Chapter - 1451

The Minister grimaced. “I’m afraid this is not up to you. The public has already expressed their desire for you to take up the mantle of Great Marshal again. While you may not accept it, the fact of the matter is you’ll always be the Great Marshal to them.”

Zeke answered, “Mr. Minister, I don’t mind if you really want to reward me. Emperor Group has caused Linton Group to suffer considerable losses. That’s I want to take over Emperor Group to make up for it. Maybe you could help me with that?”

The Minister pondered the thought before replying, “Hmm, how about this? I’ll discuss giving Linton Group an equivalent value worth of assets or business deals with the President. Is that satisfactory for you?”

“No. I want Emperor Group.”

The minister chuckled. “Great Marshal, you’re making things difficult for me. The real person in charge of Emperor Group is Ares. Needless to say, he was less than pleased when you crippled Julian Thisleton. If you really insist on obtaining Emperor Group, I’m worried he’ll explode. Being a King Class expert, Eurasia will definitely suffer unimaginable casualties if he rebels. Also, what if he decides to ally with our enemy nations? | shudder to imagine the threat that would pose to us!”

Zeke stated while laughing, “That’s the point! I want him to rebel! Anyways, I have to hang up now. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

He wanted to learn all four forms of the Seven Star Tiger Punch from Ares, which could only happen if he met the other man in combat.

So technically, the real reason he wanted to take over Emperor Group was to force Ares to come out and face him.

On her way to Emperor Group, Lacey kept reminding Zeke not to do anything rash and not to get physical no matter what. She did not want anything bad to happen.

“Relax, I know what to do.”

Soon, they arrived at the building of the company. They were stopped at the entrance by a security guard.

To their surprise, that security guard had used to work at Linton Group before he betrayed the company and came to work for Emperor Group.

He raised an arm to block their way, ordering, “Stop right there! This is an office building for the employees of Emperor Group only. Everyone else is not allowed to enter.”

Zeke sneered in an icy tone, “Get out of the way. You don’t have the right to stop us.”

In response, the bodyguard chortled, “I’m the company’s security guard. I have the right to stop you even if you were in peak form, let alone now when your life force has been injured permanently.”

“You look a little familiar. Have we met before?” Zeke asked as he took a better look at the security guard.

“He used to work at Linton Group. However, he betrayed the company and switched sides, coming to work for Emperor Group instead,” Dawn bit out through clenched teeth.

Realization dawned on the former. “I see. Well then, traitors need to be punished.”

That made a grin spread on the security guard’s face. “You wanna get physical, huh? I’m more than willing to entertain you!”

He pulled out his baton and sneered, “Let’s see if you, the useless Great Marshal, will be better than me, a security guard in peak form. I must warn you though, think carefully about what you’re going to do. Your reputation will be even worse if you lose to me.”

“You’re not worthy enough for me to fight you myself. Why are you still hiding? Come out!” Zeke commanded.

What?

The security guard was bewildered by Zeke’s words.

Just then, a shadow detached from a nearby corner of the building before dashing toward the security guard like a speeding bullet. Its movements were so fast that nobody could see its face.

The figure rammed into the security guard, sending the man flying out before landing in the pond nearby.

The dark shadow did not stop moving, continuing forward and vanishing around another corner.

All this happened in a matter of seconds. Nobody had seen who it was; they only saw a black figure flash past their eyes before it was gone.
