Chapter - 91

Now that Dawn was safe and sound, Lacey proceeded to sign the contract with the Schneider family.

After signing the contract, she rushed home to check on Dawn.

When she got home, everyone was watching TV.

Lacey was eager to know what happened. “Dawnie, how did you escape from the Hamilton family?”

Dawn pointed at the television and replied, “Watch the news on TV.”

“The news?” Lacey looked at the television doubtfully.

Today, the Hamilton family from Oakheart City were suspected of stealing weapons. Their property has been confiscated, and any involved parties will be sent to a military court and shall be punished according to law. Colonel Lone Wolf personally led the team. The criminals will be brought to justice…

Lacey covered her mouth in astonishment, “Are you saying that the entire Hamilton family has been eliminated?”

After a while, she finally regained her composure.

She then realised that the whole thing wasn’t adding up.

She said in a curious tone, “That’s odd. The Hamilton family is in the real estate business. They have nothing to do with weapons, let alone stealing them. Unless they weren’t right in their heads.”

“Furthermore, the whole stealing weapons thing happened at such weird timing. I’m afraid there’s something more to this than meets the eye.”

Daniel expressed his opinion, “I personally think that the Schneider family is taking revenge against the Hamilton family.”

Lacey frowned, “A revenge plan by the Schneider family? I don’t think so. It was just an insulting bid proposal. Why would the Schneider family blow things out of proportion?”

“Besides, is the Schneider family that powerful to get Colonel Lone Wolf involved in this matter?”

Daniel said, “Rumour has it, the Schneider family from Oakheart City was just a puppet of Great Marshal.”

“By humiliating the Schneider family, Jackson is humiliating the Great Marshal as well.”

“It is a well-known fact that the Great Marshal will not be humiliated.”

“Also, Lone Wolf is the subordinate of Great Marshal. It’s highly possible that Lone Wolf was sent by him.”

Lacey was deep in thought as she made a summary. “Well, I guess the Great Marshal is being really petty then.”

Cough! Cough!

Zeke and Dawn coughed at the same time.

Lacey looked at both of them curiously, “What happened to you two?”

They quickly shook their heads, “No… Nothing.”

Dawn gave Zeke a silly smile as she felt a sense of superiority upon knowing something the others didn’t.

Suddenly, Zeke’s phone rang.

He glanced at the phone number, looking serious.

The phone call was from the colonel.

He told everyone he needed to pick up a call and went downstairs.

When he got to the car, he answered the phone and greeted, “Hello, Colonel.”

Zeke had equal status with the Colonel, so he didn’t have to talk to him formally.

A firm voice came from the other side of the phone, “Zeke, what you’ve done in the Oakheart City is quite high profile, don’t you think so?”

Zeke replied, “I don’t think I’m being high profile, especially since they’re just a second-rate family.”

The colonel said, “That isn’t what I meant.”

“What I meant is after that incident, all our enemies now know that you’re now in Oakheart City.”

“Besides, the previous ceremony was also held in Oakheart City. Our enemies would have guessed that you’re residing in Oakheart City and that you won’t be returning to the border anytime soon.”

“Our enemies are eyeing on us, and may invade our border anytime…”

“It is best if you could return to the border before it is too late.”

Zeke looked troubled as he spoke. “I’m sorry, Colonel. I’m in the middle of something back in the Oakheart City.”

The colonel laughed, “I heard about it, and I knew you wouldn’t want to come back.”

“How about this? You can join the upcoming TCM Association Forum.”

“Then I will leak out the news to let everyone knows that you’re actually attending the forum in Oakheart City, instead of residing there. Eventually, you will return to the border once the forum is finished, and our enemies won’t dare invade our border any longer.”

Zeke thought about it before he nodded, “Alright then.”

The colonel continued, “Since you’re okay with the idea, then I will proceed.”
