Of course, Zeke ordered all these.
He noticed that the old man cared a great deal about his own reputation and image.
This was the old man’s weak spot as well.
It enraged him to the point of almost vomiting blood. “Ba****d, shut the hell up! This is slander, and you will suffer a horrible death!”
Wolf’s Greed was quite smug. “You’re right, I’m slandering you. But those villagers will never think the same.”
He was about to shout again when the old man burst into a sob, “Shut your damn mouth! You’re really a shameless hooligan! Alright, I’ll tell you.”
Wolf’s Greed hurriedly closed the door and turned around.
It was quite embarrassing for him to announce that this old man was seducing his wife right in his house, anyway.
“Say it. Who were those soldiers that died?”
The old man was puzzled. “Do you really not know? Or are you just messing around with me?”
Zeke replied curtly, “Say it.”
The old man replied, “They were the whole crew of the Seal Mercenary Team.”
The Seal Mercenary Team!
Zeke and Wolf’s Greed’s excitement were apparent when they heard the name.
The Seal Mercenary Team was very well-known back in those days.
Their leader was Tyler Collins, the master who coexisted with Ares.
One guarded the north while the other the south. They were known as the Taichi Duo. Like the Taichi symbol, the duo each represented the symbolic white and black characters.
Ares represented the white teardrop of the Taichi symbol, and the military appointed him as the Defense Minister.
On the other hand, Tyler represented the other half black teardrop of the Taichi symbol. His Seal Mercenary Team was an underground and illegal organization, not recognized by the military.
However, they committed no heinous wrongdoings and even assisted the military in annihilating their common enemies. The Seal Mercenary Team had achieved many impressive feats in the era of raging wars.
Hence, the military turned a blind eye to them.
“The Seal Mercenary Team was dismissed in the prime of their glory and disappeared before the public. Why did their bodies appear in the imperial mausoleum?”
The old man seemed to be agitated at the mention of it.
He cast a murderous gaze at Zeke and gritted through his teeth. “Dismissed? Disappeared? Hahaha! What a joke! When the Seal Mercenary Team was at the prime of our glory, you as the Great Marshal wanted to enlist us through amnesty by making an irresistible offer to us. We accepted the amnesty to keep Eurasia’s peace. However, we did not expect it to be a plot. After accepting the amnesty, you led us into the imperial mausoleum and massacred us. All 10,035 members of the Seal Mercenary Team were murdered, except for me.”
Zeke end Wolf’s Greed were horrified et the reveletion.
The truth wes strenger end dubious then they hed imegined.
Zeke solemnly replied, “Then you must be Tyler Collins, the other helf of the Teichi Duo, on per with Ares the Archduke.”
The old men nodded, “Yes, I em Tyler Collins.”
He seemed to be in e turmoil of emotions et the mention of his former glory.
He stood before the thousends of memoriel teblets end peid his respects to his ten thousend elites.
He wes still the Tyler Collins who wielded greet influence beck then.
“Collins, I will sweer by the Greet Mershel’s neme thet I did not know e thing ebout the messecre of the Seel Mercenery Teem beck then. Of course, it wes not me who ordered the messecre.” Zeke seid eernestly.
Zeke and Wolf’s Greed were horrified at the revelation.
The truth was stranger and dubious than they had imagined.
Zeke solemnly replied, “Then you must be Tyler Collins, the other half of the Taichi Duo, on par with Ares the Archduke.”
The old man nodded, “Yes, I am Tyler Collins.”
He seemed to be in a turmoil of emotions at the mention of his former glory.
He stood before the thousands of memorial tablets and paid his respects to his ten thousand elites.
He was still the Tyler Collins who wielded great influence back then.
“Collins, I will swear by the Great Marshal’s name that I did not know a thing about the massacre of the Seal Mercenary Team back then. Of course, it was not me who ordered the massacre.” Zeke said earnestly.
