Zeke had met with him a few times before, so they were acquaintances. “Do you admit to the crimes you have
committed, you old git?” Zeke insulted him.
The young monks were annoyed by Zeke's insult to Stephen. After all, Stephen, who was also known to them as
Master Banchen, was the very being they looked up to. He was their leader and very much godlike in their eyes. He
had more than ten million worshippers, but Zeke called him an old git in front of everyone.
More importantly, Stephen didn't even snap back or voice any dissatisfaction. They did not know how they should
feel after seeing that spectacle.
Stephen smiled bitterly. “Amitabha. I have to correct you, Great Marshal. I have only done nothing but my job. I've
never broken any laws, nor have I committed any crimes.”
Zeke threw the old monk's and Stanley's corpses to Stephen. “You're working with these guys, aren't you? They
have committed grave crimes and have been punished with death. Since you're their accomplice, you too must die.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd now you led these monks here to surround me, attempting to avenge these criminals. That has only made your
crime worse.”
Stephen bowed and explained himself, “This is a misunderstanding, Great Marshal. I am not here to avenge them.
On the contrary, I am here to arrest them. To tell you the truth, these criminals are traitors of the belief, and we
have been hunting them down for many years. However, they have eluded us for a long time, and we failed to
locate them no matter how we tried. This morning, I found that someone was stealing our faith energy, so I came
here as soon as possible to track the culprit down. I've now realized that it was their doings. Thank you for ridding
us of these traitors.”
“Are you telling the truth?” Zeke asked.
Stephen nodded. “On the name of the Buddha. I never lie.”
Zeke nodded. “For your sake, you better don't. I will get to the bottom of this. If I find out that you're lying, I will
make sure you and your beliefs are eradicated.”
Stephen replied, “I fear nothing. You may look into this matter as much as you wish, Great Marshal.”
Zeke said, “I need you to do something for me. Hand these corpses over to the Cygnus Room. Tell the people there
to destroy them.”
Stephen suggested, “Why don't you hand these traitors to me? I intend to use them as a warning.”
Zeke growled, “I said, hand them over to the Cygnus Room for disposal.”
Stephen was shocked, but in the end, he had no choice except acceptance. “Of course.”
After that, Zeke left. If Stephen had insisted on taking the corpses, Zeke would suspect that they were colluding with
the Netherworld, and he would never let any suspect go that easily.
Back at the ministry, Sole Wolf and everyone else were in an intense argument.
“I think we should go and look for Great Marshal right now.”
“He's already gone for a long time. Even if he's not in danger, he might still be in trouble.”
“I second that motion. We're his generals. Our job is to help him out. We can't just stand here and do nothing when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe's out there facing the enemy on his own.”
“But we have our orders. Great Marshal told us to stay here and keep this place under control. If we leave our
posts, we'd be going against orders.”
“If this is the enemy's plan to distract us, we'd be walking right into their trap if we leave. If Mrs. Williams and Missy
got into any trouble, the fault is all ours!”
Just when they couldn't come to an agreement, someone suddenly descended upon them, and it was none other
than Zeke himself.
When Zeke finally appeared, everyone stopped arguing and eased up a little.
“You're finally back, Zeke. We were worried sick. So, did you manage to find the enemy?”
Zeke nodded. “Yes, and I have killed them. Get prepared, everyone. We'll be heading for Mount Kush next.”
Since his master was on the mountain, Zeke must make the trip to save him from impending doom. On top of that,
if the old monk wasn't lying, Daemonium was heading there with Warren, and if they managed to arrive, Eurasia
might fall into their hands.
Zeke had no choice but to journey there to stop this disaster from happening.
The generals couldn't understand why Zeke wanted to go to Mount Kush all of a sudden, but judging from the
somber look on his face, they knew it was an important trip to make.
