“She’s not doing so well,” Sole Wolf reported. “Emily Clemons is now in power, and she calls herself the Lady of the

Great Marshal. She had shut down New Linton Group and even seized the land on which its building sits. I’ve been

following your orders by keeping watch from a distance; I didn’t help her at all on my own accord.”

A fresh swell of rage rose in Zeke.

“That woman sure is nasty as always! We shall take this opportunity to eradicate this threat once and for all. Solo,

you did the right thing by not stepping in to help.”

Zeke wasn’t preparing to beat them at their own game. Until he managed to lure out the hidden sects of Mount

Final through the fake Ares and Julian, he wouldn’t stand in the way of their plans.

“What are you going to do next?” Sole Wolf asked.

“Recuperate in the Cygnus Room first,” Zeke said briefly. “The King shall return in three days!”

“Got it!” Sole Wolf said.

Three days later, the building opposite New Linton Group was gay with lanterns and decorations, and the beating of

gongs and drums rang up to the skies. It was a festive occasion.

The building across the street had been taken over by Emily to serve as the headquarters of Emperor’s Residence.

Compared to the opposite side, New Linton Group was deserted.

There was not a single person in sight in that monumental building; rather, countless excavators and demolition

machines had surrounded it.

If Lacey refused to sell the building to Emily for twenty million, Emily would mobilize these machines to demolish the

building.

Lacey, Dawn, and Nancy stood at the door of New Linton Group observing the fiery festivities across the street.

They were disheartened.

A strong sense of defeat made them look up.

“Lacey, haven’t you been able to get in touch with Zeke?” Dawn asked.

Lacey shook her head.

“Are you really set on tearing down this building?” Nancy asked, “We won’t get a single cent if the building is

demolished. But if we sell it to Emily, we can still get twenty million... Why do we have to make things even more

difficult for ourselves?”

Lacey smiled bitterly. “You’re too naïve, Nancy. Do you think Emily would gladly give us twenty million? She will

definitely find ways to bail out.”

Nancy nodded thoughtfully. “I guess I’ve overestimated Emily.”

“Let’s just tear it down and forget about it, then. If we can’t keep this building, Emily mustn’t lay a finger on it,

either.”

“Lacey, what’s going on here?” a breathy voice of an elderly person sounded.

Lacey’s parents, Daniel and Hannah, came by.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Lacey explained sheepishly with a light blush on her face. “Mom, Dad, what brings you here?”

“An unfamiliar caller called us and said that something had happened to New Linton Group, so we came over to

have a look,” Daniel said.

Lacey’s expression changed.

Damn it! It must be Emily who called them.

“Lacey, how come there are so many excavators and bulldozers here?” another familiar voice drifted to Lacey’s

ears.

They were Zeke’s parents, Faith and Diego.

“Mom, Dad, what are you guys doing here?” Lacey asked in a fluster.

“The senior executive in charge of human resources told us that something has cropped up with Linton Group, so

we came to see what’s going on,” Faith answered.

The senior executive in charge of human resources has long since jumped ship to Emperor’s Residence.

Emily is indeed behind all this!

Lacey had intended to hide it from the elders, lest they worry.

But little did she expect Emily to alarm them.

Just as Lacey was racking her brain about how to explain to them, Emily was seen walking out from the opposite

building, running all the way to Lacey.

“You’re all here. Where’s Zeke? How come I didn’t see him?”
