Chapter - 242

“My finger! Ouch! Do you have a metal brain or something?” Lacey scolded.

Zeke frowned at Lacey. He couldn’t believe she had just flicked the Great Marshal’s forehead.

“Mr. Williams, Ms. Hinton.” Veronica stepped in. “Please, come with me. I’ll guide you to our most prized possessions.”

“Thank you, but these here are enough…” Lacey laughed awkwardly as she pointed at the jewellery pieces Emily brought.

“No can do,” Zeke shook his head. “I’m giving you something brand-new. These second-hand pieces, especially those used by Emily, don’t suit you. They belong in the trash.”

Lacey turned terrified upon hearing what Zeke had just said. She ran to protect the rest of the jewellery. “Hey! Even if you don’t want them, you shouldn’t throw them away! You… you can trade them for something new instead.”

Zeke gave it some thought before he finally nodded. “Fine…”

In the end, Lacey managed to exchange them for a diamond necklace Veronica suggested.

When the appraiser and sale representatives saw the necklace, their jaws dropped to the floor.

The necklace Lacey chose was the ‘Desert Eagle’. It was the shop’s most prized possession, something that was supposedly only for display.

Many royalties had requested to borrow the Desert Eagle in the past, but Tasha had never allowed it.

One could say that the Desert Eagle was the face of Royal Jewelry; it was priceless.

But now, Veronica was exchanging the diamond necklace for a bunch of ‘scraps’. It wasn’t too much to say that Lacey basically got the necklace for free.

It just showed how important friends Zeke and Lacey were to the owner.

“Thank God Mr. Williams is happy with the gift…” Veronica sighed. “Or else… I have no idea what Ms. Hensen will do to me.”

After walking out of the jewellery shop, Zeke finally opened his mouth and asked carefully. “Lacey, it’s quite late. Why don’t we head to the hotel?”

“You pervert! How can you think of that when the sun is still high up?” Lacey rolled her eyes. “Why don’t you head to the hotel and get us a room first? I have to head to our new building and look over the renovation plan. I can’t sit still until everything is finalized.”

“Fine… I’ll wait for you at the Grand Millenium…Don’t be late.” Zeke sighed.

Darren was presented with a problem at the construction site for Love in a Fallen City.

Zeke had asked him to conquer the underworld of Oakheart City, but Darren didn’t possess the manpower to complete the job.

Darren thought of recruiting other groups to join him, but only a few responded.

Just as Darren was pondering what to do next, a blonde man charged into his office.

“Mr. Collins! We’re doomed! T-Rex’s here with over two hundred people!”

“F**k? Isn’t T-Rex dead? Gather everyone we can! We have to protect this place!” Darren jumped out of his chair.

“B-but, all of our people are out recruiting others… We only have five people here…”

“Shit! Call everyone back! Where’s Sole Wolf? Call him here to help us too!”

Since Darren had witnessed Sole Wolf taking on hundreds of people on his own, he had become an indispensable comrade.
