick. “Didn't you hear? Everything you heard is true!”

“H-He's Great Marshal?” Rick stammered.
