Chapter 1296


    With that, he ended the call.


    Rowan’s innocent question gave himself a diabolical idea.


    Linton Group was expanding really quickly and was now among the top fivergestpanies in


    Atheville. It was a rare find.


    If he seized Linton Group, not only would he make a fortune but also please his boss.


    He could kill two birds with one stone.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    There was no reason for him not to carry out such a profitable n.


    Without any dy, Rowan started nning his strategy to take over Linton Group.


    Meanwhile, Lacey was in the kitchen cooking up a storm.


    She was d that the three of them had the rare opportunity to share a meal together.


    When they were almost finished, Zeke received a call from Mr. Collins.


    Thetter sounded grave. “Great Marshal, pleasee down to the Military District Hospital.”


    “Benjamin may know who is behind the ambush of the Seal Mercenary Team.”


    What?


    Zeke was shocked.


    It was a serious revtion. Hence, he quickly bid Lacey and Missy goodbye before rushing off to the


    hospital.


    Meanwhile, Mr. Collins was pacing anxiously outside the entrance of Benjamin’s ward.


    When he saw Zeke, he quickly approached. “Great Marshal, you’re here.”


    Zeke asked sternly, “What’s going on?”


    Mr. Collins replied, “When I revealed the identity of the leader of the Seal Mercenary Team, Benjamin


    remembered something. He said that he may know who killed the team. As it was a grave matter, he


    was unwilling to share it with me and only wanted to report it directly to you.”


    Taking a deep breath, Zeke replied, “Let’s go find out then.”


    Both of them entered the ward.


    After treatment, Benjamin’s life was no longer in danger.


    However, he was still weak.


    By now, he knew Zeke was the man in ck who saved him.


    Hence, he wanted to get out of bed to personally thank thetter.


    However, Zeke stopped him. “Don’t move, it might make your injuries worse.”


    “Great Marshal, have you achieved the power of the King ss?”


    Zeke nodded.


    Benjamin’s expression was filled with pride. “For the Great Marshal to achieve King ss, it’s an honor


    for Eurasia.”


    Mr. Collins grew impatient. “Stop the bullshit and cut to the chase.”


    “Who ambushed my Seal Mercenary Teamst time?”


    Benjamin gave Mr. Collins a wary look.


    However, Zeke reassured him, “You can speak with confidence, he can be trusted.”


    Benjamin exined, “Five years ago when I was serving in the northern regions, there was an enemy


    called Rowan Krate. Rowan used to be a mercenary but was recruited by the military in the end. He


    used to boast that he ughtered the Seal Mercenaries. But, the military’s official line was that the


    mercenaries disbanded themselves, hence no one believed what he said. Mr. Collins just told me that


    they were indeed killed in an ambush. That’s when I suspected Rowan’s words were not an idle boast.”


    Rowan Krate!


    Clenching his teeth, Mr. Collins dered, “I’m going to look for him now.”


    With that, he turned to leave.


    “Stop!” Zeke called out to Mr. Collins. “You don’t even know who Rowan is, how are you going to find


    him? Besides, he couldn’t have done it alone. He must have aplices. If you seek him out for


    revenge, you might warn off hispanions instead.”


    Despite being unconvinced, Mr. Collins stopped in his tracks. “Tell me, where is Rowan now?”


    Benjamin replied, “He has retired from the army and runs a factory producing military supplies,


    including guns and ammunition.”


    Zeke frowned. “Rowan started out as a mercenary. So, how can he manufacture weapons? If he sells


    the weapons back to his former mercenary employers, it would be a disaster for Eurasia.”
