Sole Wolf had always been fearless, but his voice started shaking from fear as he said, “We just got news that the
Gentiana scabra has been stolen!”
What?
Zeke’s hand jerked slightly.
“What happened? Tell me everything!”
Sole Wolf continued, “It turned out that Bloodsworth was only faking his death! When those from the Cygnus Room
went to get rid of his body, he suddenly came to life and started killing them. He suffered multiple heavy injuries,
though, and ended up getting killed. However, when Cygnus Room started counting inventory, they realized that
one of the Gentiana scabra had disappeared! Bloodsworth must’ve created that commotion on purpose so that his
men could steal the Gentiana scabra!”
Zeke bellowed, “Look into this immediately! We must find out who the culprit is!”
Sole Wolf said, “Those from Cygnus Room reported that the second-in-command, John Davy, had disappeared
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalong with his family. They haven’t been able to contact him since.”
John Davy!
He must have been the one who stole the Gentiana scabra.
John was the second-in-command of Cygnus Room and was once bought over by Bloodsworth. He once worked for
him at Bloodsworth’s underwater headquarters.
Zeke only found out that John was a spy after he had infiltrated Bloodsworth’s underwater headquarters.
After Zeke’s silver tongue managed to convince John to tell him everything, John had joined them in bringing
Bloodsworth down.
Then, Zeke had locked John up so he could reflect on his mistakes.
To think that not only he failed to right his wrongs, but he also once again put Eurasia in danger for his own benefit
and went to the dark side.
Zeke was regretting not killing John from the very start.
“Track him down!” Zeke repeated with gritted teeth. “Find John Davy.”
Sole Wolf replied, “John Davy is an extremely smart man. The Cygnus Room is having a hard time tracking his exact
whereabouts. All they managed to figure out is that he’s heading toward the southeast borders. He might be trying
to escape from there.”
Zeke fell into deep thought. “Pike and the Bloodsworth Syndicate are most likely to be hiding in the small
southeastern countries. That’s why John is trying to escape from there. Relay my orders to place the southeast
borders on lockdown. I’ll head over there myself to search for John.”
As the situation was dire, Zeke decided to handle it himself.
If the Gentiana scabra landed in Pike’s hands and he made a full recovery, Eurasia would be in grave danger.
There was no time to waste. He had to leave right now.
They got on a subsonic aircraft and reached the southeast borders within half an hour.
The southeast borders were covered in dense forests that blocked out all sunlight.
This was probably the most secluded and untouched area within Eurasia. Ferocious beasts lived within its lush trees
which made the place extremely dangerous.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was even a myth of a man-eating plant somewhere among the trees.
Even illegal immigrants didn’t dare to step foot in these woods.
For maximum efficiency, Zeke separated the workers and made each person search one part of the forests.
Zeke put on casual clothing as well to avoid raising suspicion.
The team searched for an hour and had yet to cover even a third of the huge forest.
Not only did they return empty-handed, but some of them also even got attacked by vicious beasts and were
severely injured.
Seeing this, Zeke felt disappointed.
It has been more than an hour. John must have definitely left the country by now.
It seemed like they’d return empty-handed today.
Right as Zeke was feeling extra dejected, he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from the area in front of him.
“Help! Someone help me!”
What was that?
Zeke’s senses immediately went on high alert and he followed the voice.
Whoever it was kept calling for help, but their cries were getting weaker and weaker.
