The spy nodded. “Yes.”
“She is a fool!” Ares went livid and kicked another servant forcefully.
“Why did you choose to take action right then? I’ve been planning this for six months, but the fool ruined
everything!”
The spy inquired cautiously, “Sir, what shall we do next?”
Ares gritted his teeth. “Hmph! The Great Marshal had captured those useless men! If they remain alive, they might
rat me out. Kill all of them at once.”
“Wait, let me kill them myself. The Great Marshal must’ve locked them in a secret dungeon. No one else can break
in except me.”
The spy replied, “Got it.”
Ares decided not to take action tonight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he were right, the Great Marshal would be guarding those prisoners personally so he probably wouldn’t get to kill
them all.
I’ll take action tomorrow night. They are strong enough to remain silent until then, he mused.
But he had seriously underestimated the ability of Cygnus Room.
In just one night, Cygnus Room had successfully forced the prisoners to confess using the latest technology.
The next morning, Lacey woke Zeke up. “Get up!” she hollered.
Zeke was still sleepy. “It’s still early. Let’s get some more sleep.”
Lacey urged, “Hurry, wake up. I need to wash the bedsheets.”
Zeke was puzzled. “Why are you washing the bedsheets this early?”
“It’s none of your business. I like to wash bedsheets, so what?” Lacey’s cheeks flushed prettily.
After forcing Zeke to wake up, Lacey removed the bedsheets and left to wash them.
Zeke only realized the reason behind her action after he spotted a red stain on the bedsheets.
The newlyweds enjoyed a simple breakfast together before Zeke sent Lacey to the Linton Group. After that, he
made his way to Cygnus Room.
Sole Wolf informed him Cygnus Room had managed to pry out confidential information from the prisoners.
As soon as Zeke arrived, Sole Wolf greeted him before handing a file to him.
“Zeke, here you go. The prisoners’ testimonies.”
“Mm,” Zeke answered and took the file from him.
He opened it and started reading.
Sole Wolf explained, “Zeke, Cygnus Room had analyzed their testimonies. They think the current Ares might be an
impersonator.”
“Huh?” Zeke raised his head and looked at Sole Wolf. “Why is that so?”
“They stated three reasons,” replied Sole Wolf.
“First, you know how Ares became dejected and listless after losing to you, right? However, two years ago, he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsuddenly became active and did many great things. His actions and behavior were completely different from his
usual self.”
“Second, although Ares wanted to take over your position, our nation was always his priority. But now, he had
resorted to despicable means to replace you and put the interest of our nation at stake just to achieve his goal. He
even schemed to assassinate you.”
“Third, everyone knows Ares used to have his Blade of Ares with him at all times. But now, he always forgets to
take it with him. Even those by his side think he is nothing but an impersonator.”
Zeke drew in a cold breath.
Based on the assumptions, Cygnus Room might be right.
Ares was the strongest man in Eurasia after me. If he is an impersonator, he will be a huge threat to our nation, he
thought.
Sole Wolf asked carefully, “What should we do next?”
“Nothing,” Zeke answered.
Sole Wolf was confused. “Nothing? So we’ll let the fake Ares do whatever he wants?”
