“Zeke, I have the results of the investigation.”
Meanwhile, Wolf’s Greed had secretly contacted Zeke.
Zeke urged, “Speak.”
Wolf’s Greed continued, “There are no generals in the Williams family. The general Lucille mentioned should be the son of the Lewis family, Ryker Lewis. The Williams family and the Lewis family are about to unite in marriage. When that happens, Ryker will be part of the Williams family.”
Zeke hummed in realization, “What rank does Ryker have?”
Wolf’s Greed answered, “Major-General.”
Zeke huffed, “They’re using a Major-General against me? He’s barely a threat.”
Wolf’s Greed continued, “Oh, one more thing. Ryker’s trying to invite you to Zach and Robin’s marriage. Do I reject his invitation on your behalf?”
Zeke asked, “Is he inviting me, or the Great Marshal?”
Wolf’s Greed replied, “Great Marshal, of course.”
Zeke nodded. “Okay. Tell him that I’ll be going. I’ll be going as both Great Marshal and the abandoned son of the Williams family.”
Wolf’s Greed’s eyes lit up.
Is Zeke going to show off for once?
After ending Wolf’s Greed’s call, Brent called.
“Mr. Williams, Major-General Ryker Jenkins is trying to bail Zach out. What do you think of the matter?”
Zeke gave his words a brief contemplation. “Let him go. He’ll be back in jail in two days.”
...
When the Williams and Lewis family found out that Great Marshal was attending the wedding, they were overjoyed.
This was their chance to be the glory of the family.
This was their chance to be the glory of the family.
Although they had seven days before the wedding, the two families had started preparing.
They had to prepare a grand reception for the Great Marshal.
The news soon spread across the entire Atheville.
There was not a single soul in Atheville that was not envious of Zach and Robin.
It was the biggest honor for them to receive blessings from the Great Marshal during their wedding.
Time flew by.
Soon, it was the day of the wedding.
It was located in Atheville’s grandest hall... Haven Hall.
The hall was already crowded early in the morning.
Everybody wanted to catch a glimpse of the Great Marshal in person.
The members of the Williams and Lewis family, including Zach and Robin, were waiting in the hall for Ryker and the Great Marshal’s arrival.
Before both of them arrived, an uninvited guest appeared. It was Zeke.
The moment he stepped into the hall; the atmosphere grew tense.
Everyone was looking at him with mocking eyes.
“Huh? Why is this guy here?”
“Ha. He’s been chased out of the Williams family, and he had gone against them a while ago. I can’t believe he has the audacity to show his face on this wedding.”
“Hmph! I’m sure he’s here to butter up the Williams family. However, now that the Williams family has invited the Great Marshal, they’re someone he can’t butter up anymore.”
“How shameless.”
Lucille fumed, “B******. Who’s asked you to come? Get lost!”
In a cold tone, Zeke announced, “You were the ones who’d invited me here.”
Huh?
The crowd froze before bursting into laughter.
He had been chased out of the Williams family, and he had beaten up the bride and groom earlier.
Why would the Williams and Lewis family invite him?
This guy’s really pulled out all the stops to see the Great Marshal.
He’ll say anything to achieve his goal.
Lucille fumed, “Get someone to kick him out of here!”
However, Conrad suggested, “Forget it, Mrs. Williams. I heard that he’s a good fighter. I’m afraid our guards won’t be a match for him. It won’t be good for us if this ends up a bloodbath. Why don’t I ask Ryker to get this man out when he comes instead?”
Lucille nodded. “Yes. That sounds good.”
Zeke swept his gaze across the crowd to find only one seat empty... the front seat.
Beside the seats were Lucille and Conrad.
Without a doubt, that seat was reserved for the Great Marshal.
Zeke walked straight toward it and sat down.
“Whoa!”
An uproar erupted in the crowd, and some even gasped.
This guy just took the Great Marshal’s seat!
He’s ignorant and arrogant!
