The inspector of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs was actually trading with those from the Netherworld! Just how many spiritual drugs Eurasia must have lost because of him!
Zeke said, “Throw him into the prison and keep a strict eye on him!”
“Understood!” The members of Azure Dragon dragged Joseph away.
“My leg! My leg!” shrieked Joseph in agony.
If he was treated right away, his severed limbs could still be reattached to his body.
However, the Azure Dragon would never give him this opportunity.
Joseph had no choice but to watch the chance for him to recover slip through his hands.
“Alfred, Ares, come with me to go after Tiger Lord,” ordered Zeke.
“Understood!”
Zeke turned around and instructed Lacey, “Wait for me here, Lacey. I'm going to pursue someone from the Netherworld.”
Although Lacey only had a vague understanding of the Netherworld, she knew that it was Eurasia's enemy and that Zeke was going to eliminate these threats.
Hence, she nodded.
Zeke continued, “Missy is stuck in the Netherworld. I'll follow the shadow, locate their base, and save her.”
Nodding, Lacey tidied his clothes and said, “I'll wait for you to return safe and sound!”
“Let's go!”
Without further ado, the three of them headed off in Tiger Lord's direction.
For two days and two nights, they sprinted as fast as they could.
Still, they could not find any traces of Tiger Lord.
Zeke felt a bit anxious and was even beginning to wonder if they were heading in the wrong direction.
Luckily, on the third day, Zeke finally bumped into Sole Wolf and Tiger Lord.
They were curled up in a cave in the mountains and resting.
When Sole Wolf spotted Zeke, he was overjoyed. “You've finally found us! I was so bored. I haven't spoken to anyone in three days!”
Zeke nodded. “Update me about the situation.”
Sole Wolf replied, “The shadow was very careful. It would pause in the middle of its journey now and then and observe its surroundings to make sure that no one was on its trail. As we didn't want to be discovered, we had no choice but to stop and monitor it from afar secretly.”
Zeke glanced over.
It was a vast expanse of wilderness. There was nothing to be seen, let alone a shadow.
They could only rely on Tiger Lord to trace the shadow's scent and follow its tracks.
Zeke asked, “Has it been heading north the entire time?”
Sole Wolf nodded. “That's right. We didn't see it heading in any other direction.”
Ares asked, “Isn't up front the North Zone? That's your base, Great Marshal. Could the Netherworld branch that the shadow is affiliated with be located within your base?”
Sole Wolf laughed. “You're right! He's really heading toward the North. We're very near the North Zone now. How dare they establish a branch in our base? They're digging their own graves!”
Zeke reminded, “Continue following its tracks. We must not alert it unnecessarily. Missy might be in that branch!”
Sole Wolf became furious when he heard that. “D*mn the Netherworld! I only have one niece. I'll not let them bully her like that! Missy, don't you worry! Even if I die, I'll drag the Netherworld down with me!”
Tiger Lord suddenly patted Sole Wolf's butt.
Just when he was about to lose his temper, Tiger Lord pointed to the north.
Sole Wolf declared, “Zeke, the shadow has set off!”
Zeke instructed, “Follow it!”
Everyone chased after the shadow relentlessly.
Even after traveling for the entirety of a day and night, the shadow showed no signs of stopping.
By then, they had already entered the North.
The climate in the North was extremely cold and harsh.
The northern wind blew regularly throughout the year, while snow billowed in the sky.
