“Let not discuss Clement's human rights violation for now. Should I beat him for insulting Great Marshal?”
After giving it some thought, Bertram replied, “Great Marshal is the backbone of the nation in which the people believe. Those who insult Great Marshal shall be executed! However, we all know that Mr. Bedzra has always respected Great Marshal. How could he insult Great Marshal? Do you have any evidence to prove your claim?”
Sole Wolf said, “I have evidence, of course! All of you witnessed how Clement has insulted Great Marshal earlier on!”
Bertram interrupted, “Nonsense! I can swear that Mr. Bedzra didn't insult Great Marshal.”
“Hehe!” Sole Wolf snickered but didn't elaborate on it.
Instead, he walked up to Zeke and got down on one knee. “Greetings, General North!”
The next moment, all soldiers of Northern Wolf kneeled in unison and shouted, “Greetings, Great Marshal!”
Their voices echoed loudly in the air.
Buzz!
The rest looked at each other in utter disbelief.
What? They call Zeke Great Marshal! My goodness! He... he is Great Marshal!
No matter how blunt Bertram was, he couldn't stand still anymore. As his hand shivered, the gun fell to the ground.
Moreover, others had a mental breakdown when they realized that the man whom they locked up in the cell was Great Marshal.
If insulting Great Marshal was a crime punishable by death, perhaps even their families had to be exterminated!
At that time, they had a look of despair on their faces. Oh no, we are doomed now.
Clement wished he could crawl into a hole to hide his shame.
Why would I conspire with others to frame Great Marshal? I can't make up for my mistakes even if I die a hundred times!
After a while, Zeke said coldly, “Get up, everyone.”
After standing up, Sole Wolf and the soldiers of Northern Wolf continued to surround Bertram, Clement, and the rest.
As Zeke came up to Bertram, the latter went weak at the knees. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to stand straight.
Nonetheless, Bertram's pale expression had exposed his fear.
Zeke teased, “Bertram, how dare you lock me up!”
Bertram replied in a shivering voice, “No one is above the law.”
What the hell?
Sole Wolf was pissed off upon hearing Bertram's reply and wished to teach him a lesson.
However, Zeke waved his hands, gesturing for him not to come forward.
Sole Wolf returned to his position but felt slightly dispirited.
