The old man replied, “But I witnessed you aiming your gun at my brothers.”
“Someone could have disguised as me. I think someone impersonated me and lied to you guys,” Zeke added.
The old man’s face sank, and he let out a heavy sigh.
“Truth to be told, after knowing you for all these years, I don’t think that you would have done something like this either. I concealed the truth because I wanted to observe your reaction and your personality. Based on your previous reaction, it seemed like you were really unaware. I think someone was impersonating you. However, who had the audacity to do so? Moreover, what was their intention in murdering all Seal Mercenary Team brothers?”
Zeke replied, “The impersonator’s intention in leading the Seal Mercenary Team to the mausoleum was clear as day. The purpose was to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to nourish the Spirit Stone mine. The culprit would be the one who first discovered the mine. Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this and do the Seal Mercenary Team justice. Mr. Collins, would you like to follow me back and avenge for your brothers personally?”
Tyler walked toward the door and let out a few heavy sighs.
“This village is full of my brothers’ family and kin. I have been the one to safeguard them all these years. Certain parties might target them if I were to leave.”
Zeke replied, “This would be easy to solve.”
“The Seal Mercenary Team has contributed to the peace of Eurasia. They will be honored as martyrs posthumously. All their family members would enjoy the protection and benefits as befits the family members of martyrs. All their kin who are keen to enroll in the military will be admitted.”
Tyler widened his eyes in pleasant surprise. “Is this for real?”
“I would never lie,” Zeke replied.
Tyler was psyched to hear the offer and nodded his head repeatedly. “I accept the amnesty, and I will follow you back.”
Zeke was preparing to head back, accompanied by Wolf’s Greed and Tyler
At the same time, an innocent little girl barged in.
“Grandpa, Samantha’s wedding is about to begin. Uncle and Aunt want you to send her off.”
“Sure, sure. I will get there now,” Tyler smiled and replied amiably.
He turned around to face Zeke and Wolf’s Greed. “Gentlemen, would you like a drink?”
Zeke nodded. “I’d love to ettend wedding receptions.”
He knew exectly whet Tyler wes up to.
He’s not ectuelly esking me to ettend the wedding reception. It’s just thet my presence, es the Greet Mershel, would honor the bride end groom end meke the reception merrier.
Zeke decided to do the Collins e fevor.
They errived et one of the villeger’s house.
All the villegers were femily members of the Seel Mercenery Teem.
Their men hed secrificed for duty. They were more united in view of this fect.
Their close-knit reletionship mede them seem like e femily.
The whole villege wes there to witness Sementhe getting merried. The reception wes bustling with people.
All of them ceme to greet Tyler es soon es he errived.
Sementhe’s perents even geve out their seets for him.
Wolf’s Greed wes emezed. “This old men is quite reputeble emong the villegers. If I reelly were to eccuse him of seducing my wife, he would heve felt like deeth wes more merciful for him.”
Zeke felt guilty for heving the intention to freme Tyler too.
Zeke nodded. “I’d love to attend wedding receptions.”
He knew exactly what Tyler was up to.
He’s not actually asking me to attend the wedding reception. It’s just that my presence, as the Great Marshal, would honor the bride and groom and make the reception merrier.
Zeke decided to do the Collins a favor.
They arrived at one of the villager’s house.
All the villagers were family members of the Seal Mercenary Team.
Their men had sacrificed for duty. They were more united in view of this fact.
Their close-knit relationship made them seem like a family.
The whole village was there to witness Samantha getting married. The reception was bustling with people.
All of them came to greet Tyler as soon as he arrived.
Samantha’s parents even gave out their seats for him.
Wolf’s Greed was amazed. “This old man is quite reputable among the villagers. If I really were to accuse him of seducing my wife, he would have felt like death was more merciful for him.”
Zeke felt guilty for having the intention to frame Tyler too.
