Meanwhile, Zeke had arrived at the pedestrian street and was hurrying over to where the commotion was.
With him was the village chief, Alfred.
The first thing Zeke did upon his return was to find Lacey and Missy at Linton Group.
However, when he arrived, he found out that Linton Group's ownership had changed.
Also, he learned that all of Lacey's assets had been seized.
Left without a choice, she had to take Missy with her, and they rented a place in the village.
Hence, Zeke rushed over at once.
Along the journey, he also learned that his subordinates, Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, Justice Warrior, Tyler, Nameless, and others, had been captured by Ares' men and were currently missing.
Hence, he ordered Azure Dragon to split up and track them down, leaving only Alfred by his side.
Considering that Zeke had returned to the peak of his power and was elevated to Ultimate Class, he was already invincible. Therefore, he didn't need help from his subordinates.
From afar, Zeke heard the agonizing cries coming from Lacey's rented house.
At the same time, he could feel the residual energy that could only belong to the Netherworld.
Oh, no. I'm too late. Something has happened. Are the members of the Netherworld causing trouble?
Zeke increased his pace.
The moment he arrived and looked into the house, he felt a thundering shock that caused his knees to buckle and his mind to blank out.
In the yard, there was utter chaos with two groups of people fighting. Blood was splattered all over the ground.
At the same time, he saw Lacey lying in a pool of blood on the cold floorboards.
As the blood reflected off her exquisite-looking face, she still looked as gorgeous as ever.
“Argh!”
Zeke let out an earth-shattering roar.
At that moment, there was only one thing on his mind.
That was to kill the murderer.
His roar was filled with such murderous intent that it jolted everyone in the yard.
All of them could not help but shudder in fear as chills ran down their spines.
Hound and his men were stunned.
Subconsciously, they felt the urge to flee.
Zeke ordered, “Stop them, but don't kill them!”
He wouldn't let Alfred kill them, as he wanted to exact revenge with his own hands.
“Understood!”
In the next instant, Alfred hurried to restrain Hound and his men.
In the meantime, Zeke hurried over to Lacey's side and carried her up.
“Lacey, wake up. I'm sorry that I came too late.”
Lacey gradually opened her eyes.
When she realized Zeke was still alive, she tried her best to eke out a smile. “You're still alive...”
Zeke burst into tears as he was overwhelmed by unimaginable sorrow.
Lacey gently raised her hand to help Zeke wipe off his tears.
However, before her hand could reach him, it dropped lifelessly to the ground.
Lacey's body slumped in Zeke's arms and stopped moving.
“Argh! Lacey, you can't die! I won't let you die!”
Zeke anxiously took out his Ammo Needles and inserted them into Lacey, hoping to prolong her life.
After that, he fed her a resurrection pill to lock in her residual life force.
Then he carefully carried her onto the bed.
He wasn't sure if his efforts were enough to revive her.
But one thing was certain. Their enemies would pay with their lives.
When Zeke turned and walked out, his body was drenched in blood, making him look especially menacing.
Bending down, he picked up the dagger from the pool of blood.
Despite the blood still being warm, the dagger felt icy to the touch.
It was covered with Lacey's blood.
Hence, he wanted to bathe the dagger with Hound's and his men's blood.
Meanwhile, Alfred had subdued all of them.
