Chapter 1183


    The blood pouring from their necks pooled into a river of red.


    A ck figure stalked amidst the bodies, checking to see if there was still anyone alive.


    The team leader was still stubbornly clinging on to life as he struggled to breathe.


    His eyes were wide with fear as he stared at the ck figure. “W-who...are y-you? W-why do you l-look


    so f-familiar?”


    “Zeke Williams. Most people call me the Great Marshal!” Zeke replied.


    The Great Marshal!


    The team leader’s terror-filled eyes widened further before his body froze and his breathing stopped.


    He had literally been scared to death.


    It was an honor that they had managed to make the Great Marshal and Arese after them.


    Shortly after, Ares and the others arrived.


    Eyeing the corpses littering the ground, Ares was more than annoyed. “I never would have thought that


    the Great Marshal would go back on his words! He was supposed to keep someone alive for me to kill!”


    Of course, that was just a pretense. Ares did not want Zeke to have any more blood on his hands and


    make more enemies.


    In fact, he wanted to defeat Zeke and the other men in order to snatch back the title of Great Marshal.


    He wanted Zeke to retire from the frontlines.


    After all, it seemed like Zeke intended on being with Lacey for the rest of his life.


    If Zeke continued being the Great Marshal and made more enemies, that mighte back to affect


    Lacey and his future generations.


    This was why Ares wanted to bear the responsibility for everything.


    Naturally, Zeke understood the man’s intentions. He smiled slightly and stated, “Don’t worry.”


    While the response might seem random to others, Ares understood his meaning.


    Zeke was telling him not to worry as he would protect Lacey.


    Just then, Lacey came over with her face paled.

    There were two reasons for that. For one, the weather was chilly; Secondly, the bloody sight was


    terrifying for her.


    “Zeke, let’s go home,” her voice wavered as she urged.


    “Alright.” He helped her into the vehicle with his arm wrapped around her.


    Upon realizing that Lacey was still cradling her belly, he was puzzled. It’s already been so long yet


    she’s still feeling ufortable?


    He might be well-versed in the medical field but he waspletely clueless when it came to


    gynecology.


    After much thought, he finally came up with a possibility - Lacey was having her period. He had heard


    that most women would have cramps during this time. Hmm, I should make her some hot chocte


    when we get back.


    Once they arrived home, he quickly whipped up a mug of hot chocte for her.


    As he expected, she regained a little bit of color in her cheeks after drinking the hot chocte.


    “Zeke, why did you suddenly make me a cup of hot chocte?”


    Grinning proudly, he answered, “I heard hot chocte helps with menstruation cramps. Are you still


    hurting, Lacey?”


    Lacey blinked in surprise beforeughing. “Oh, you! You’re the epitome foolishness, aren’t you?”


    Completely bewildered, Zeke asked, “Huh? Isn’t that true?”


    He did not think much of it after that. Once she went to sleep, he left the house.


    He wanted to discuss about the incident at Bloodsworth Syndicate with Ares, which did not look like it


    would be over anytime soon.


    On the way there, he noticed a lot of couples drinking milk tea.


    It was only after he questioned some of them that he understood the reason why.


    Apparently, couples drinking milk tea together was the new trend.


    No wonder Lacey was a little unhappy at him making hot chocte for her instead.


    Zeke invited Ares to meet with him alone.


    “If I’m not mistaken, the Bloodsworth Syndicate’s submarine is a military ss vessel. Their power


    exceeded my expectations. What a disaster!”
