As Zeke knew that Lilith was out to get Lacey, he was of course well prepared.
Lacey had been sent to stay with Daniel and Hannah.
After cleaning the room and ensuring the poison gas had dissipated, Zeke left.
He headed for the Cygnus Room’s temporary base to join Sole Wolf.
The Cygnus Room was a collection of the greatest talents within Eurasia.
The results of their research represented the top-end of Eurasia’s technological prowess.
One of the departments within the Cygnus Room was Molar Department. It was responsible for researching the latest interrogation and torture technologies.
Torture wasn’t just limited to the physical body, even mental suffering was included.
By the time Zeke arrived, the interrogation was completed.
The members of the Iron Cavalry were all in terrible condition.
For some of them who were still wailing, their mental condition was undoubtedly impacted badly.
After catching up with Zeke, Sole Wolf handed him all the data.
“Zeke, the results are out, the situation is worse than we expected.”
Hmm?
Zeke looked through the data inquisitively.
After going through it, Zeke boiled with rage.
The first reason was that they were under Lilith’s orders to kill Lacey.
But more importantly, the reason they infiltrated Atheville was to deal with the Great Marshal.
Half a year ago, Ares had set a trap in Atheville.
On National Day, which was the first of October, they were to kill the Great Marshal when he participated in the celebrations.
The Iron Cavalry was only an insignificant part of the trap.
“Damn it.” Zeke clenched both his fists tightly. “Ares couldn’t beat me in a fair fight and now he wants to use subterfuge?”
“Luckily, I discovered their plot early. Or else, it would affect the National Day celebrations and I might even be killed!”
With a fearsome look, Sole Wolf suggested, “Zeke, do you want me to take some men and capture Ares?”
Zeke shook his head. “No, their statements alone aren’t enough evidence to convict Ares.”
“Besides, Ares’ influence in the army runs deep. If we take him by force, I’m afraid it might cause an uproar.”
Sole Wolf rubbed his forehead. “Zeke, what are we going to do? We can’t just let Ares off the hook that easily.”
Zeke sneered, “As if.”
“This time, I’ll beat him at his own game by forcing him to expose himself. By then, he won’t be able to deny it.”
After regaining his composure, he approached the Iron Cavalry.
Weak but not broken, Monkey King glared at Zeke and barked, “You... who in the world are you?”
“How is it that you can mobilize the Cygnus Room to interrogate us?”
Zeke replied, “It’s simple actually. I was the one who built it.”
What!
All the members of the Iron Cavalry widened their eyes in shock as they looked at Zeke in disbelief.
Everyone knew that the Cygnus Room was built by Alpha.
Alpha was also known by another name, the Great Marshal!
By saying that, was Zeke hinting to them that he was the Great Marshal?
This... this is impossible!
Seeing that they remained doubtful, Zeke waved the Great Marshal’s Seal in front of them.
When the saw the Seal, the Iron Cavalry were devastated.
Zeke was beyond any doubt the Great Marshal.
The Great Marshal’s Seal was exclusively used by the Great Marshal himself.
Damn it! Damn it, indeed!
There was no way they would have expected Lacey’s husband to be the Great Marshal himself.
Besides, they were planning to assassinate him during the National Day celebrations.
It was a crime that was punishable by death, and their whole family would go down with them!
Zeke questioned, “Let me ask you, do you want to live or die?”
Monkey King gulped as he suppressed his fear. “I only wish that you give us a quick death.”
