Chapter 1128

Ares got really worried. He started cursing silently, Shit, this person’s skills are on par with me!

It was obvious he couldn’t just fight with this person if he wanted to win.

Even if he won, it would take up too much time. By then, reinforcements would’ve arrived.

Without hesitation, he took out his Blade of Ares and barreled toward his opponent.

His opponent was indeed afraid and hurriedly avoided his attack.

Ares grabbed the chance and escaped at once.

The cell guards were about to chase after him but the man in black stopped them.

“There’s no need to go after him. Guard the prisoners.”

“Yes, Sir!” the guards replied respectfully.

Of course, they knew the man in black was the Great Marshal.

Right then, Sole Wolf caught up to them.

“Zeke, where is that old b*****d? Did he escape?”

Zeke nodded. “Yes, I let him escape deliberately.”

“Why though?” Sole Wolf asked curiously.

“I can confirm he’s an impersonator based on how he held the Blade of Ares. He must’ve locked up the real Ares somewhere.”

“We need to use him to find the real Ares. We have to play the long game, get it?” replied Zeke.

Sole Wolf nodded as he was lost in thought. “Damn it, he must be truly strong to be able to take down the real Ares. We need to find out his real identity.”

Zeke commanded, “Send someone to keep an eye on the Thisletons. Any unusual behavior might serve as a new clue for us to find the real Ares.”

Sole Wolf replied, “Got it.”

Meanwhile, Ares had successfully escaped and was heading home.

The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that the man in black was none other than the Great Marshal!

The Great Marshal is stronger than me, so he could’ve captured me in no time. But why did he release me?

There’s only one answer. He must’ve suspected I’m not the real Ares!

He released me so he could use me to figure out where the real Ares is!

Ares panicked at once because he knew he would be exposed soon since the Great Marshal was already suspecting his identity.

What should I do know?

Nevertheless, after panicking briefly, he calmed down quickly.

This might be a huge risk, but it was also a great opportunity.

Coming to think of it, he could use the ‘risk’ to kill the Great Marshal!

He got really excited, then he took out his phone and made a phone call.

“Hello? Set up a trap for the next few days. I’ll lead the Great Marshal to you, and we’ll kill him together!”

A hoarse voice came from the other end. “Got it!”

After Ares hung up, he summoned his butler. “Go to the military base and bail Lilith out. I’ll inform them beforehand.”

The butler nodded and left to carry out his order.

Lilith was locked up because she tried to sabotage a military officer’s wedding, so Ares could bail her out easily using his influence.

In less than two hours, Lilith returned to Thisleton Manor.

On the way back home, the butler had already explained everything to her, so she knew she had ruined Ares’ plan to assassinate the Great Marshal.

Her heart was full of remorse and fear as she thought, Ares won’t let me off easily this time.

The moment Lilith saw Ares, she got on her knees and apologized.

They might be husband and wife in name, but Ares had always treated Lilith like a servant.

If she offended Ares and pissed him off, he might even kill her on the spot.

But to Lilith’s surprise, Ares didn’t blame her.

Instead, he told her calmly, “Get up. I won’t blame you for this.”

Lilith thanked him and rose to her feet.

Ares inquired, “Do you want to take revenge?”
