Chapter 1398

Many people immediately leapt to Emily’s defense and began criticizing Zeke.

“I certainly didn’t expect the Great Marshal to be someone like that.”

“And to think that I looked up to him in the past. Unfortunately, it looks like he isn’t even fit to be called a man.”

“Tons of young people in Eurasia look up to him. Every action he makes will have a great influence on the young of Eurasia and that affects the future of Eurasia.”

“How can such a person deserve the title of Great Marshal?”

“That’s right! I strongly suggest that we revoke Zeke Williams’ title of Great Marshal.”

These naysayers had been planted into the crowd by Ares beforehand.

After seeing those photos and hearing what those naysayers had to say; everybody including the audience before their television screens had fallen for what Emily had claimed.

All of a sudden, nearly the entire audience had turned against Zeke Williams as they began voicing their displeasure.

Ares was infuriated as well. “I certainly didn’t expect the Great Marshal to be someone like that.”

“If I had known this, I would never have given him my daughter’s hand in marriage no matter what.”

“He doesn’t deserve the title of Great Marshal.”

“As Ares, I hereby strongly suggest that Zeke Williams be revoked of his title as Great Marshal.”

Even Zeke’s own father-in-law, Ares, had denounced him.

Doubts about Zeke’s true colors began forming in the minds of the people.

All of a sudden, this ‘Revoke the Great Marshal’ sentiment had spread all over the country.

It even held the top spot among the hot topics on various search engines.

The higher one was, the harder his fall would be. The Great Marshal was in for a really tough time.

This controversy was inevitably going to spark a bloodbath.

Linton Group.

Zeke, Lacey, Dawn and Nancy were watching the live telecast on television as well.

As they watched the events unfold, they immediately hit the roof.

They all knew what really happened then.

Back then, Emily had been the one who dumped Zeke because she felt that he was too poor.

Furthermore, she did all kinds of terrible things to him and even backed him into corners countless times.

Yet, she had twisted the truth and blamed it on Zeke instead.

What a shameless woman.

Dawn slapped the table in front of her furiously. “A leopard never changes its spots. I knew something like this was bound to happen.”

“What were you guys thinking back then?” Nancy asked, “Why did you spare her?”

“If I had been there, I wouldn’t have spared her. And I certainly wouldn’t have allowed something like this to happen.”

Lacey’s eyes began to redden. “Ugh, this is all my fault. I was too softhearted.”

“Zeke, I’m so sorry. If it hadn’t been for me, things wouldn’t have gotten into this mess.”

Zeke wiped the tears off her cheeks endearingly. “Don’t worry, Lacey. Emily is nothing but an insect to me. No matter how hard she tries, she will never be able to harm me at all.”

“Zeke,” Dawn asked curiously, “You’ve got a way to prove your innocence?”

He nodded his head. “Of course.”

Lacey heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank god.”

“Zeke, you should get to work on it immediately.”

“Otherwise, if this were to drag on, this ‘playboy’ persona will get stuck in the people’s minds. That would certainly complicate matters further.”

Zeke nodded his head. “Hmm, don’t worry. I’ll make the necessary arrangements right away.”

Just then, Zeke’s phone started ringing.

The Colonel had personally given him a call.

Any call from the Colonel had an SSS classification.

He certainly couldn’t take the call in front of the girls.

So, he got to his feet and went downstairs then got into the car before taking the call.

“How may I help you, Colonel?” Zeke asked.

The Colonel’s voice sounded really anxious. “There’s an urgent national level mission, Zeke.”

“What is it about?” Zeke immediately sat upright and started listening closely.

National level missions were a matter of National Security.

He could not afford to mishear even a word.

“The thirty-six islands in the Southern Archipelago have been occupied by the Lundrian Army,” the Colonel revealed.

“Our land is being devoured as we speak. We have to take it back immediately.”
