Freddie turned around and was about to leave, but Warren stopped him again. “Wait. You didn't see anything that
happened here tonight. If anyone else finds out about this, you're dead.”
“Don't you worry, Mr. Williams. I promise you that I didn't see or hear anything here... The cursed parasitic worm's
about to mature. I need to go now.” Freddie proceeded to sprint away as fast as he could.
Warren promptly hugged the Holy Maiden again. “Let's continue, Darling. No one's going to disturb us anymore.”
The Holy Maiden pouted. “That guy ruined my mood.”
“Don't worry. Once he returned to the base, I'll make sure to punish him for ruining our fun.”
Freddie didn't stop running until he was out of the bamboo forest. I thought my heart was going to leap out of my
chest earlier. Thank god I have a natural talent for acting. If not, I would've been dead by now.
Before he finished panting, a large hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
It spooked him so much that he jumped and shrieked, “Who is it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was Sole Wolf. “Why are you jumping so high up? Are you that much of a scaredy-cat?”
Seeing how the person was his ally, Freddie let out a sigh. “Oh, it's you. You surprised me. I thought it was someone
from the Netherworld.”
“Tell me what you encountered earlier that was making you all jittery.”
He told Sole Wolf everything about his encounter with Warren earlier.
Sole Wolf was quite pissed off after listening to the whole story. “That dog! I was spending so much effort and time
just to deal with him while he was flirting with the Black Muraco Clan's Holy Maiden! This is unfair! Unfair, I say!
Once I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces!”
“Where's Mr. Williams? I need to tell him what I've found.”
“Follow me.” Sole Wolf led him to a bamboo building not too far away from their spot.
Zeke was casually drinking coffee inside the building.
When he saw Freddie, he placed his cup down and stared at him with anticipation.
“Greetings, Mr. Williams.” Freddie bowed slightly.
“How's the job I asked you to do?”
“I've located the targets' location, Mr. Williams.”
“Tell me.”
“They're kept inside a firewood shed at the western corner of the base.” Freddie paused before continuing, “There's
a mechanism in the firewood shed that'll prevent us from rescuing the targets. Only I know the path through that
mechanism.”
He was worried that Zeke would immediately try to kill him after he revealed the location of the targets.
That was why he emphasized that he still had value alive than dead.
Zeke and Sole Wolf's expression shifted.
Freddie had a bad feeling when he saw that.
Sole Wolf questioned, “Are you sure you're telling the truth, Freddie?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Of course I am.”
“If we discover that you're lying to us, I can assure you that you'll experience the most painful punishment the
world has to offer. Now, I'll ask you again, are you certain you're telling us the truth?”
“Yes. I promise you I'm not lying. Why are you questioning me like this?”
“That's because your intel is different from someone else's.”
“Who is it?” Freddie's pupil constricted.
Zeke and Sole Wolf glanced at each other before Sole Wolf nodded and dragged someone else from a nearby
room.
When Freddie saw who it was, he was shocked.
That person turned out to be the right-hand man of Mahazael, Kingsley!
He didn't expect Kingsley to be captured. “How did you catch him, Mr. Williams?”
Zeke answered, “When he stepped out of the bamboo forest earlier, he noticed something was going wrong with
the Black Muraco Clan. He was about to head back to report his finding before I stopped him.”
