“Please, get up!” Lacey quickly stopped Benjamin. “Dawn and I are like family. You don’t have to do this.”

“She’s right, Ben,” Dawn agreed. “Lacey is like a sister to me.”

Yet, Benjamin still addressed Lacey in a respectful manner, This was all because it was the principle of being a

soldier.

Since Dawn and Lacey could not do anything about it, they decided to let it be.

As they were all seated, Benjamin began to try to comfort Lacey. “Ma’am, you don’t have to worry even if the

marshal has lost his life force. So, be it. Billions of Eurasian soldiers will protect him and your safety.”

Both Lacey and Dawn were shocked by the revelation.

“Wait, are you saying that Zeke has lost his power? Are you sure?” Lacey asked.

“Could it be that you have no idea about it?” Benjamin sounded surprised.

Since the government had yet to announce of the incident to the public yet, news about the Great Marshal losing

his life force was limited to the military circle. Most citizens had no idea about it.

Lacey took a deep breath and sighed, “Maybe, this isn’t a bad thing for both Zeke and I. He has been shouldering

the weight of maintaining the peace alone for a long time. It’s time for him to rest. He’ll have more time to spend

with his daughter now.”

Dawn felt a sense of relief upon hearing Lacey’s response since she was worried that Lacey would feel down by the

news.

The seemingly peaceful lunch was actually filled with danger, as a sniper was aiming at Benjamin, from the building

across the hotel.

“Sir, I’ve locked the target, my guy, from going to Colonel Castaneda. Permission to take the shot?” the sniper

asked over his intercom.

After a moment of silence, Connor finally responded. “Hold your position. Zeke’s wife and daughter are there as

well, and they may get caught in the crossfire. We must never bring harm to our target’s family members.”

“Sir!”

Lacey and the Castanedas finished their lunch in an hour.

Lacey took Missy back to Linton Group, while Dawn took her brother back to his accommodation. Since Benjamin

was slightly drunk, he could not drive.

As their car stopped at a crossroad, two bullets suddenly struck its engine.

Smoke immediately escaped from the bonnet and Benjamin immediately recognized that they were in danger. He

swiftly shielded his sister as he opened the door, rolling the both of them out of the car.

Benjamin’s experience told him that they had to move away from the car as far as possible, in case the car

exploded.

Dawn was completely petrified and yelled, “Ben, what’s happening?”

Realizing that they had to run, Benjamin opened the manhole cover beside them, pushing Dawn down into the

sewer.

Just as Benjamin was about to jump down, a bullet struck his leg. The excruciating pain made him yell.

“Ben!” Dawn cried out. “Hurry up and get down here!”

Benjamin tried to take a step forward, but a bullet landed right before him.

Left with no other option, Benjamin tried to duck into a nearby building.

Yet, another bullet had landed right beside him, telling him not to move.

The passersby had now all took cover in buildings. The usually crowded street was now empty.

Only Benjamin remained on the street, lying on the floor and breathing heavily.

“Ben! Hold on! I... I’ll call Zeke right away! He’ll come and save you!” Dawn sobbed.
