As he spoke, the old man turned around.
By the light of the burning flames, Zeke was able to see his face.
His heart froze for a moment.
He wondered if this old man was a ghost or a human being.
The elderly man was only skin and bones, with long hair and a beard that reached the ground. His face was lined
with wrinkles while his eyes gleamed.
When he laughed, he looked eerie and sinister.
To describe him as a demon would be an understatement.
Before Zeke could recover from his shock, the old man suddenly became agitated.
“Wait, there's a familiar aura coming from you... This is... the aura from Nameless, that weird old man! I'm sure it's
his aura!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the next instant, the strange old man jumped up, scolding loudly, “Nameless! Nameless, you old b*stard, come
out! Today, I'll finally kill you! You... Why do you have this aura? What's your relationship with him?”
Zeke was very puzzled.
The “Nameless” Old Skeleton mentioned must be the old servant, Nameless.
Nameless had crossed paths with this strange old man before, and they were sworn enemies.
Zeke asked, “What's your relationship with Nameless? Why do you hate him so much?”
Old Skeleton was mad with rage. “Huh! Why do I hate him so? He came with Pietro to exterminate hundreds of
thousands of my Atheville Netherworld branch members before forcefully confining me here. You tell me why I hate
him so much!”
Zeke was even more confused.
Netherworld? Pietro? Is he talking about Pietro, my master?
Zeke had established that Nameless was his Master Pietro's subordinate. Hence, it was logical that they acted
together.
What powerful organization is Netherworld? Why haven't I heard of it?
After some thought, he understood.
Netherworld must be the mysterious force that Nameless said lurked in the dark and controlled half of Eurasia's
resources.
It was so unexpected of him to stumble upon someone from Netherworld.
Netherworld was stealing the resources of Eurasia, and so it had to be destroyed.
Why did my master and Nameless imprison this old man here instead of executing him?
At that moment, Old Skeleton calmed down. “Young man, shall we do a trade?”
“What type of trade?” Zeke asked.
The strange old man said, “You trick Pietro and Nameless into this place, and I'll give you all the power I've
cultivated all my life.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Agreed,” Zeke replied. “You pass on all your skills to me now. After I've mastered them, I shall bring them here.”
The old man laughed, revealing a set of yellow teeth. “Your people are shrewd and cunning. I don't trust you. How
about this, you bring them here first, then I'll take you on as my disciple.”
Knowing that the old man was too experienced to be lied to, Zeke changed the subject.
“Your body is not bound by iron chains, and the stone gate at the entrance of the cave can be easily opened, so
you're not being forcefully confined here. Why would you say you were imprisoned here?”
Old Skeleton argued, “I... I was only joking. I'm a free man. They don't have the ability to imprison me.”
Zeke asked, “Why don't you leave this place, then?”
Old Skeleton was silenced.
After a while, he replied, “I'm used to this place, so I don't want to leave.”
Zeke did not believe this to be the truth.
To find out the truth, Zeke thought for a while and had an idea.
He looked at the door. “I'll be honest with you. I came with Nameless. He's standing guard outside the door now.”
