The old man seemed nervous, as he quickly shot a look at the parrot.
In an instant, the parrot flew back to its original spot.
However, Zeke had noticed the old man’s actions. Now, he was certain, that the old man was the parrot’s owner.
It was impossible for the parrot to understand him with a mere look unless it had been with him for decades.
A hint of disappointment seeped into his heart.
He had thought that the owner of the parrot would be Pietro.
Zeke walked toward him and muttered, “Mister, you must be the owner of the parrot.”
The old man shook his head. “What parrot? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Zeke laughed.
Not everyone could lie through their teeth in his face, without so much as batting an eyelash. Especially not a mere
attendant.
This man isn’t a simple man.
Zeke turned to Jaime. “I want this old man.”

The old man thundered, “What do you want an old man for? I’m not going to come with you. My family’s been
working for the Carter sect for generations. The Carter sect will be the place I’ll remain at, until my death. I won’t
leave the Carter sect.”
Zeke uttered, “That’s not up to your decision.”
“Give up. I won’t come with you,” the old man repeated.
With that, he took a step towards the courtyard, planning to return.
However, Zeke grabbed the parrot and threatened, “If you don’t come with me, I’ll crush it.”
What the f***...
The old man was close to cursing aloud.
He’s the Great Marshal. Why is he acting like a thug?
Jaime’s brows furrowed.
He still could not understand why Zeke was adamant, about taking an attendant away.
It seemed like the attendant was no ordinary man.
He must have had some secrets with him.
Jaime swiftly interrupted, “Stop, Great Marshal. He was born into the Carter sect, and he’ll die as a man of the
Carter sect. How can you just take him away like this?”
Zeke looked at him. “Do remember that I’m ordering you, not discussing with you. He has to come with me. If you
stop me, I’ll blow up the Carter sect.”
You...
Jaime was purple with rage.
Zeke then grabbed the old man and started dragging him away.
The old man shrieked hysterically, “Sir, save me! Please let me work for the Carter sect for the rest of my life! Stop
this man!”
The expression on Jaime’s face drastically changed, and he thought of stopping Zeke several times.
However, when he thought about their hundred-year plan, he stopped himself.
It was not worth it, for him to destroy the hundred-year plan for an old man.
When the old man realized that Jaime was not going to intervene, he fell silent, with a look of disappointment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’d been hoping that Zeke and Jaime would fight.
It seems like I’ve overestimated my worth.
Zeke inquired, “What’s your name?”
The old man replied, “They call me Nameless.”
Zeke continued, “Mr. Nameless, why did you send me the message about Ares?”
Nameless answered, “I’ve told you that the parrot’s not mine. I’m not the one who’d sent you the message.”
Zeke hummed, “I didn’t say the message was sent to me with the parrot.”
The old man fell silent.
D*** it. I was too careless.
Zeke then asked, “Mr. Nameless, may I ask what is the relationship you have with my mentor, Master Pietro? I’m
sure that you know where he is right now, don’t you?”
Nameless answered nonchalantly, “I don’t even know you. Why would I know your mentor?”
Zeke smirked. “Is that so? I’m sure you’ll tell me.”
Abruptly, he picked up his speed.
