Chapter 10


    Zeke furrowed his brows. “What is it? Who are they?”


    “They''re from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau,” Lacey said.


    “Today is the day for a weekly routine spot check. I didn''t expect them to inspect the steel mill. There’s


    just been a fight here. This ce is a mess. I don''t know if it can pass the review.”


    “Don''t worry, I''m here. It''ll be fine,” Zekeforted.


    If he wanted to, he could easily make the capital of Oakheart City his own. A few rotten fish and


    shrimps from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau did not bother him at all.


    With noment, Lacey pouted as she personally weed the other party.


    As Zeke had nothing to do, he went into the bathroom and smoked.


    Halfway through his cigarette, he bumped into a man in a suit.


    Zeke recognized him as the leader of the Industrial and Commercial team.


    The other party was trying hard at the urinal for a long time but couldn''t seem to squeeze out a drop of


    urine.


    His face flushed from suffocation. He was sweating profusely and groaning in difort.


    Zeke couldn''t help but feel sorry for him.


    You''re suffering from kidney stones, Zeke thought to himself. At this rate, he''ll die from a burst dder.


    Not wanting any casualties in the steel mill, he chose a few long silver needles from the Ammo Needle


    and walked toward the man.


    “Don''t move,” Zeke said. “I''ll help you crush the stones.”


    “Hey, hey, hey.” The man in a suit panicked. “What are you doing? Stop it...”


    Even famous doctors from around the world couldn''t get rid of his kidney stones. It would be an


    international joke if this man could cure it with just a few silver needles.


    However, Zeke had already taken action before he could finish his sentence.


    The silver needles were inserted from his lower back into his dder.


    The man cursed, “What the f**k,” but suddenly stopped.


    Almost immediately, the sound of rushing water and afortable hush sound were heard.


    The man clearly noticed countless small, fractured stones being excreted along with the urine.


    He was so exhrated that his eyes brimmed with tears.


    The problem that had been troubling and causing him pain for five years had finally been solved.


    What a miracle!


    I''ve met a living god!


    The man was so thrilled that he wanted to shake Zeke''s hand, not realizing that he had peed on his


    hands.


    Zeke berated, “Go wash your hands.”


    The man shot him an awkward smile, taking out a name card. “Nice to meet you, Divine Doctor. Please


    ept my name card.”


    “I''m Liam George, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. If you have something to say,


    please go ahead.”


    Zeke didn''t reply but noticed the wolf''s head logo on his wrist.


    “You were ckie''s underling?”


    Liam''s eyes constricted, his hands shaking.


    Who on earth is this man to have the nerve to call him ckie?


    “Yes, I... I was ck Wolf''s subordinate,” Liam said. “And you are...”


    Zeke turned around and left without epting his name card. “The name''s Zeke, Zeke Williams.”


    What?


    Thud!


    Liam couldn''t help but fall on his knees.


    Zeke Williams, the legend from the armed forces, the God of War, who led thousands of troops to make


    a clean sweep of the borders of nine countries...


    He''s a living god!


    I can''t believe I''ve met a patron saint while I was peeing.


    Zeke returned to Lacey''s side, who was looking sad and despondent.


    “It''s over. They''ve discovered many problems just now. The steel mill will definitely have to close for


    reorganization. We''ll be in serious trouble if it affects the Schneider family''s order.”


    Zeke patted her shoulder gently. “Rx. We won''t.”


    “You don''t have to console me.” Lacey sighed. “I''ve been dealing with them for over five years. I''m well


    aware of their style of doing things.”


    At this moment, Liam came out of the washroom.


    He gestured to his subordinates, who then hurriedly gathered around him.


    He briefly said a few words to them, then led them into the car and departed.


    Lacey gaped in surprise. “Why did they leave? That''s unusual.”


    Then, suddenly remembering something, she scrutinized Zeke from top to bottom. “Aren''t you going to


    exin anything to me?”


    “Exin what?” Zeke asked.


    “For example, how did you know that someone had acquired every steel mill in the city, cutting Emily


    off supplies and that she would beg us for supplies?” Lacey questioned.


    “And how could the dignified Schneider family be interested in our small mill and give us such arge


    order? Also, you said that the people from the Industrial and Commerce Bureau will not trouble us. And


    look, they’ve really left.”


    “Easy,” Zeke said casually.


    “I was the one who acquired every steel mill in the city and prevented them from supplying to Emily. As


    for the Schneider family, it''s just a little something that I''ve set up at Oakheart City. The Schneider


    family''s property is all mine. And the people from the Industrial and Commerce Bureau? They''re not


    even a speck of dust in my eyes.”


    Lacey was mentally exhausted. “Can you do something about your bravado?”


    Zeke was dumbstruck.


    What happened to trust between people?


    ...


    Meanwhile, Emily had arrived at Jackson''s office with a stomach full of anger.


    After exining the ins and outs of what exactly happened, Jackson went ballistic.


    “You''re a piece of trash, Emily. Do you know that? How could you mess up this simple matter?”


    In fact, what happened today had all been nned by Jackson.


    He had sent Emily to Lacey''s steel mill to threaten her with her bankruptcy.


    That way, Lacey would beg him in return, and then he could threaten her with the marriage contract.


    However, he had not expected Emily to y this good card so badly.


    Emily felt aggrieved. After all, it wasn''t her fault that the n fell through. She could only me the


    person who had secretly acquired every steel mill in the city and stopped supplying to the Hamilton


    family.


    However, she didn''t dare to express her inner thoughts. “Jackson, I think it''s more appropriate that you


    take care of this and separate them yourself. Zeke Williams has no right to im your woman. He''s just


    a simp.”


    “Hmph! Williams, that piece of shit,” Jackson snorted. “It''s not my turn to strike yet.”


    “Phoebe, have you done everything you were told to do?”


    “Don''t worry, Mr. Hamilton,” said his secretary at the side in a coquettish manner.


    “I''ve followed your instructions and made Jeremy''s son-inw the section chief of the Industrial and


    Commercial Bureau.”


    Jackson smiled in satisfaction.


    To his knowledge, Lacey''s family was afraid of Jeremy; they obeyed him.


    If Jeremy spoke up and forced Lacey to marry him, Lacey would most likelyply.


    As such, he had made a deal with Jeremy.


    In return of making Jeremy''s son-inw the section chief of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau,


    Jeremy would force Lacey to get engaged with him tonight.


    And if Lacey didn''t agree to it, Jeremy would let his son-inw seize Lacey''s steel mill.


    The n for tonight was foolproof.


    ...


    It was the evening when Lacey received a call from Jeremy.


    Jeremy''s son-inw had be the section chief of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and they


    had invited her and Zeke to a celebration feast.


    Upon hearing that, Lacey''s eyes lit up. She quickly epted the invitation.


    Hanging up the phone, she said to Zeke mysteriously, “I finally know why the steel mill wasn''t held


    ountable by the Industry and Commerce team today.”


    “Why?” Zeke asked.


    “Uncle Jeremy''s son-inw became the section chief of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It must


    be because of him that they didn''t probe deeper today.”


    Zeke remained silent.


    The director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Liam George, personally stepped forward today.


    Why would he do what he did today for a mere section chief?

    It''s because he was grateful for my kindness in curing his disease that he let you go today.


    “Come on. Let''s go to the celebration feast. I want to thank Uncle Jeremy and his family properly,”


    Lacey said.


    Zeke creased his brows. “Your uncle invited me as well?”


    Lacey nodded. “Yeah, he insisted for you to attend.”


    Zeke contemted.


    Why would Jeremy take the initiative to invite me when he had disapproved of my marriage with Lacey


    all this while?


    It seems this celebration feast is a trap.


    I hope they aren’t targeting me this time, Zeke thought to himself. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind banishing


    them from this country.


    Jeremy had been challenging him too many times. Zeke was beginning to lose his patience.


    As a precautionary measure, Zeke secretly sent a message to Lone Wolf.
