“Zeller was attacked and knocked out! We might have enemies in here!” Zell exclaimed.
Curses!
At that moment, Mahazael and Daemonium immediately stood up and turned in a gust of strong wind after their
gaze met, heading straight to the entrance.
There, Zeller was still unconscious.
And the first thing Daemonium did was release a dense cloud of negative energy that shrouded them in case
people were waiting to ambush them.
At the same time, Mahazael picked Zeller up and sent negative energy inside him to wake him up.
Soon, Zeller gradually opened his eyes.
“Mr. Mahazael!” He immediately got on his knees and greeted Mahazael.
“Let's cut to the chase. Tell me what happened,” Mahazael said.

“He came in with Kingsley and Freddie. You need to go chase after them.”
“What? Zeke Williams is here with those two?”
“He's definitely here for David Jones and Brantley Fleming, then. Kingsley's been in charge of bringing them food.
He knows where they are.”
“We can't let them escape! Those two mean too much to Netherworld!”
Instinctively, both Mahazael and Daemonium wanted to run toward the shed to intercept Zeke.
“Wait, Mr. Mahazael. I have another important matter to report to you.” Zeller stopped them.
“Speak!” Mahazael was getting restless.
“Before this, Mr. Warren Williams went out. I know he was meeting Holy Maiden from the Black Muraco Clan and
that their meeting place happened to be near the pathway that leads to here. Is there a chance that Zeke Williams
saw them when he came here? Could it be that Mr. Warren is already done for?”
“F***!”
Daemonium was outraged. “This useless son of a b**** only knows how to cause trouble! Mahazael, you go track
down Zeke Williams. I'll go look for Warren Williams.”
“Why do you even care about that guy at this point?” Mahazael asked. “He's not even your real son. Why bother?”
“What do you know? That man plays a vital role in Netherworld. In fact, he might be the key to turning the tides in
our favor at critical moments; therefore, nothing can happen to him.”
“Alright then.” Mahazael nodded. “Let's split up.”
Thus, the two split up. Daemonium went to search for Warren and Mahazael to track down Zeke.
On the other hand, Zeke and the lot had been sprinting as fast as they could after they got out of the barrier.
However, the terrain of the bamboo forest was rather complex. With David and Brantley both weak and severely
wounded, their progress was slow, to say the least.
After a while, they vaguely heard people shouting behind them as well a myriad of footsteps.

At that moment, David and Brantley got anxious after hearing that the enemies were getting closer.
Eventually, David decided to stop moving. “Mr. Williams, you guys go. I'll stay behind to cut them off. Now, the rest
of what I'm telling you is from Mr. White. It's important, so listen carefully...”
“Shut up!” Zeke stopped him. “Tell me only after we get to safety.”
“But there's no time left, Mr. Williams.”
“You guys go. I'll handle the enemies behind us. We'll meet up tomorrow, outside,” Warren said.
“Mr. Williams!” David panicked. “Master is stuck in the Secret Realm of Mount Kush and can't get out. Nothing must
happen to you...”
“This is an order,” Zeke said coldly. “As the general of the North's army, I order you two to escape. Right now!”
“I...”
David and Brantley were at a loss.
To them, an order was an order. So, they eventually gave in to Zeke's command and turned to run with gritted
teeth.
Meanwhile, Freddie and Kingsley stared at Zeke pleadingly.
