The cashier's words sparked a bombardment of sneers and caustic remarks from the crowd.
“Haha, so that's their true intention! I thought they were real socialites.”
“Fake socialites are all over the news recently. They would even share the bill for a pair of stockings just to fuel their vanity.”
“You shouldn't come here if you can't afford it. You're just embarrassing yourselves.”
“What a waste of beautiful skin.”
Lacey's face was flushed with anger after hearing what everyone said.
Regardless, she didn't have the time to explain herself. Her priority was to send Nancy and Dawn to the hospital as soon as possible.
She fumbled for her phone to call an ambulance.
The cashier became impatient and shouted, “Security, chase them out immediately! I think they're trying to frame us for this.”
Soon, several burly security guards walked up while smirking.
“Are you going to get out on your own, or do you want us to do it?”
Missy was frightened by the security guards and started to cry her heart out.
Lacey instinctively threw herself forward to protect the three of them. “Hey! What are you doing! They really have fainted. Don't you lay a finger on them, or you'll regret it!”
“Get lost!” the security guard shouted and was ready to use force.
At this critical moment, a few shadows dashed forward and sent the security guards flying. Their pained shrieks echoed through the mall.
The cashier was frightened and snarled, “Who are you people! How dare you cause a scene here. You don't know what you're dealing with!”
Smack!
A figure rushed up and slapped the cashier without hesitation.
After that, dozens of shadows rushed to Lacey and knelt in front of her.
“Greetings, wife of the Great Marshal. We're the spies of the North, at your service!”
W-What!
The crowd was stupefied at their words.
The wife of the Great Marshal? Did we hear it right?
Is this lady actually the Great Marshal's wife?
The Great Marshal's wife actually came to shop at such a place?
That's impossible.
The Great Marshal's wife should be high and mighty and full of benevolence. She wouldn't go shopping in person.
The cashier was the first to voice her doubt. “Nonsense! They can't even afford these common luxuries, so how could she be the wife of the Great Marshal? You must be pretending, deceiving the public! How dare you pose as the wife of the Great Marshal! You deserve to die!”
The crowd also started to have doubts.
Exactly. The Great Marshal is not only influential and powerful, but he also has all the riches the world has to offer. How could his wife be unable to afford these luxury items?
They must be fake.
One of the shadows was enraged and took out a wooden plate and showed it to the cashier. “You dared to insult the Great Marshal's wife. Your life is now forfeit!”
When everyone saw the wooden plate, they felt a shiver run down their spines. Their hearts began thumping uncontrollably as they instinctively knelt toward Lacey.
It's the dragon badge. Only the Great Marshal's subordinates are qualified to own a dragon badge!
S-She's truly the Great Marshal's wife!
The Great Marshal was regarded as a god in their hearts.
Naturally, the wife of the Great Marshal would also be regarded as a god.
It was only natural for them to kneel in the presence of a god.
“Greetings, wife of the Great Marshal.” Everyone got down on their knees and chanted in unison.
Their voices echoed through the air, and it almost brought down the ceiling.
The cashier's face turned pale in an instant.
She's really the wife of the Great Marshal. I actually insulted the wife of the Great Marshal. Today might be the end of me.
Unsheathing a long sword, the spy uttered, “In the name of the Great Marshal, I will now deliver your punishment!”
Then, he pointed the long sword at the cashier's throat.
The cashier didn't dare to move an inch.
“Stop!” Lacey stopped the spy at a critical moment.
The benign Lacey would never take another's life because of some minor fault.
“Please send them to the hospital first. Nothing else matters,” Lacey instructed the spy.
The spy glared at the cashier and said, “Aren't you going to thank the wife of the Great Marshal for being merciful?”
