“Mrs. Williams's friend, Josephine, has invited her and Ms. Missy over to the Ministry of Sacred as guests, Great Marshal,” Big Back replied.
“Damn it! Don't you guys know that Josephine is trying to get my wife killed?” Zeke shouted.
What?
Big Back was shocked. “I'm sorry, Great Marshal! I had no idea! We'll get rid of Josephine, then escort Mrs. Williams and Ms. Missy back to the hotel right away!”
“All right.”
Zeke nodded and was about to hang up when he heard a commotion on the other line.
“What the... Who are you? What are you... Argh! Ugh...”
Those were all that he heard from Big Back before the line went dead.
Sh*t! Someone must've ambushed Big Back! Whoever it is must be after Lacey and Missy; their lives are in danger!
Zeke's heart began to race in panic at the thought of that.
He then jumped straight down from the top floor and made a mad dash toward the Ministry of Sacred.
Unbeknownst to him, the hotel's guests who were having lunch in its restaurant were shocked by that little stunt of his.
One of the guests shouted in shock, “Hey, look! What is that?”
As his loud voice had disrupted the relaxing atmosphere in the restaurant, most of the guests were displeased with his behavior.
The waiter was about to tell him to keep his voice down, but the other guests began to freak out one after another.
“My goodness! I'm not seeing things, am I?”
“Is this some kind of trapeze performance arranged by the hotel?”
“His body isn't attached to a rope, so there's no way that's a trapeze performance!”
“Do you mean there are people in this world who can fly?”
“Um... Maybe he has some kind of superpower!”
The waiter followed their gaze and looked out the window as well, only to go wide-eyed with shock seconds later.
A man has jumped off the top floor with no harness or ropes on his body and is falling through the air with his arms outstretched like a pair of wings... I don't know about trapeze performances or superpowers, but that man is most likely going to end up a bloody corpse once he hits the ground! This is clearly a suicidal act!
The onlookers grew increasingly nervous as Zeke got nearer to the ground.
Boom!
Zeke's body crashed onto the ground with a loud boom and formed a deep crater where he landed.
The impact was so great that the entire hotel shook slightly as a result.
Everyone let out sympathetic sighs as they thought a young man had committed suicide.
As they didn't know who he was, the guests weren't really bothered by it and were about to go back to eating.
That was when the waiter exclaimed loudly in surprise and disbelief, “Holy sh*t, he's alive! He actually survived!”
How is that possible? How could anyone survive a fall from over thirty floors up? This waiter is probably full of crap!
The guests thought to themselves as they instinctively glanced out the window, only to freak out when they saw Zeke jump out of the crater unharmed and run off at lightning speed.
What the hell? That guy showed no signs of injury and was running at superhuman speeds! That means he must have superpowers!
Zeke had no idea that the hotel had descended into utter chaos, but he couldn't care less as he continued running toward the Ministry of Sacred.
Judging by Big Back's words, they were ambushed before they arrived at the Ministry of Sacred.
He contacted Sole Wolf and Tyler. “Where are you guys right now?”
“We've just arrived at the Ministry of Sacred,” Sole Wolf replied.
“Don't go there. I need you to rush over to the hotel I was staying in. Lacey and Missy have been ambushed!” Zeke ordered.
What?
