Chapter 1415


    “She’s not doing so well,” Sole Wolf reported. “Emily Clemons is now in power, and she calls herself


    the Lady of the Great Marshal. She had shut down New Linton Group and even seized thend on


    which its building sits. I’ve been following your orders by keeping watch from a distance; I didn’t help


    her at all on my own ord.”


    A fresh swell of rage rose in Zeke.


    “That woman sure is nasty as always! We shall take this opportunity to eradicate this threat once and


    for all. Solo, you did the right thing by not stepping in to help.”


    Zeke wasn’t preparing to beat them at their own game. Until he managed to lure out the hidden sects of


    Mount Final through the fake Ares and Julian, he wouldn’t stand in the way of their ns.


    “What are you going to do next?” Sole Wolf asked.


    “Recuperate in the Cygnus Room first,” Zeke said briefly. “The King shall return in three days!”


    “Got it!” Sole Wolf said.


    Three dayster, the building opposite New Linton Group was gay withnterns and decorations, and


    the beating of gongs and drums rang up to the skies. It was a festive asion.


    The building across the street had been taken over by Emily to serve as the headquarters of Emperor’s


    Residence.


    Compared to the opposite side, New Linton Group was deserted.


    There was not a single person in sight in that monumental building; rather, countless excavators and


    demolition machines had surrounded it.


    If Lacey refused to sell the building to Emily for twenty million, Emily would mobilize these machines to


    demolish the building.


    Lacey, Dawn, and Nancy stood at the door of New Linton Group observing the fiery festivities across


    the street. They were disheartened.


    A strong sense of defeat made them look up.


    “Lacey, haven’t you been able to get in touch with Zeke?” Dawn asked.


    Lacey shook her head.


    “Are you really set on tearing down this building?” Nancy asked, “We won’t get a single cent if the


    building is demolished. But if we sell it to Emily, we can still get twenty million... Why do we have to


    make things even more difficult for ourselves?”


    Lacey smiled bitterly. “You’re too na?ve, Nancy. Do you think Emily would dly give us twenty million?


    She will definitely find ways to bail out.”


    Nancy nodded thoughtfully. “I guess I’ve overestimated Emily.”


    “Let’s just tear it down and forget about it, then. If we can’t keep this building, Emily mustn’ty a finger


    on it, either.”


    “Lacey, what’s going on here?” a breathy voice of an elderly person sounded.


    Lacey’s parents, Daniel and Hannah, came by.


    “Oh, it’s nothing,” Lacey exined sheepishly with a light blush on her face. “Mom, Dad, what brings


    you here?”


    “An unfamiliar caller called us and said that something had happened to New Linton Group, so we


    came over to have a look,” Daniel said.


    Lacey’s expression changed.


    Damn it! It must be Emily who called them.


    “Lacey, howe there are so many excavators and bulldozers here?” another familiar voice drifted to


    Lacey’s ears.


    They were Zeke’s parents, Faith and Diego.


    “Mom, Dad, what are you guys doing here?” Lacey asked in a fluster.


    “The senior executive in charge of human resources told us that something has cropped up with Linton


    Group, so we came to see what’s going on,” Faith answered.

    The senior executive in charge of human resources has long since jumped ship to Emperor’s


    Residence.


    Emily is indeed behind all this!


    Lacey had intended to hide it from the elders, lest they worry.


    But little did she expect Emily to rm them.


    Just as Lacey was racking her brain about how to exin to them, Emily was seen walking out from the


    opposite building, running all the way to Lacey.


    “You’re all here. Where’s Zeke? Howe I didn’t see him?”
