Chapter - 285

“Yeah, he was my student. He came to buy soy milk from me just now.” Ruby asked, feeling curious, “Why, Lacey Dace? You know him?”

Lacey breathed a sigh of relief.

Zeke was indeed Ruby’s student, and had really gone to her stall to buy soy milk just now.

“Luckily, you’re honest,” Lacey muttered to herself with a smile tugging at her mouth.

“What did you say, Lacey Dace? I didn’t hear you.”

Lacey hurriedly replied, “Oh, yeah, I know him. He’s my salesperson. By the way, what do you think of him, Aunt Ruby?”

Ruby was then instantly turned into a chatterbox, as she praised, “Zeke’s perfect in everything. He was a hardworking and diligent student back then despite his poor living conditions. He was also very popular and got along well with the other students while demonstrating exceptional leadership skills. You’re lucky to have hired him as your salesperson.”

Lacey was delighted listening to others heaping praises on her husband.

However, Ruby is quite enthusiastic about Zeke, isn’t she? It’s like she’s talking about her son-in-law.

Her attitude toward him’s nearly the same as that of my mom.

“Is this fellow really so popular among middle-aged women?” Lacey muttered under her breath.

After a short perfunctory exchange, Lacey hung up the phone.

Right after the phone was hung up, Ruby felt a little uneasy.

I shouldn’t have praised Zeke so much just now. What should I do if Lacey Dace falls in love with him and wants to steal him away from Summer?

After leaving the hospital, Zeke first made a call to Sole Wolf.

“Sole Wolf, I’m going to Riverdale District, so here’s a task for you. Get a few men to protect Lacey in secret.”

Sole Wolf vowed on the other end of the line, “Don’t worry, Zeke, I’ll dig out the eyeballs of anyone who dares to set eyes on Lacey.”

“Alright, alright, no need to be so violent,” said Zeke distastefully. “I’m taking down the underworld forces in Riverdale District. You will lead one team there to set an ambush in advance.”

Sole Wolf was overjoyed. “Haha! It’s showtime again. Don’t need to bring the team, Zeke, I can do it all alone. I don’t mind doing the extra work.”

“F*ck you,” Zeke cursed. “Aren’t you embarrassed that the almighty general has to personally deal with some hooligans? Hurry up. Get a team to set an ambush there, and be on standby.”

“Alright, I’ll get them ready right away.” Sole Wolf was disappointed.

After hanging up the phone, a vicious look flashed across Zeke’s face.

Hades, you’re going to sit by and watch the others fight, aren’t you?

Well then, I’m gonna snatch this valuable territory from you. We’ll see if you can still stay still then!

Once you rise to the bait, I’ll kill you!

In fact, Zeke alone could take down the underworld forces of Riverdale District.

He just didn’t want to do so as it was demeaning.

He then called Darren.

“Darren, gather a group of men to get ready. We’ll be taking over of the underworld forces of Riverdale District.”

Unexpectedly, Darren suddenly became nervous. “Mr. Williams, aren’t we expanding a little too quickly? The underground forces of Riverdale District are much stronger than those of Oakheart City. Besides, we haven’t even done incorporating those in Oakheart City, so if we really clash with those of Riverdale District. I’m afraid we’ll lose everything.”
