The remaining warriors were shaken to the core. Under Julian’s death threat, none of them had the guts to testify against him.
They knew they would be dead before they could utter a word.
Zeke’s heart was filled with resentment.
He felt exasperated that he could not use his King Class strength to rip Julian into pieces with his own hands.
Julian stretched his body and said, “Alright. Let’s get down to business. The military wants to expropriate the land belonging to Linton Group. You have two options regarding the Linton Group’s tower. The first option is to demolish the office tower right away, and you won’t get a single cent out of it. Or you can choose to sell the building to us for twenty million.”
This is absurd!
Zeke was resolute.
The Linton Group was the testimony of the love between him and Lacey.
Anyone who tried to mess with the Linton Group was treading on his toes.
Julian added, “This is a military order, and it’s not up to you to decide.”
He strutted out of the auditorium with an army behind him.
Meanwhile, a convoy of excavators and tractors had gathered around the Linton Group tower.
Julian waved his hand and said, “The military officially shall now expropriate the Linton Group’s land. Accordingly, the office tower built on this land shall be demolished. Anyone who tries to stop this is considered to have violated the military order and can be executed at once.”
“Demolish the place now.”
Boom!
The deafening sounds of the excavators and tractors filled the air as they prepared for the demolition.
Dawn and Nancy felt anxious and broke down. “What should we do now?”
“We can’t save the tower this time.”
“All our hard work has gone to waste.”
Lacey comforted them. “Don’t cry, girls. The tower is nothing as long as Zeke is safe.”
Zeke then assured them, “Dawnie, Nancy, don’t worry. No one can pull down the tower in my presence today.
Lacey swiftly grabbed Zeke’s arm and warned, “Zeke, don’t do anything reckless. Julian is out of his mind, and he’ll really kill you on the spot.”
Zeke patted her shoulder. “Relax. I have yet to play my trump card.”
Zeke walked to higher ground and shouted in rage, “Stop right there! Here is the Dragon King Sword, which represents the Supreme Leader himself. Bow and kneel down before it, or else I will show no mercy.
The moment the Dragon King Sword showed up, the sky turned gloomy with dark clouds, as if a storm were coming.
The crowd went pale and gaped in shock, then they knelt down simultaneously, including Julian.
The Supreme Leader had personally bestowed the Dragon King Sword upon Zeke.
He could use it to take anyone’s life aside from that of the Supreme Leader and would not be convicted of murder.
The Dragon King Sword was a symbol of the highest authority and the Supreme Leader himself, and one must kneel whenever they saw the sword.
Dawn and Nancy shed tears of joy.
How could I have forgotten Zeke’s Dragon King Sword?
With the Dragon King Sword, we don’t have to be afraid of Julian, or even his dad, Ares.
However, Julian did not display any hint of fear; his eyes were riveted on the Dragon King Sword fervently.
He had coveted the Dragon King Sword for a long time, as it was the trademark of the Great Marshal.
Without the Dragon King Sword, his title as the Great Marshal was only superficial.
He even told his dad his worry that Zeke would use the Dragon King Sword against him.
Ares then said that he could take the Dragon King Sword from Zeke and give it to Julian.
Now that the Dragon King Sword had appeared, it’s time for Ares to make his move.
Julian instantly called Ares to tell him of the current situation.
“I’ll be there soon,” Ares said, “No worries, everything is under my control.”
Julian was relieved at his reply.
