Great Marshals
Chapter 57
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Lily said.
What the hell is going on?
Uncle Jeremy has spent so much effort to get that steel mill! Why did he suddenly decide to return it to us?
What exactly are they doing?
Lacey kept her guard up because she was afraid they might not make it. "Why did you suddenly decide to return it to us after what you guys did to get the steel mill?"
Lily replied, "We managed to get a better understanding of the operation of the steel mill and realized that you are more suitable to manage the factory."
A weight lifted off Lacey's shoulder when she heard Lily's words.
He immediately agreed. "All right, I'll..."
However, Zeke interrupted Lacey before she could finish her sentence. "If you want to return the steel mill to us, I'm afraid it's not an easy task."
"Have you forgotten what I told you when we were in the steel mill? Kneel down and beg of us."
Lily suddenly went on a rampage. "Zeke, you better watch your mouth!"
"You should be grateful that we returned the steel mill to you! Stop forcing your luck!"
"I'll dismantle the steel mill instead of returning it to you if you keep pushing your luck!"
Zeke sneered, "If that's what you want, please move on."
Thumping!
As soon as Zeke finished his sentence, he closed the door.
Lacey and her parents are worried because of Zeke's actions.
They're willing to return the steel mill to us, but Zeke doesn't seem to want it back! I can't lose the steel mill!
Lacey scolded Zeke, "What do you want?"
Zeke replied with a smile on his face, "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll be on his knees today."
Thumping! Thumping! Thumping!
Someone knocked on the door again.
Lacey opened the door once more.
Lily stopped putting on an arrogant face. "Lacey, please allow me to apologize for what my father and I have done. We're the guilty ones."
"Can you forget the part where I have to kneel? After all, we are family...".
"A family? Why didn't this particular concept cross your mind when you were there to take over the steel mills by force?" ask Zeke.
"I'll give you one last chance. Kneel down, or we won't open the door again."
Zeke closed the door again as soon as he finished his sentence.
Lacey couldn't make a decision. He peeked at Zeke and made up his mind. "I'll listen to Zeke's instructions."
Lily had an angry expression on her face, but then recalled the fact that her father might be suffering behind bars as they spoke.
He clenched his teeth and knelt down as instructed. "Lacey, please forgive us."
Zeke told him, "It won't work if you kneel here."
"Give your ass back to the steel mill and kneel over the circle I've pulled back."
Lily could barely keep calm. "Stop forcing your luck and challenge my limits!"
Zeke sneered. "This is your last chance. If you decide to ignore it, I can't do anything either."
Thumping!
Zeke closed the door once more.
Lacey and her parents were anxious because they were hesitant.
Should we trust Zeke?
They knew Lily would not comply with their request because of how arrogant she was.
However, they were unable to make up their minds due to how determined Zeke was.
The enraged Lily, who was now covered, kicked the flower pot downstairs.
Goddamn bum! Goddamn bum!
No one has ever bullied me in such a way!
Hells! Go to hell! Each of you must suffer in hell!
Lily is on the verge of collapse whenever she recalls the fact that her father is still behind bars.
He thought about it and decided to give up on Zeke's request for now.
"Good! I will set aside my pride for today."
"I'll ask the police to chase you all down tomorrow after you take over the steel mill."
"Hmph! I'll ask two male inmates to give you special services then."
Lily made up her mind and knocked on the door once more. "Lacey, I'll do whatever you ask."
"Please hold your word and take over the steel mill tomorrow."
Zeke replied nonchalantly just as Lacey was about to open the door again. "I'll send someone to watch over you."
"Don't try anything silly. We will not fulfill our promise if you fail to kneel as requested."
