Chapter 2446
As soon as his words fell, the others gasped. Did he just say it had utterly dominated him? He must be
kidding!
Zeke looked in the direction where the huge hand had disappeared and said solemnly, “Chase after it!”
Although he knew it was almost impossible for the others to catch up to it, he wasn''t ready to just give
up. I''m Lacey''sst hope! I can''t give up!
“Roger that!” Sole Wolf and the others chased after it unhesitatingly.
Obviously, they weren''t going to defy their Great Marshal''s order.
Zeke wanted to chase after it as well. However, the moment he tried to use his energy, he felt a sharp
pain in his body, and he started vomiting blood again. That huge hand seriously injured me, and it even
damaged my life force. I can''t use my energy anymore. Without it, I''m only a little faster than a normal
human.
After taking a deep breath, he had no choice but to give up chasing after the hand. If I continue using
my life force to chase after it, I might die. My daughter still needs me. I can''t die!
He then looked in the direction where the huge hand had gone and gritted his teeth. “Lacey, don''t
worry. No matter what, I''ll save you! I don''t care where that huge hand came from. Since it dared to
bully my woman, I must kill it!”
With that, he started limping back home.
The dragon Fortuna coughed out a mouthful of blood and said weakly, “Zeke, don''t worry. I doubt
Lacey is going to be in any danger.”

He had suffered a few broken bones, and his life force was also damaged, leaving him on the brink of
death.
“Oh? How are you so sure?” Zeke asked.
“I felt it. When the huge hand was grabbing onto that stream of Fortuna, its grip was tremendously
powerful. However, when it was grabbing onto Lacey, its strength decreased by a lot, not anywhere
close to being able to hurt her. If it was trying to harm her, why did it purposely decrease its strength?”
Fortuna answered.
Zeke felt slightly relieved. “Yes. You have a point. Yet, why did it want Lacey? She''s just an ordinary
woman.”
The dragon Fortuna smiled wryly in response. “Ordinary? I highly doubt it! Didn''t you notice? Even
though Lacey was less than a meter away from that Fortuna, she wasn''t the slightest bit injured.
Instead, she merely fainted. Ordinary people would''ve been turned into a human paste and died on the
spot! Therefore, she''s not an ordinary woman. In my opinion, I think Lacey''s background is a lot more
complicated than we first thought.”
Zeke fell into deep thought and nodded. Lacey, what other secrets are you hiding? How I wish you and
I could be ordinary. That way, we can live like ordinary people. However, I''m the Great Marshal. There''s
no way I''ll ever live a normal life.
“Fortuna, you''ve done well in protecting Lacey. I''ll reward you handsomely,” Zeke uttered.
“Haha! That''s not necessary. I was just doing my job. If you insist, you should just give me Ossa Dei,”
Fortuna replied.
Zeke ignored it and left for his house to see Nelly.
Fortuna simply chuckled in response.
Zeke dragged his tired body back to his house.
After entering, he saw Daniel and Hannah watching the television with Nelly in their arms. The scene
was rather harmonious.
Upon seeing Zeke, Nelly quickly got down from the couch and ran toward him. “Carry me, Daddy!
Carry me!”
Zeke lifted Nelly into his arms and smiled. “Nelly, have you been a good girl?”
Nelly nodded. “Daddy, I''ve been good. I even helped Grandma with household chores.”
Zeke smiled. “Have you been helping around? Good girl! You''re all grown up now, Nelly.”
Hannah stood up and said, “Zeke, have you eaten? I''ll make food for you.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
While walking away, Hannah mumbled to herself, “This boy... Why is he still so polite? What''s there to
thank me for?”
