Chapter - 131

Logan and four soldiers came down from the first van.

And from the second van, Adam, Jeremy, Lily, and Emily.

Daniel and his family were baffled by the strange parade.

“What are you guys doing here?” Lacey stated in confusion.

“Where’s Williams?” Logan asked emotionlessly.

“He went out. Why are you looking for him?” Lacey asked.

“He went out? Hmph, more like absconding from his crime,” Logan sneered.

“What do you mean, absconding from his crime? Don’t falsely accuse him,” Lacey said, clearly flustered.

“Haha! We have enough evidence to prove that it was he who murdered Darren Collins and the Fearsome Foursome,” Logan smirked.

“You guys better hand over Williams and cooperate with our investigation.”

Lacey became anxious.

Five lives… It’s definitely not a small matter.

“That’s impossible,” she defended. “You guys are spouting nonsense. How could Zeke have killed them?”

“Stop sticking up for him, Lacey,” Emily interrupted. “Someone has testified that they saw Zeke kill them with their own eyes.”

“Who?” Lacey asked.

Emily eyed Jeremy.

Jeremy coughed, clearing his throat. “Lacey, we all saw it with our own eyes that Zeke killed Collins, so stop hiding the truth.”

“Hand him over now and you’ll be seen as innocents. Otherwise, you’ll be guilty of harbouring a criminal.”

What?

Lacey and her parents turned into a complete state of panic.

Grandpa and Uncle Jeremy were at the steel mill when Darren Collins’ car had crashed into Winrood River. How could they have possibly witnessed it?

They are framing Zeke!

Daniel was losing his mind. He pointed at Jeremy’s nose, letting loose a torrent of abuse. “Look, Jeremy, I know you have beef with Zeke, but you can’t just put his life at risk!”

“He’s your niece’s husband. How can you do this to him? How can you be so cruel?”

Jeremy felt guilty, as he knew he was going a little too far.

But the thought of rolling in a vast amount of wealth firmed his mind up again.

“You’d better watch your mouth, Daniel. I’m only doing this for the sake of righteousness!”

“If you’re going to keep screwing around with me, I’ll sue you for libel.”

Daniel ground his jaw. “Fine, go ahead and sue me. By all means.”

“There are laws in this world. You can’t just simply accuse a good Samaritan as a murderer.”

“Laws?” Logan snickered. “I am the Law!”

“With the three of them as my witnesses, plus the evidence I have in my hands, it’s easy to punish Williams with a death penalty.”

Daniel and his family broke down.

Logan is telling the truth. He can really screw with Zeke’s life.

“But I think Williams has rare medical talents,” Logan changed the subject abruptly. “I can actually give him a chance.”

“What chance?” Lacey asked hastily.

“Hand over all the companies under your name for this matter to be dropped,” Logan replied.

“No way!” Hannah refused with finality. “Those companies are Lacey’s blood, sweat, and tears. They are more important than her own life. In no way can they be handed to you shameless people!”

“So you don’t agree? Alright then, I’ll issue an arrest warrant right now.”

“Wait, hold on.” Lacey drew in a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. “Let me give Zeke a call first.”

Hannah’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, give Zeke a call first. He can surely settle this.”

Meanwhile, Zeke was at the Provincial Military District in search of evidence of Logan’s act of treason.

Upon picking up Lacey’s call and learning what just happened, Zeke slapped the table and stood up in a fury.

“Bastard, he came too soon!”

“Fine. Since he asked for it, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Just ignore him, Lacey. Don’t hand over the business. I’ll be back soon.”

“Zeke, don’t come back for now,” Lacey said nervously.

“Logan came with soldiers. They may restrain if you come back.”

“I’ll deal with them first. Then you can show up once we come up with a perfect plan!”

Lacey quickly hung up after saying that, afraid Zeke would reject her suggestion.

With great force, Zeke crushed the pen in his hand into powder. “Lone Wolf, dispatch a team!”

“Great Marshal,” Lone Wolf saluted. “Please advise how many men I should bring with me!”

“Deploy all soldiers from the Provincial Military District!” Zeke ordered.

Lone Wolf’s eyes brightened.

There are over fifty thousand men from the Provincial Military District. The Great Marshal is finally up to something big!

Is he finally going to reveal his identity?

Lone Wolf suddenly remembered the phrase the Great Marshal often said.

Someday the dragon will rise, and the river will flow backwards.

Someday the tiger will return to the mountain, and half of the sky will be stained with blood.
