Chapter 1172


    For the past two years, he had been living with the enemy who had imprisoned his father.


    Moreover, he had called that man his father the entire time.


    For a moment, he could not ept the cruel fact.


    However, soon, he found relief.


    Who cares if he’s the enemy? So what if Bloodsworth killed my father? As long as he treats my legs,


    he’s my benefactor.


    Julian answered, “Okay, I’ll do it.”


    Lilith worriedly asked, “Julian, can you really lure Zeke out of Atheville? You have to be extremely


    careful. This man is terrifying. If he finds out about the n, he might kill you on the spot.”


    Julian reassured his mother, “Don’t worry. I know what to do. It’ll be the Harvest Festival in a few days.


    On that day, Lacey will return to Thisleton Manor and that is a God-given opportunity for me.”


    ......


    Ares called Zeke, “Great Marshal, I’ve interrogated the captain of my family’s guards, Killian Chene,


    and I’ve managed to get some information from him. But I’m not sure if they’ll be useful or not.”

    Zeke answered, “Speak.”


    Ares continued, “The fake Ares, Bloodsworth, was sworn brothers with Killian. He wanted Killian to help


    him look for Gentiana scabra without raising anyone’s attention.”


    Zeke asked, “Gentiana scabra? One of the rarest nts in Eurasia? What does he need it for?”


    “That’s what I’m confused about. While the nt is rare, Bloodsworth wouldn’t be interested in a nt


    like that.”


    Zeke nodded. “Yes. Although it’s rare, it’s only useful for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.


    Only those with ALS would be interested in it... Hold on. ALS. Does that mean...”


    Ares queried, “Great Marshal, do you mean that Bloodsworth might have ALS?”


    Zeke answered, “Very likely. I’ve exchanged blows with Bloodsworth back at the high-security prison.


    Back then, I sensed that his agility and strength had greatly decreased, and his movements were stiff.


    From this I can conclude that he has ALS. However, he’s still in his early stages, so it’s not that


    obvious.”


    Ares beamed, “God must know where evil is. As long as we keep the Gentiana scabra from him, he’ll


    die from ALS eventually. It’ll save us the trouble.”


    However, Zeke shook his head. “I’m afraid you might be too optimistic about it. If he has ALS, it’s


    unlikely that he’s able to get out of this ce. Hence, I think he’s still in Atheville. The thing is, he’s


    good at disguising himself. So, he might disguise himself as Cygnus Room’s staff to steal Gentiana


    scabra from there.”


    Ares muttered, “You must strengthen your defenses for now. We can’t let him have his way. He’s the


    archenemy of Eurasia. We’ll have to deal with him with caution.”


    Zeke replied, “I know. Are you trying to tell me how to handle things? Don’t forget that I’m the


    commander of three armies, and you’re my subordinate. Know where you stand and think before you


    speak.”


    Ares scoffed, “My capabilities are above yours now. When I return to my peak state, I’ll challenge you


    for the title of Great Marshal.”


    Zeke responded, “Very well. I look forward to teaching you a lesson.”


    “Ha. I hope you’ll do as well as you speak now when that dayes. Right. It’ll be Harvest Festival


    soon. I hope you won’t go back on your words and bring Lacey back to Thisleton Manor to be inducted


    back into the Thisleton family.”


    ......


    The night of Harvest Festival was a night where families would get together in celebration.


    Every house in Atheville was merry asughter echoed the streets.


    However, there was not even a tinge of happiness in Lacey.


    Today, she would be celebrating the night with a group of family members she barely knew.


    She was overwhelmed by an array of inexplicable emotions.


    Initially, she wanted Daniel and Hannah to keep herpany, but they rejected.
