“But why?” asked Lacey curiously.

Zeke replied, “I had some people pretend to be the three of you. They are in Linton Group now, and I'm hoping the

Dulliouds will go after them. That is why all three of you must stay hidden. If the Dulliouds find out about you three

being here, the trap I laid in Linton Group will be for naught.”

Lacey frowned and asked, “Zeke, if you get someone else to pretend to be us and use them as bait, won't they be

in trouble?”

Zeke smiled. She is just as kind as she has always been. Even at a time like this, she is still worried about others.

Zeke informed, “You don't need to worry about that at all, Lacey. The person imitating you is Sole Wolf, so

everything will be fine.”

Lacey shook her head once more. “Zeke, do you really think it's okay for Sole Wolf to pretend to be me? Won't the

Dulliouds sense that something is off? Your plan won't work like that. It might even backfire and alert our enemy.”

Zeke sighed. “There is nothing I can do about that. Unfortunately, not every plan in this world is perfect, and it's not

like I can ask you to be the bait.”

“Why not?” asked Lacey. She had a straight face on as she looked at Zeke. “Why can't I be the bait? It will make

things much more believable, and the rate of success will be much higher.”

“No, that is too dangerous. I will not let the woman I love be the bait,” rejected Zeke firmly.

Patiently, Lacey tried convincing him to let her do it. “Come on, Zeke. Let me do this. I believe in you, and you will

be there to keep me safe, right? The truth is that I've always felt guilty about not being able to help, so I'm glad that

I finally have the opportunity to help you and bear the burden with you. Please? Will you let me help you just this

once?”

Lacey kept trying to convince Zeke, but he was still worried. “To me, Lacey, you are the most precious thing in the

world. Risking your life just to take the Dulliouds down... It's not worth it at all.”

Dawn shivered and teased, “Oh my gosh, that is so cheesy. I have goosebumps all over me.”

Lacey was so angry that she kicked Dawn a little.

In the end, Lacey's endless begging prompted Zeke to cave. “Okay, Lacey. We'll do it your way. Don't worry, though.

I will die before I let anything bad happen to you.”

Lacey then said, “Okay, then wait here. I'll go cook for you. It's our rule, and I'm not breaking it.”

Zeke couldn't bear to turn Lacey's kind offer down, so he nodded in agreement.

The truth, however, was that he had reached a level that was beyond a regular human's physical state. He could

actually go a week without eating or drinking anything now.

Naturally, his life expectancy had increased dramatically as well.

He didn't tell his wife any of that though, because regular citizens likely won't be able to accept him.

Soon, Lacey returned with a delicious meal.

Dawn and Nancy joined in and ate as well.

They weren't hungry, but they thought it was rather cool to eat with the famous Great Marshal.

After their meal, all of them left for Linton Group's headquarters.

On the top floor, they heard someone with a deep voice snoring away when they got close to Lacey's office.

There was no doubt that Sole Wolf was inside.

Zeke grinned in defeat. Having this idiot pretend to be Lacey is the dumbest mistake I have ever made.

Lacey used her key to open the door. Inside the room, they saw Sole Wolf snoring away as his saliva dripped all

over the desk.

Still, he was the General North, and the softest click from the door being unlocked woke him right up. It didn't even

matter that he was sleeping deeply just moments ago.

He jumped out of his seat and grabbed his weapon as he did so. The aggressive aura within him flushed out. “Who's

there?”

That powerful aura stunned both Nancy and Dawn immediately. They had an illusion. It was as though the person

standing in front of them was a demon.

Zeke replied calmly, “It's me.”

Sole Wolf woke up right away. The aggressive energy he exuded faded immediately, and the smile of a harmless

bunny hopped onto his lips. “Zeke, Lacey, you're back!”
