Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 36

Hannah became very emotional. She said, “Daniel, all of your life, you have suffered quietly in the face of oppression. Today, you've finally mustered up your courage for your daughter.”

Daniel's honest face was all smiles.

“Father, mother, rest assured,” Zeke said sincerely. “From now on, I'll be the pillar of our family. Even if the worst challenges should come upon us, I'll protect our family. I've said I'll make Lacey the richest person in Oakheart City. Who's the Hamilton family? Why should we even pay heed to them?”

Lacey said angrily, “Which family are you part of? I haven't agreed to it yet. Let me tell you this. Unless you stop this habit of telling tall tales, I'm not going to marry you.”

Daniel and Hannah were caught between tears and laughter.

This son-in-law of theirs could certainly tell tall tales that were unique and refreshing.

Even to the extent of being the wealthiest in Oakheart City!

Zeke laughed helplessly.

The most important tie between two people was none other than faith!

Lacey, father and mother, you can be assured.

The moment you accepted me, I've already made up my mind to get rid of all obstacles and raise you high above the ordinary!

...

A Land Rover moved slowly onto the Winrood River bridge and stopped there.

The driver turned out to be Darren Collins.

In the back seat were The Fearsome Foursome.

Of course, they were cold and stiff.

Looking at the rushing water beneath the bridge, Darren Collins started to wail loudly.

More than once, he had fantasized about death but now really facing it, he broke down, feeling fearful.

He was overwhelmed with the feeling of remorse.

Nonetheless, it was too late for regret.

The Great Marshal's command was more fearful than the lord of the underworld, Hades' record book of life and death.

For the sake of the older folks and the young children in his own family, he had to sacrifice his own life.

Quietly, he calmed his own emotions and started the car. He then drove right into the Winrood River.

On the bank of the river, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, Lone Wolf looked at the surface of the river.

After the huge splash had subsided, he pressed the button on the walkie talkie, “Zayne, time to work.”

...

For Zeke, today was a day worth celebrating.

This was because Daniel and Hannah had finally accepted him.

Zeke decided to take the old couple to a high-end restaurant for a meal.

On one hand, it was regarded as a celebration. On the other hand, he must gradually show his true identity to the two elders.

He had to slowly show them he was the Great Marshal.

Lacey raised both hands in agreement when Zeke's suggested eating out.

“I agree, I agree. It's to celebrate my taking down of a few factories.”

Daniel and Hannah were agreeable to the idea too.

The family of four went downstairs.

When they reached the ground floor, Daniel suddenly seemed alarmed. “Go back, let's head back first...”

However, the moment he turned around, a voice called out, “Daniel, stop right there!”

Disappointed, Daniel sighed and stopped in his tracks.

It was the security captain of the community property who was calling to him.

Daniel Hinton greeted him with a smile. “Mr. Zachary, what a coincidence. Are you looking for me?”

Mr. Zachary was rather displeased. “Hinton, you tell me why I would want to see you.”

Daniel Hinton felt guilty as he smiled, feeling rather embarrassed.

Zeke frowned, “Mr. Zachary, what's the matter?”

Mr. Zachary spoke, “What else? I've said many times to not park your cars in front of the fire hydrant. You just don't seem to follow my instructions.”

Daniel Hinton quickly offered a cigarette to Mr. Zachary. “I'm truly sorry, Mr. Zachary. I was in a hurry today. I didn't notice the fire hydrant. I won't do it again, I promise.”

Mr. Zachary looked disdainfully at the cigarette Daniel Hinton offered. He didn't accept it.

Obviously, he did not think much of this cheap cigarette.

He replied coldly, “If an apology is of any use, everyone in our community would be parking here. We go by the book. A one-thousand fine. Quickly, cough up the money.”

Oh!

Hannah felt regretful.

One thousand would be enough to pay for groceries for the whole family for one month.

It was regretful that such a considerable amount had to be paid for such a small mistake.

Hannah begged, “Mr. Zachary, please overlook this small mistake this time. The next time, if Daniel repeats this mistake, I'll break his leg. As for today's fine, let's just forget it.”
