Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 7

When will I take over the Schneider family's property?

Zeke replied, Acquire all steel mills in Oakheart City, except for Lacey Hinton's.

Since Hamilton Construction no longer allows Lacey to supply steel to them, I'll cut off all the supplies

from every steel mill in Oakheart City.

Going out of town to find supplies? Then I'll acquire every steel mill across the country!

...

The next day, Zeke simply washed up and exited his room.

The sun hit just right, and a gentle breeze brushed against his face.

A coquettish figure was standing under a peach tree, surrounded by an air of melancholy.

Zeke's heart palpitated at that breathtaking sight, and he couldn't bear to disturb her.

Lacey was frowning as she was making a call, her tone filled with supplication.

“Mr. Lewis, please reconsider the collaboration. We can discuss the price again. What? What do you

mean there's nothing to discuss?”

Hanging up the phone, she dialed another number as she couldn't resign to the outcome.

“Mr. Gray, after much consideration, I agree with your acquisition of the steel mill. But could you raise

the price a little? What? You want to lower the price... Don't you think that's too much?”

Hanging up the phone again, she looked more depressed.

Only then did she notice Zeke standing at the side.

She smiled bitterly. “The last few business partners called just now to inform us that they are cutting

ties with the steel mill. I suspect Emily and Jackson are behind this. The steel mill may have to shut

down today.”

Zeke smiled. “Although you look pretty when you're depressed, it breaks my heart. Don't worry. Emily

will come and beg you to cooperate with her. Also, I'll reel in a big business for you today.”

At that, he turned around and left.

Looking at his leaving figure, Lacey was amused.

This guy is good at everything, but his boasting isn’t to be complimented.

Not long after Zeke left, a BMW suddenly stopped in front of the factory.

Emily got down from the car, mocking, “Basking in the sun now, are we? How laid back of you.”

“My company no longer needs supplies from you, so pay us back now. If you can't pay us today…

Haha! I can only trouble you to mortgage the factory to us. You can then enjoy your life in prison.”

Lacey could feel a chill wafting across her body.

I'm doomed. The factory has always been operating in debt. How am I supposed to pay them back?

Not only is the factory going to close down, but even jail time can't be spared!

...

At Schneider Group, in Evan Schneider's office.

Despite being the richest man in Oakheart City, Evan was like a servant before Zeke. He dared not

breathe or even look him in the eye.

If Zeke could easily make him the richest man in Oakheart City, he could likewise destroy him with just

a snap of his fingers.

The power of Zeke was beyond Evan’s imagination.

“Mr. Williams,” Evan said gingerly. “I've acquired every steel mill in Oakheart City as per your

instruction. I wonder what's your plan for acquiring these steel mills. Please let me know so that I can

make the arrangements.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Zeke drew in a deep breath. “Don't supply anything to the Hamilton family through these steel mills.

Also, all the steel orders from the Schneider family shall be given to Lacey Hinton from now on.”

Evan nodded hastily. “Noted, Sir.”

“Do you have any business dealings with Hamilton Construction?” Zeke asked abruptly.

“The Hamilton family handles one of our construction projects,” Evan replied. “But the project has been

overdue for two days and has yet to complete.”

In the construction industry, it was common to have a year and a half overdue, let alone two days.

“Send a lawyer's letter to the Hamilton family. If they can't finish the project today, they shall expect

disaster in prison,” Zeke said.

Evan nodded incessantly. “Yes, Sir.”

“By the way, Mr. Williams, do you have a problem with the Hamilton family? They have gotten an

invitation to your Grand Comeback Ceremony through connections. Should I cancel this family's

qualification now?”

Zeke nodded. “Yes, their admission tickets are null and void, but don't tell them just yet.”

Right then, Zeke received a call from Lacey.

“Zeke, hurry up and head back. Emily is making a scene at the factory.”

Zeke burned with anger. “She's got a death wish.”

He didn't stay at the building for long. He took the steel supply contract from the Schneider family and

fled with an advance payment of five million.

When he returned to the steel mill, the factory was in a mess.

Ten bulky men who came with Emily were smashing the steel mill apart.

Over thirty employees of the steel mill had been knocked to the ground, bruised and battered.

In a corner, Lacey and Hannah were trembling in fear.

Zeke clearly noticed that there was a palm print on Hannah's cheeks.

His eyes turned slightly red, and a gleam of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

“You trash, why did you come back?” Hannah's temper sparked when she saw Zeke.

“Look at what you've done. It's all because of you that my family ended up like this. Please, I beg you.

Stop hurting my family, will you? Get out of here. Why aren't you leaving?”

Zeke inhaled deeply, ignoring Hannah as he walked toward the ten bulky men in a murderous manner.

“From now on, this is the restricted area. Whoever crosses this line shall leave his life behind.”

Shocked, Lacey hurried up to stop him. “Zeke, stop it. You can't fight them.”

“It's only right to pay off your debts. Since you can't afford to repay my company, I can only demolish

your factory,” Emily jeered. “You want to stand up for them, Zeke? Fine, your wish is granted! Boys, get

rid of this guy!”

Emily, Lacey, and Hannah were all well aware of Zeke's strength.

For the past five years, Zeke had never gotten into a fight. Even when he was ridiculed, he would

control and suppress his indignation.

Faced with ten strong men, such a wimp would only be ravaged!

But little did they know that for the past five years, he didn't strike at will simply because he was bound

by the Nine Nations Treaty of Alliance.

Ten strong men immediately walked up to Zeke, glaring at him like ravening tigers.

Lacey was on pins and needles. “Zeke, run...”

“Lacey,” Zeke called her softly. “Remember what I told you? If anyone bullies you, I'll kill their entire

family. And if that's not enough, I'll dig their ancestral grave. That's a promise, not an oath.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he made his move.

He walked around Lacey and charged at the ten men.

Argh!

Lacey squeezed her eyes shut in despair, unable to bear witnessing the next scene.

Even if he didn't die this time, he would be crippled for life.

The sound of fists to fleshes, accompanied by a gut-wrenching voice, resonated.

However, silence engulfed the scene in just five seconds.

Lacey fluttered her eyes open to see an unbelievable sight before her.
