Lucy mulled over his words. “Mr. Jacques, what do you think of this?”
However, Lucy did not receive an answer to her question.
When she turned to look at Jacques, she belatedly realized that Jacques was staring at Zeke in a daze.
He looks so familiar, but I can't be sure if that's him or not.
The man in Jacques' heart was a powerful man above all. He could not believe that that man would be in a place like this, in conflict with trivial characters like Lucy.
Of course, the one Jacques was thinking about was the Great Marshal.
He had only come across the Great Marshal a few times in his life as he did not have many opportunities to meet the man.
Every time he saw the Great Marshal, the Great Marshal was in full military gear, looking intimidating.
However, the man in front of him was in casual clothes. He looked like the most ordinary person.
Is he really the Great Marshal? If he's not, then why do the two of them look so similar?
Unable to come to a conclusion by himself, he finally decided to ask the man himself.
Hence, he walked over to Zeke.
Gabriel quickly stopped him. “Mr. Jacques, please stop. This man is dangerous, and I suspect that he's part of a terrorist organization. It's best for you to keep a distance from him.
“If there's anything you want to ask him, it's better if you wait until the armed police are here. Once he's arrested, we can then interrogate him.”
However, Jacques did not heed his words as he continued his way over to Zeke. Soon, he came to a stop three meters away from Zeke.
No one could be within a meter of the Great Marshal.
That was why Jacques had respectfully stopped three meters away.
He then carefully asked, “Mister, may I know what your family name is?”
“Williams,” Zeke replied.
Jacques's heart lurched, and he promptly continued asking, “May I know what your name is?”
“Zeke Williams,” Zeke answered.
Buzz!
Jacques' mind went blank.
Zeke Williams! He really is the Great Marshal, Zeke Williams! D*mn Lucy. Of everyone to cross, she had to cross the Great Marshal. Now we're in deep trouble. If the Great Marshal is truly furious, he might really wipe out the entire Yartran.
Jacques had no doubt that Zeke was capable of doing that, for Zeke had done it before.
After recomposing himself, Jacques instantly went on his knees to apologize to Zeke.
It did not matter what country he was from; as long as the Great Marshal was before him, he had to get on his knees.
However, Zeke cleared his throat and gave Jacques a look.
Jacques instantly returned a small nod.
The Great Marshal was in plain clothes, so he clearly was not in a situation where he wanted to reveal his identity.
Thus, Jacques did not kneel. Instead, he tentatively asked, “Mr. Williams, may I know if you've really hit Ms. Lucy?”
Zeke nodded. “That's correct. I've hit her.”
Jacques asked, “Then, may I know why you wanted to hit her?”
“That's because she insulted me and the rest of my people.”
Oh no!
Once again, Jacques' mind imploded.
The godd*mn Lucy insulted the Great Marshal? Even I have to kneel before him, and yet Lucy insulted him? It's a crime punishable by death, and her whole family will go down with her! If the Great Marshal doesn't calm down today, then Yartran will surely encounter great trouble.
Hence, Jacques growled, “Lucy, come here!”
Lucy ran up to him, “Mr. Jacques, you're heard him too. He admitted that he hit me! I strongly suggest letting the international court deal with him.”
Smack!
Without bothering with a reply, Jacques gave Lucy a slap.
Let the international court deal with him? F*ck you. Not even the international court would dare to interrogate Zeke!
Not only had Jacques' harsh slap dumbfounded Lucy, but it had also astounded the rest of the people there.
What's going on? What's happening? Why is Jacques hitting his own people?
With a hand on her aching cheek, Lucy stared at Jacques in shock. “You... What? Why did you hit me?”
Jacques then asked, “Let me ask you a question. Did you insult Mr. Williams?”
“I did, and that's because he deserves it. Furthermore, even if I've insulted him, he shouldn't slap me!”
Smack!
Once again, Jacques slapped her without hesitation.
“It was just a slap. You've insulted him, so he had the right to end you and your entire family! Apologize to Mr. Williams right now!”
