Zeke thought for a moment before giving out his order. “Let him go. I still need to take the Hamilton
Group from him and give it to Lacey. It's time for her to live an extravagant life or else she's going to
reject me again. Another thing, station ten thousand soldiers in Oakheart City. They might come in
handy when we want to take the other families down.”
“Yes, Sir!” Lone Wolf replied.
As soon as Jackson returned to his mansion, he got a visit from Emily.
“What do you want?” Jackson questioned Emily impatiently.
“Are you going to let Zeke off the hook?” Emily asked. “I have a plan to bring him down.”
“Oh? Tell me.”
“Didn't you know that Lacey got a huge deal with the Schneider family recently? They need to produce
a huge amount of metal,” Emily explained. “According to my sources, Lacey still owes the supplier a lot
of money. If we ask the supplier to stop supplying the mill unless she pays, the factory will shut down in
two days. This will affect the Schneiders' doing their business, which will anger them. Zeke will come
running to beg for your help by then.”
“Heck, you sure are one scary woman,” Jackson exclaimed. “I happen to know the supplier. This will be
a piece of cake. But... Wouldn't the Great Marshal stop us if we try to harm Lacey?”
“You don't have to worry about that,” Emily smiled. “You know that my brother is in the army, right? He
called me just now and told me the whole army has learned that Lacey has rejected the Great Marshal; All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
they're furious. My brother even warned me to stay away from her. Let's see how the Great Marshal is
going to protect her now.”
“Shit! That's why I was released!” Jackson sighed. “I'll take care of this right away! Zeke and Lacey,
both of you are so dead!”
...
Zeke was woken up by a loud voice early morning the next day.
“Listen! Someone has just sent ten thousand soldiers into our city!” Daniel exclaimed.
“Something big might go down soon!” Hannah guessed. “Why else would anyone deploy that many
soldiers during such a peaceful time.”
Zeke stared at Lacey affectionately. They're here for you.
Lacey's phone suddenly rang. After she'd answered it, her face turned pale.
“Lacey? What's wrong?” Zeke quickly asked.
“Something happened at the factory!” Lacey replied before she left in a hurry.
Zeke frowned and called the richest man in all of Oakheart City, Evan Schneider.
“Find out what's happening with Lacey's factory.”
Zeke couldn’t believe he would be able to use the soldiers so soon.
As soon as the call hung up, Evan ordered his men to investigate the matter.
