Zeke was overwhelmed by Pietro's great vision. On top of forming Azure Dragon for him, he had dispatched spies to infiltrate the ranks of Netherworld on his behalf.
Seriously? Is he a seer or something?
Jackson was on the verge of going berserk when he figured out someone had infiltrated the ranks of his branch.
The higher-ups are going to give me hell after this even if I take Zeke out! How could there be a spy within my branch?
He berated Antonio furiously “Aren't you aware of the consequences awaiting you for betraying Netherworld?”
When Antonio heard Jackson, he remarked with a smirk, “What do you mean? I seriously think it's a steal as long as I get to drag a few of your men to hell with me!”
“Ha! You don't think you're the only one taking an express trip to hell, do you? We'll take out the family members of those betraying us as well! Just you wait and spend the rest of your life in despair!”
All of a sudden, Antonio burst out laughing. “I'm afraid I'm going to let you down again because I'm an orphan! Mr. White's the only one I'm affiliated with ever since I was young! Why don't you go ahead and see if you can take him out?”
“I want the duo from the Black family and the rest of you guardians to take them out at all costs! All of you are the ones taking the express trip to hell if you can't take him out!” Jackson instructed with veins bulging all over his forehead.
“Understood!” they shouted in reply.
“Antonio, fight alongside me and take out our foes with me!” Zeke instructed in a similar manner.
“Yes, sir!”
Antonio turned into the main target of the fight as they engaged themselves in another tedious battle.
Zeke was glad Antonio was around to keep some of their foes occupied since they were greatly outnumbered.
Despite the pressure, Zeke could still manage to slowly steer the battle toward Summerbank while keeping Antonio safe from their foes.
Jackson frowned when he noticed Zeke had been edging closer to the direction of Summerbank. Although he wasn't aware of why the latter wanted to go there, he knew he had to stop him when he recalled the conversation Zeke had with his subordinates.
His trump card from the four Ultimate Class elders might turn the tide of the battle! There's no way I'm allowing him to move toward Summerbank!
Once Jackson made up his mind, he catapulted in the direction of Zeke and yelled, “Die!”
Jackson was an equally formidable warrior of Ultimate Class. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been appointed as a member of the Ten Commandments.
In other words, his presence tipped the balance of the battle again—Zeke and Antonio could barely defend themselves from their foes due to Jackson's participation.
Once Jackson joined the battle, Zeke and Antonio were slowly steered away from Summerbank. However, Zeke wasn't afraid since it wasn't necessary for him to hold back anymore.
Once an opportunity presented itself, he clenched his fist with all his might and focused his energy to throw a powerful punch in Jackson's direction.
D*mn it!
Jackson finally figured out he had been tricked. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything much he could do apart from bracing himself for the powerful punch.
He wasn't a match for Zeke in terms of speed—Zeke was already a few inches away from him with his powerful punch when Jackson finally linked the missing pieces of the puzzle together.
Thump!
Seconds after a muffled grunt was heard, Jackson's still beating heart was sent flying out of his chest.
The father and son duo of the Black family and the rest of the guardians were in a state of horror because of Jackson's passing.
They couldn't believe someone else had killed the man they regarded so highly in just one punch.
