Chapter - 1449

Zeke tossed his phone to the Minister. “Don’t forget to give it back to me when you’re done.”

Then, he walked over to Lacey under everyone’s gazes. “Let’s go, Lacey. There’s nothing else to see here.”

“Huh? Oh. Okay!”

Lacey quickly nodded and held onto Zeke’s arm.

“What in the world did you say to General Maples, Zeke? He looked so terrified just now.”

Zeke certainly wasn’t going to reveal his identity as the number one King Class warrior.

“I convinced him with virtue,” he answered with a mysterious smile.

“Like I’d believe that,” Lacey said furiously.

Dawn let out a silly smile. “Do you even have to ask, Lacey? It’s because Zeke used his last vestiges as the Great Marshal to instill fear in General Maples, of course. A true Great Marshal will always be fearsome to his enemies even if he’s no longer one, unlike someone who’s still trash despite carrying the title.”

While saying that, she rolled her eyes at Emily.

She was clearly mocking the woman and Julian.

Emily lowered her head.

At that point, she just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide in embarrassment.

As Zeke left with his family, the crowd began speculating among themselves.

“As expected of the Great Marshal. He may have lost his title, but our enemies still fear him.”

“Great Marshal Zeke Williams is the true backbone of our nation.”

“Exactly. I strongly suggest he remain as the Great Marshal. Strip Julian Thisleton of his title!”

“Great Marshal! Great Marshal!”

The voices of people showing their support for Zeke continuing his role as the Great Marshal rang across the skies.

The Minister waved at the crowd to silence them.

“Quiet down, everyone. I have an announcement to make. The news about Zeke Williams abandoning his wife is nothing but a rumor. He was deliberately slandered. You may all visit the Eurasia Central Television website. We’ve already posted the truth about this incident.”

The crowd immediately whipped out their phones and accessed the ECTV website.

Heading the website was indeed a clarification report regarding the Great Marshal.

The report mentioned that Zeke did not forsake his wife; rather, it was Emily Clemons who had deliberately walked out on her marriage with Zeke because the man was poor at the time.

Zeke had no other choice but to marry her best friend, Lacey, instead.

Then, to rob Zeke of his title as Great Marshal, Julian Thisleton made a pact with Emily to set Zeke up and sully his reputation.

Evidence had been provided, which meant that these two incidents couldn’t be any further from the truth.

Upon reading the article, remorse was what the Eurasians felt first and foremost.

They had initially berated Zeke without knowing the truth and even stripped him of his title.

What they felt next was anger.

They were furious at Julian’s and Emily’s dirty tricks.

Very quickly, the couple became the subject of everyone’s insults all over Eurasia.

Some reckless citizens even proceeded to attack Julian.

Yet, nothing they did could rid them of the hatred they felt.

Julian could only remain silent and accept whatever came toward him.

Ares chose not to interfere.

At this point, he couldn’t afford to be on Julian’s side, or everyone in Eurasia would go after him too.

Emily certainly didn’t interfere either.

In fact, all she hoped, for now, was to be completely uninvolved with Julian.

The Minister waved at the crowd, beckoning them to calm down.

“Julian Thisleton selfishly bet on the Southern Archipelago, lost the bet and nearly caused utter humiliation to the country. This is his first crime. Moreover, he failed to defeat General Maples this time, thus proving that he wasn’t the one to banish him and reclaim the islands back then. Yet, he tried to take the credit. This is his second crime. In conclusion, Julian Thisleton is not worthy of being the Great Marshal. On the other hand, Zeke Williams easily caused the Lundrians to surrender and successfully restored Eurasia’s pride. He is the people’s hero. Therefore, I suggest that he reclaim his rightful title as Great Marshal.”
