Chapter 362

Daniel hurriedly spoke up, “My apologies, Sir, we did not mean to bother you. We’ll be leaving at once.”

He tugged on Zeke, intending on dragging the younger man away if he had to.

“Wait,” Lone Wolf commanded.

Daniel and his family were shaking in their boots. They knew the general would not let them go so easily.

Focusing his attention on Zeke specifically, Lone Wolf asked, “What did you mean earlier?”

“Exactly what I said. There’s one more Hinton family member here.” Zeke pointed at the urn cradled in Daniel’s arms.

“Oh? Then let me take a look.” With that, the general strode toward Daniel.

Aaron hurriedly explained, “Sir, I don’t think there’s a need for that. That urn belongs to a mere village woman, nothing special about her. There’s no way she was the one who saved you. She was also exiled from the Hinton family...”

Lone Wolf never faltered in his footsteps as he continued approaching Daniel.

Zeke suggested, “Dad, you should let him see the photo. Maybe it might be his savior.”

By this point, Daniel was starting to get angry at his son-in-law. What if the general saw the photo and smashed the urn in a fit of rage when he discovered it was not his savior?

How reckless of you, Zeke!

Left with no other choice, he unwrapped the suit from his mother’s urn and showed the photo to the general.

Lone Wolf took one look at it and his eyes brightened.

He took off his cloak, straightened his posture, and snapped a sharp salute. “My savior, I have finally found you! Please accept my salute!”

Lone Wolf’s men also came closer, giving salutes of their own in synchrony.

“Please accept our salutes!” their powerful voices echoed throughout Hinton Hallow.

With several hundred men in military uniforms saluting, it made for a majestic sight.

Everyone present was dumbfounded at this turn of events.

The impossible had actually happened!

The woman who had been buried with the servants and had come close to being evicted from Hinton Hallow was actually the savior of the almighty general!

Fate really was toying with them!

If the general found out how the Hinton family had badly mistreated his savior when she was alive, would he destroy them in anger?

It was not an impossibility.

Daniel’s whole body trembled with the force of his emotions. He was over the moon and surprised when he found out that his mother had been the one to save the general.

He was also incredibly nervous and wary at seeing so many military men, in particular the general, showing such respect toward his mother.

Holding on to the urn tightly with one hand, he used the other to return their salute awkwardly.

Lone Wolf gingerly took the urn from him, saying, “Who dug out my savior’s remains?”

Taking in a deep breath, Daniel eyed Aaron as he accused, “T-they forced us to exhume her.”

Lone Wolf’s gaze slowly drifted to Aaron.

At the same time, Adam and Aaron were both sweating bullets at what had happened.

Why is something as melodramatic as this happening to us? He’s gonna kill us if he finds out we bullied her in life!

Aaron was the first to recover. He hurried forward and tried to explain, “Sir, I was indeed the person who arranged for her to be exhumed. I wanted to move her to a better location as a sign of my respect.”

“Is that so?” Lone Wolf smiled thinly, “But I could have sworn I heard you say earlier that she was nothing but a common village woman and that you were going to exile her from this family graveyard.”

A cold sweat drenched Aaron’s back as he stammered out, “Sir...That is...I was mistaken...I mistook her for someone else...”

“Really?” the general questioned suspiciously.
