Mr. Collins shook his head. “No. I’ve never heard of them, much less seen them before. I have been searching for them over the past few years too, to no avail.”
Zeke asked, “Are you sure that they are a private militia and not some secret force from Eurasia?”
Mr. Collins nodded. “Of course. In fact, they looked just like a random assortment of people. They were dressed like farmers, merchants, workers...”
It’s impossible for a random assortment of people to be twice as powerful as the Seal Mercenary!
This is odd.
Mr. Collins targeted his gaze at Nameless. “Nameless, you ran away back then to ask for help, right? Were you one of them? Why did you infiltrate to the Seal mercenary? Where was the private militia from?”
Zeke stared at Nameless intently as well.
However, Nameless was stubborn. “I don’t know.”
Mr. Collins bellowed angrily, “Still acting as though you know nothing! As the captain of the Seal mercenary, I command you to tell us the truth! Once a Seal mercenary, always a Seal mercenary. According to our rules, disobeying the captain’s orders is akin to treason!”
Despite the outburst, Nameless clenched his teeth, “I don’t know.”
You little...
Mr. Collins was so infuriated that he almost threw a punch, but Zeke stopped him.
Over the short timespan Zeke had come to know Nameless, he already understood his personality very well.
Nameless was a very strong-willed and tight-lipped person, and he might not relent, even if he were sent to the Cygnus Room.
Zeke uttered, “Nameless, I don’t know much about you, but I can tell that you’re connected to Master Pietro and Eurasia somehow. Your information is very important to Master Pietro and Eurasia, so I hope that you can think things through, telling us everything that you know. Eurasia will definitely not disappoint you.”
Even though Nameless seemed unfazed, his expression softened slightly.
He did not answer Zeke’s question. Instead, he sat down and took a glass of alcohol.
“Collins, where are the rest of the Seal Mercenary?”
“They’re all dead.”
Dead...
Nameless’ hands trembled slightly, and his expression turned from shock to fury.
The glass in his hand fell to the ground as he stared dejectedly at it.
Meanwhile, Zeke smiled because Nameless admitted that he was part of the Seal mercenary.
I believe that someday, he will let his guard down and tell us everything.
He patted Nameless’ back and left.
Meanwhile, Sole Wolf was waiting outside the tent.
He immediately approached Zeke when he walked out and asked, “Zeke, did that old fart tell you anything?”
Zeke shook his head.
“Zeke, maybe I should send him to the Cygnus Room. I have ways to deal with this old fart, like giving him an aphrodisiac...”
“Nonsense.” Zeke chuckled. “Don’t worry about him. Your main mission right now is to guard the Spirit Stone mine.”
Sole Wolf nodded. “Alright.”
Zeke asked, “How’s Ares doing?”
“I moved him to the medical center in Devonville. He was in a comatose ever since he left the Carter family, and the doctors are trying their best to save him. I don’t know if he has woken up yet.”
Zeke nodded. “Alright. Let’s go and visit him.”
They arrived at the temporary medical center in the forbidden area.
