Mr. Collins was also overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
He knew Zeke’s identity as a King Class warrior.
As a King Class warrior, the magnitude of damage he could cause was much stronger than that of a bomb.
A murderous glint flashed through Zeke’s eyes as he approached Julian Thisleton.
“You lured me here, and the assassins took the opportunity to kill me. One of them stopped Mr. Collins, and the
other attempted to finish me off. It was as if the assassins knew their responsibilities. I suspect that this is a
scheme. Julian, are you trying to assassinate me, the Great Marshal?”
Julian shook his head right away, “Watch your words. I... I have no idea who those assassins are. It’s all just a
coincidence.”
Slap!
Zeke slapped Julian across the face, causing him to fall from his wheelchair, “You better pray that I don’t find any
evidence against you. Or else, you’ll be punished under military law. And anyone who tries to mess with Linton
Group, I’ll show no mercy. Let’s go, Mr. Collins.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Collins picked up his pace and followed Zeke.
Zeke asked, “Where’s the female assassin?”
Mr. Collins sighed, “Sorry, Sir. She managed to escape.”
Zeke was disappointed to hear that. That assassin named Luna might have learned the third stance of the Seven
Star Tiger Punch.
Zeke believed he could take his skills to the Ultimate Class if he could learn the third stance of the Seven Stars of
the Tiger.
Though she had escaped, Zeke had no intention of giving up just yet. By hook or by crook, he would hunt Luna
down.
Moreover, Luna might also know of his master’s whereabouts.
They got downstairs and saw Lacey pacing around like a cat on a hot tin roof.
She was relieved after seeing Zeke appear before her eyes in one piece, “I’m glad you’re fine. I was almost scared
to death just now.”
Zeke comforted her, “Don’t you know that I have nine lives? I won’t die so easily.”
Lacey rolled her eyes, but that action still looked as gorgeous as ever.
“Stop blowing your own trumpet. If you hadn’t arranged the snipers in secret...” As she spoke, Lacey’s eyes started
to turn red with tears.
Mr. Collins looked confused.
Snipers? What snipers?
...
Meanwhile, Julian returned feeling absolutely defeated.
The distinct slap marks on his cheeks were evidence of the humiliation he had suffered.
Julian merely kept his head low as he faces Ares. He was too ashamed.
He told Ares everything that had happened, and his words throbbed in Ares like a heartbeat.
Solis, one of the Four Divinities from Eurasia, was of the Archduke class!
Yet, Zeke managed to turn him into a cripple. The place where the battle took place was in a hot mess as if it had
experienced an explosion.
How did Zeke do it? Didn’t the foundation of his martial arts got severed?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAres asked, “Julian Thisleton, what exactly happened there?”
Julian was stunned for a moment.
His father had always called him Julian, this time, he called him by his full name.
However, he did not let that bother him and explained with a sigh, “Father, I didn’t witness anything that happened
downstairs, but I suspect the rumor about him losing the foundation of his martial art is not real.”
Ares’s face turned solemn, “It’s unlikely for him to cause such disastrous damage even when he was in his prime.
Unless... he has achieved King Class? That’s the most reasonable explanation I can think of.”
The thought of Zeke achieving King Class caused the color to drain out of their faces right away.
One of Julian’s men said, “Boss, I have something to say, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate.”
“Tell me,” Julian gave him the permission.
His man continued, “During the incident, I’ve been guarding the entrance, as per your instruction. I heard Lacey
said that Zeke was able to stay alive all because of the sniper he had arranged in advance.”
Ares and Julian were enlightened, and they were relieved to hear that.
