Even though they were pretty sure the previous president did some dirty deeds and wasn't really a good person, he
was still Frank's teacher. So, Frank still viewed him with respect.
A sigh left Zeke's mouth before he helped Frank get the former president down.
Frank speedily gave his teacher CPR.
While he was doing that, Zeke examined the dead man's physiological characteristics. It seems like he has already
been dead for at least an hour. Even gods can't save him now. D*mmit, another dead end.
Dissatisfied, he examined the corpse, hoping to find some clues.
Then he noticed something odd on the corpse's hand.
Despite the fact that the old man had been dead for quite a while already, his right hand was still holding onto
something tightly.
Maybe he's holding something important? That idea reignited hope in Zeke's heart.
Hastily, he peeled the previous president's hand open and saw a note inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he opened the note, he saw three words written on it: I am free.
Is the previous president saying his death meant he could be free? Free from what? Could it be that he was
suffering while he was working for the mysterious big hand with Yannick and Yoshua? Maybe they had no choice but
to work for that mysterious giant palm? It's very likely. Just as Zeke was lamenting the fact that he was too late, his
phone rang.
Sole Wolf was calling him.
After Zeke answered the phone, Sole Wolf informed, “Bad news, Zeke. Gregory's daughter, the one you asked me
to look after, is dead.”
What? That shocked Zeke. Then he spoke in a reprimanding tone. “Didn't I ask you to watch over her? How could
you let her die?”
In a remorseful tone, Sole Wolf informed, “I admit, I should've been more careful. My negligence led to the failure
of my mission. I'm willing to accept my punishment...”
“Wait for me. I'll head there right away.”
After ending the call, Zeke turned to Frank. “Mr. Martell, I need to leave now because of an emergency. I promise I'll
send someone to investigate what happened to the former president. Don't worry—while I'll never let a criminal go
unpunished, I won't wrong a good man either.”
With a nod, Frank requested, “I have one request that I hope you'll be willing to fulfill, Great Marshal.”
“Speak.”
“Regardless of whether my teacher is a criminal or not, I want to bury his corpse myself. I can't just ignore our
relationship as a teacher and student.”
“I promise you. Additionally, Mr. Valentine, you better cooperate with the Special Unit's investigation. If you do, we'll
sentence you according to the crime you've committed. If you refuse or try to run away, I can promise you that
you'll be losing your life.”
Immediately, Adonis kneeled in front of Zeke. “Don't worry, Great Marshal. I'll definitely cooperate with the
investigation and turn over a new leaf.”
When he raised his head again, he saw Zeke was already gone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA long sigh of relief escaped his mouth as he slumped to the ground.
The time he spent with Zeke felt longer than living through half of his life.
Zeke returned to Lewis Village as fast as he possibly could.
Standing in front of the village chief's house were a bunch of villagers trying to see what was going on. Gregory's
wails could occasionally be heard from his house.
Having one's child die before them was a pain that ordinary people couldn't understand.
After passing through the crowd, Zeke rushed into Gregory's house.
Gregory and his wife were kneeling beside the bed and crying as they clutched Sherry's body.
Sherry was lying peacefully on the bed, her body soaked by water.
It was likely that she had died not too long ago. She appeared as though she was sleeping and didn't at all look as
scary as a dead person.
Zeke stepped forward, placed his finger on her wrist, and checked her pulse. No heartbeat, no breathing. It seems
like she's dead.
Still, he wasn't willing to accept the outcome, so he injected a dense concentration of energy into her body to
investigate.
