Following the wipeout of the Bloodsworth Syndicate, Pike became a general without an army.
He was nothing, compared to Lord Yamano.
Pike bowed before Lord Yamano. “It is my honor to meet you, Lord Yamano.”
“Sit down,” Lord Yamano said, gesturing to a seat beside him. “May I ask why you are here?”
Pike glanced at Ichiro Yamano and answered, “I heard that Prince Yamano has been sentenced to house arrest and
forced labor by the Eurasian courts?”
“Are you here to laugh at me?” Ichiro Yamano bellowed out.
“Of course not, my Prince,” Pike denied his statement hurriedly. “As the prince, you are the face of Japanio, so Zeke
Williams’ actions against you would be an insult to the whole of Japanio. You have to fight back!”
“Are you instigating violence?” Lord Yamano asked. “The Great Marshal is the one and only God of War, and not

“Please leave if you have nothing else to say.”
“Wait!” Pike exclaimed. “Who told you that he’d defeated me in the last battle?”
“Isn’t it true?” Lord Yamano asked. “Not only did he defeat you, rather, but he’d also gotten rid of the entire
Bloodsworth Syndicate, along with the ten other Gods of War. If that’s not a total defeat, I don’t know what is!”
“Well, it’s true that I didn’t win anything from that battle,” Pike confessed. “However, I think that it’s worthy to note
that Zeke suffered quite a big loss as well.”
“Oh?” Lord Yamano posed the question forward. “What loss?”
“Have you heard of the Frostbite Poison?” Pike asked. “I’d managed to poison Zeke Williams with it!”
The Frostbite Poison!
Lord Yamano and Ichiro Yamano glanced at each other in shock.
Pike had created the Frostbite Poison, which was recognized as one of the three most toxic poisons of the world.
Anyone poisoned by it would die a horribly slow death, as their blood would turn to ice.
Pike had once used it to poison an entire army, wiping the unfortunate army out, overnight.
They suffered terribly throughout the night, the poison freezing the blood in their veins into icicles before killing
them.
“He’s going to die for sure!” Lord Yamano exclaimed. “What do you want us to do?”
“No ordinary person can survive the effects of the Frostbite Poison,” Pike surmised. “Zeke Williams isn’t one of
them, so he might be able to pull through. Even so, he won’t be at his best for a while. It’s the perfect opportunity
to kill him!”
“Besides, I’m handicapped without the Bloodsworth Syndicate, so I’ll need you to send out two of your best warriors
to assist me, Lord Yamano!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLord Yamano sank into deep thought.
That sounds risky... What if we fail, and Zeke Williams fights back?
It’ll be the end of Japanio!
Pike knew that his plan would be met with skepticism.
“Are you fearful that I wouldn’t be able to get rid of Zeke Williams?” he asked. “The truth is, the other seven
countries involved in the Nine Nations Treaty of Alliance have agreed to send two of their strongest warriors each to
help me out. Japanio is the only nation that has yet to agree to it. It would be a shame if even the strongest warriors
from the nine nations failed to get rid of Zeke Williams, even when he wasn’t at his best.”
“Really?” Lord Yamano asked, still skeptical of Pike’s words.
Pike smiled and took out a pile of documents for the Lord to take a look at.
Lord Yamano heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the signatures of the leaders of the other seven nations.
He’s speaking the truth!
