Zeke smiled. “I’ve heard that you people are arrogant and I didn’t believe it. But, I guess I was wrong about that. Also, did you just imply that you are a grade above me?”
“Wait...” Commander Wagner seemed to have realize something. “Why do you look so familiar? A-Are you Zeke Williams? From Linton Group?”
“That’s me,” Zeke nodded.
After knowing who he was dealing with, Wagner got even more fearless. “You are but an abandoned child! How dare you go against us? Do you know who we are?”
“You two are the commanders of Lunaria which is a neighbor to Eurasia. Half of the Lunaria’s military is under your control,” Zeke smiled.
The two commanders looked at each other in disbelief. Both of them came to the same conclusion that the details of their operation was leaked so Zeke managed to take advantage of it.
“And you still dare to capture us?” Wagner scolded, “You sure have the balls. Let us go and we might let you live!”
“Are you serious? What makes you think that I would let you go after going to great lengths to capture you?” Zeke laughed.
“Drop the act. Everyone knows that Eurasians are mere cowards! You people do not walk the walk!”
Zeke was speechless and turned to signal Sole Wolf.
Without any hesitation, Solf Wolf took his knife out and held it against Wagner’s throat.
The next second, Wagner’s head dropped to the floor with blood gushing out from his severed neck.
What the! Hilton’s eyes widened at his now headless companion.
He couldn’t believe what he’d just witnessed. Zeke actually took Wagner out!
“H-how dare you!” Hilton roared. “This will only bring our countries to war! Eurasia will turn into a bloodshed because of your action!”
“I admit that I do have to take responsibility for my actions,” Zeke sighed. “Looks like my kindness to Lunaria has made you people believe that our military strength is weak. Well, I can assure you that if a war breaks out, you won’t even have the chance to step foot in our country. Heck, I can make your country surrender with just 10 people.”
“Drop the act. Everyone knows that Eurasians are mere cowards! You people do not walk the walk!”
“What a joke! Do you think you’re the Great Marshal? Only he has the ability to do that!” Hilton mocked. “He’s the only one who can create such miracles! Heed my warning that if I die, the Great Marshal will personally end your life. For I am a friend of the Great Marshal!”
“What a joke! Do you think you’re the Great Marshal? Only he has the ability to do that!” Hilton mocked. “He’s the only one who can create such miracles! Heed my warning that if I die, the Great Marshal will personally end your life. For I am a friend of the Great Marshal!”
Everyone looked at Zeke cluelessly as Sole Wolf asked, “Zekky, are you friends with this guy?”
“Are you stupid?” Zeke scoffed. “Won’t he recognize me if we were acquainted?”
“True...”
Both Hilton and Rosie were stunned by the exchange as it sounded like Zeke was the Great Marshal himself.
They would rather believe in spirits and the afterworld rather than such bullshit.
“Well, whatever,” Zeke sighed and turned to Hilton. “I’ll give you a chance to live. Order your men to gather all the heavy artilleries to this village or I’ll make you and your troop disappear from the face of the earth.”
