Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 37

Mr. Zachary did not bother replying Hannah. Instead, he took out the ticket book and started writing.

Zeke suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Zachary, I feel that the fault lies in the fire hydrant, not in us.”

Pfft!

Mr. Zachary was amused by Zeke. “The fault is with the fire hydrant? What's wrong with it?”

The Hinton family burst out in laughter.

Zeke' words made no sense at all.

If word got out about this scene, all the neighbours would surely have good laugh.

Zeke casually brought out two cigars, giving one each to Daniel and Mr. Zachary.

Mr. Zachary was not prepared to accept a cigar.

However, when he caught a glimpse of the label on the cigar, his eyes lit up. He took it respectfully and

studied the label carefully.

Zeke said, “The set-up of this fire hydrant is very inefficient. If there's a fire, it will not be of much use. I

suggest moving it eighty meters to the north.”

Mr. Zachary did not respond. He was too engrossed with the cigar and had not heard Zeke's words.

Lacey sighed in disappointment. “Uncle Zachary, please hurry up with the ticket. We're in a hurry to go

out for lunch.”

Lacey was beginning to worry less about money. One thousand did not bother her much.

Mr. Zachary finally kept the cigar carefully and saluted Zeke military style.

“Yes, this comrade is right. The fire hydrant was in the wrong position. I shall have the hydrant moved

in the afternoon.”

“Yeah, Old Hinton, once the hydrant is removed, this place will be vacant. You can use it as your

personal car park.”

What?

Lacey and her parents were shocked.

It really is our fault, but Mr. Zachary has just agreed that the fire hydrant's in the wrong place...

Is it really because of just one word from Zeke?

Furthermore, Mr. Zachary has gone the extra mile, taking the initiative to offer the vacated space as a

personal car park for them.

This change in his attitude is just too quick to be true.

Zeke smiled. “Father, mother, Lacey, let's get into the car.”

“Oh, yes!” The Hinton family snapped back to reality, quickly turning around to get into the car and

leave.

Mr. Zachary immediately took out his walkie talkie. “Entrance security take note, entrance security take

note, immediately let PTA121 through. In future, including this time round, let them come in and go

without checking their documents.”

After he had put away the walkie talkie, he brought out the cigar again.

He was so emotional that both his hands shook.

It was no ordinary cigar. It was one that had been issued by Zhongnanhai.

It was not available even to personnel at colonel levels.

This young man must hold a position high up in Zhongnanhai or at the very least know people of very

high positions. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

His status must be highly respected.

“Who would think that a tiny remote community like ours could be the residence of such a big god? In

future, the Hinton family will be served well!”

In the car, Daniel was full of pride. “The parking problem is finally solved. We don't have to park far

away anymore.”

Hannah heaved a sigh of relief. “The most important thing is that we've saved a thousand in fines.”

Lacey, however, was not amused.

My parents' way of thinking small will never be changed.

“Dad, mom, the parking lot and the fine are insignificant. The most important thing's Uncle Zachary's

attitude toward us. Why did it change so fast and so suddenly?”

When she pointed this out, Daniel and Hannah realized that they had missed the most important point

in the encounter that had just taken place.

They both turned their gaze to Zeke.

“Zeke, mind telling us what that was all about? I get the feeling that Mr. Zachary was in awe of you.”

Zeke smiled sheepishly. “Father, mother, do not be too surprised. This is just the tip of the iceberg

where my power is concerned. In future, you may need to adjust to being higher above normal people

and being revered by many.”

Lacey gently pressed her finger on Zeke's forehead, “Just look at you. You've only handled a security

guard. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it.”

Daniel and Hannah both laughed.

That's true. Mr. Zachary is just a security guard, it's nothing to be alarmed about.

Very quickly, Zeke drove them to the Grand Millennium Hotel.

It was the most luxurious hotel in Oakheart City; a five-star one.

Hannah was anxious as she asked, “Zeke, you aren't giving us a treat here, are you? I heard that one

meal here costs at least one hundred thousand.”

Daniel added, “I also heard that this hotel only serves members. Being wealthy alone isn't enough.

Even the rich may not enter unless they're members or invited by members.”

Lacey held Zeke's hand to prevent him from getting down the car. “Let's go to another restaurant. This

isn't a place for people like us.”

Zeke said calmly. “This is the first time I'm inviting my parents to a meal; how can I settle for less? I've

already booked a table here. Let's get down.”

The Hinton family were stubborn, but they were no match for Zeke's persuasive powers. They got

down from the car together.

When we can't get it, it would be so embarrassing. Oh, well, let it be. There won't be any friends or

family members to witness our shame.

This Zeke has got swollen-headed after handling a security chief.

This is a good opportunity to cut him down to size.

They were at the door when someone called out to them.

“Daniel, Hannah! Hello there. Fancy meeting you both here too.”
