Chapter 1297Whipping out his phone, Zeke called Wolf’s Greed. “Wolf’s Greed, please help me investigate this guy
called Rowan Krate.”
“Yes, Sir!”
After ending the call, Zeke patted Benjamin on his shoulder and said, “The information you shared with
us is extremely important, and is of great service to Eurasia. What do you want as a reward?”
Benjamin gave Zeke a military salute. “Great Marshal, let me work for you by your side.”
To work for the Great Marshal was a soldier’s greatest honor.
Zeke nodded in agreement. “Very well.”
Benjamin was so emotional that he almost cried.
Just when Zeke investigated Rowan, the latter began to target Linton Group, which was now a well-
known conglomerate in Eurasia.
It had established subsidiaries all over Eurasia’s cities, while its headquarters was located in the central
business district of Atheville.
One fine working day, a group of soldiers in military fatigues gathered in front of the group’s
headquarters. The leader of the group was none other than Rowan Krate.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered, “Secure the whole building!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The thousand-odd soldiers barged into the building and secured the whole tower in a short time as no
one dared to stand in their way.
At the sight of the heavily armed soldiers, all the employees fled the building. They gathered at the
entrance, speculating about what was going on.
Meanwhile, Lacey was the last to know about the commotion as she was on the top floor.
When she opened the door and looked out, she was stunned.
There were about thirty soldiers who had taken over the top floor.
Just when she was wondering what was going on, her cellphone rang.
It was Dawn.
“Lacey, soldiers have taken the whole tower over and they have chased all the employees out. What’s
going on? What are we going to do?”
Lacey then realized it wasn’t only the top floor that was occupied. In fact, the whole building had been
taken over. Trying her best to stay calm, she reassured Dawn, “Don’t panic, let me see what’s going on.”
At that moment, someone that looked like a leader approached her and questioned, “Are you the
president of the company, Lacey Hinton?”
Lacey nodded. “That’s right. Who are you?”
“We are not allowed to divulge our identity. Please leave this place. We are requisitioning this building.”
“Huh?” Lacey asked in curiosity, “Who ordered this? Where is your documentation?”
The leader replied, “I’m not allowed to say. Our leader is downstairs. If you have questions, you can
speak directly with him.”
With no time to waste, Lacey hurried downstairs.
“Who is responsible for this operation?” Lacey questioned the soldiers at the entrance.
Smoking at the entrance a moment ago, Rowan approached. “I am.”
Lacey demanded, “What gives you the right to take over my building? Who are you?”
Rowan replied, “I’m from Eurasia’s Third Army Factory. Based on Eurasia’s law, I have the right to
requisite civilian buildings for our use.”
Lacey looked at Dawn. “Dawn, does Eurasia have such a law?” Dawn was the legal advisor for Linton Group.
She nodded. “There is, but military factories usually take over car or component manufacturers and
their employees. I have never heard of an office building being requisitioned before. What do you need
our building for?”
Rowan sneered, “This is a state secret. What you’re doing is inquiring about a national secret.”
“No, we aren’t.” Lacey denied immediately to prevent Rowan from trying to falsely accuse Dawn of
breaking the law.
“If you want to requisition it, then fine. We will just rent another office building. Please allow us to go
back in to collect our company documents and personal belongings.” noveldrama
