Chapter 17
“Impossible! I got them through the official channel! There's no way they’re fakes!” Jackson exclaimed.
“I'm not repeating myself. Leave!” the guard warned.
“Wait? What's happening?” Lacey, whose eyes never left her parents, panicked. “They can't get in?
Zeke... Did you really guess it right?”
“I wasn't guessing,” Zeke said as he pulled Lacey towards the gate. “Come on, that Jackson brat is
only going to drag your parents down with him.”
Jackson continued to struggle at the gate. “There must be a mistake! Do you think you can shoulder
the consequences of wasting my time?”
The guard smiled coldly as he threw the tickets into the trash and snapped his fingers.
A dozen guards surrounded the three people with guns pointing at their heads in an instant. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Consequences? You'll have to explain the fake tickets first. Do you know that forging these tickets
warrants you a death sentence?”
Reality struck the three of them instantly as they realized they were about to be killed.
“W-wait!” Jackson yelled as he pointed at Daniel and his wife. “I-it's them! They told me they got their
hands on the tickets and asked me to join them! I'm innocent!”
The Hinton couple couldn't believe their ears as they stared at Jackson angrily. This young man is using us to shield himself.
“Y-you ba****d! You tricked us!” Hannah roared.
Lacey witnessed the whole incident and cursed Jackson. She quickly ran to her parents and said,
“Wait! I can prove their innocence! The tickets belonged to that man over there!”
“This is their daughter! She's just covering for them!” Jackson laughed hysterically.
“Funny. It's their honor to have us here. We don't need no tickets,” Zeke suddenly said.
“What? Are you humiliating the Great Marshal? Apprehend them!” Jackson yelled.
Lacey and her parents turned pale. They couldn't believe Zeke was still putting up with his act.
But the reaction from the guards shook the whole crowd.
The guard saluted Zeke and said, “Mr. Williams, Ms. Hinton. I apologize for the commotion! Please,
proceed through the gate.”
Zeke turned to look at Daniel and Hannah. “They're with me as well.”
The guard then saluted towards the older couple. “Sir, ma'am, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Please, you may proceed.”
The crowd stared at Zeke and the Hintons so hard; their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
Not only did the guard forgive Zeke for his remark, but Zeke and his partners were able to pass through
without a single ticket.
All the crowd could think of was Zeke's true identity.
“Come on, let's go,” Zeke smiled.
The Hinton family followed Zeke through the gate, feeling dumbfounded.
The guard then turned to look at Jackson and ordered, “Take him and wait for further instruction.”
Jackson could only stare at the guard blankly as he wet his pants.
“W-wait... I'm innocent... You can't...”
Yet, before Jackson could oppose further, the guard slapped him.
The guard stared at Jackson angrily and scolded the man internally.
Heck! Even if you’re innocent, there's nothing you can do when you have angered the Great Marshal. If he orders you to die, you will have to die.
