Alfred sighed and argued, “He's the only suspect since no one else was around! Great Marshal, you don't have to go
soft on him merely because he's my grandson! If he's truly the murderer, I won't hesitate to take him out myself!”
It was then Zeke found out the young soldier in front of him was Alfred's grandson. He reassured Alfred, “Actually, I
wasn't even aware this young man over here is your grandson until a few seconds ago. He stands nothing to gain
from Jackson's death. If he was the murderer, why would he stand around with the weapon? Most importantly,
there's a hint of negative energy around here. I think it's the doing of someone from Netherworld again.”
Alfred asked his grandson, “Have you seen anyone from Netherworld?”
“I-I'm not sure because I think I fell asleep—”
“You're just a good-for-nothing and a disgrace to Azure Dragon! How can you fall asleep when you were assigned
such an important job? I want you to get out of my sight at once!”

consciousness, he was dead!”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Just then, Tiger Lord appeared on the summit and roared at Zeke. It seemed to be saying it knew who the
murderer was.
“Tiger Lord, can you please tell us who the murderer is?” Zeke asked.
Alfred and the young soldier were on pins and needles as Tiger Lord approached the soldier and sniffed him to
verify its speculation.
Tiger Lord inched away from the soldier and returned to Zeke's side, smacking the ground while roaring.
Zeke questioned with a frown, “Are you trying to tell me the murderer is beneath here?”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Tiger Lord shook its head and patted the ground once more. A few seconds later, Zeke found out Tiger Lord had its
paw on a shadow instead of the ground.
“Are you indicating something's wrong with the shadow?”
Zeke lost himself in his thoughts as Tiger Lord nodded.
“Could it be the legendary Shadow Hitman? No wonder there's a hint of negative energy when no one's around! I'm
sure we're talking about a Shadow Hitman!”
A few seconds later, Zeke asked, “Tiger Lord, can you detect the scent of the Shadow Hitman? If that's the case,
can you pinpoint its current location?”
Tiger Lord nodded in an arrogant manner and started sniffing to pinpoint the exact whereabouts of their target.
A few minutes later, Tiger Lord rushed to a spot and roared at the top of its lungs. Zeke knew the one at fault was
currently on the run in the direction of Tiger Lord's roar.

things here, I'll join you!”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Tiger Lord returned to its cave instead of heading out as instructed. It was evident the arrogant tiger had no
intention to take Zeke's instructions seriously.
Zeke knew the one leading the beasts would never listen to him. Instead of wasting his time with Tiger Lord, he
asked, “Sole Wolf, can you take him with you and go after the murderer?”
Sole Wolf glared at Tiger Lord and yelled, “Come with me!”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Once Tiger Lord made itself clear it was against the idea, Sole Wolf warned while unbuckling his belt, “Are you
trying to defy me? I'll repeat myself one last time! Are you coming with me or not?”
He cracked his belt as he spoke.
Tiger Lord was utterly terrified at the man's belt since Sole Wolf had made use of his belt to tame it. Instead of
making a fuss, Tiger Lord agreed to tag along with Sole Wolf and rushed out there shortly after Sole Wolf took a
seat on its back.
