Good!
Joseph sat in his wheelchair. He had a subordinate beside him. They were here to visit Lacey.
When the cell door opened, Lacey was sitting facing the door. She looked extremely worn out and disheveled.
Her hands and feet were bound by shackles. She could not move at all.
When she saw Joseph come in, she slowly raised her head.
He uttered coldly, “It's time to go. Take her away.”
Then, he looked at her and warned, “Lacey, I suggest you cooperate nicely. If you make Warren happy, the entire Netherworld will be yours. Once Netherworld takes over Eurasia, you will be Queen. Your future will be limitless. It'll be much better than following by the Great Marshal Zeke's side.”
Lacey laughed in response. “You traitor. You really don't know me at all.”
What did she mean by that?
Joseph frowned upon hearing that.
“I will always belong to Zeke, whether in life or death. Even if I die, I would never betray him and join Warren!”
As she spoke, she opened her palm.
Inside it contained a red pill.
Damn it!
Joseph's face immediately paled. “She's going to end her life. Stop her quickly!”
His subordinate hurried over and tried to grab Lacey.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Lacey opened her mouth wide and swallowed the red pill.
F***!
Joseph felt his scalp go numb.
If he failed at completing the mission that was given to him by Warren, he was not going to be forgiven.
That wretched woman. She is going to be the death of me.
Joseph immediately wheeled himself outside. “Doctor, doctor! Go get a doctor...”
However, as soon as he reached the door, a large figure stood in his way.
He did not have time to look at who it was. He continued to charge forward. “Quick, where is the doctor...”
Unexpectedly, the tall figure grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.
What the... Who on Earth is this?
Joseph started to curse in anger. However, he soon stopped.
The man in front of him was none other than Warren Williams himself.
Isn't he supposed to be in Corleon? Why is he back here? Wait a minute. He's not Warren.
There were several men behind him.
Ares, Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, Tyler, Nameless, and Alfred...
That was Zeke!
The true Great Marshal himself, Zeke Williams.
Joseph felt his mind explode.
His worst fear was being realized.
Zeke had actually shown up.
The murderous intent he was exuding filled Joseph with despair.
Zeke broke the silence. “Where is my wife Lacey?”
“I.. I don't know,” Joseph mumbled in response.
Zeke grabbed the dagger hanging on Joseph's waist. Then, he swung it down toward Joseph's left arm.
Immediately, Joseph's remaining arm was sliced off by Zeke.
“I'm going to ask you one last time. Where is my wife Lacey?”
Zeke was really boiling with rage.
If Joseph did not speak up now, he was never going to see the light of day ever again.
Ah!
The intense pain made Joseph cry out miserably.
More than physical pain, he was suffering mentally.
He had now lost both his hands and one leg. This meant that he only had one leg left. He had truly turned into a monster.
“Okay, okay. I'll tell you,” he said between sobs. “She's in the dungeon.”
“Lacey is in the dungeon?”
The dungeon!
Zeke flung Joseph down to the floor and ran toward the dungeon.
Meanwhile, Sole Wolf was fuming. He immediately started to beat and kick Joseph.
“You piece of sh*t. Do you have any idea how much Zeke loves his wife? He can't even bear to raise his voice at her. You're telling me you locked her up in the dungeon? Let's head there together, shall we? For every hair lost on her head, I'll slice your brains out!”
The group of them charged toward the dungeon.
