Edmund knitted his brows. “Ivan, even you can't defeat him? Just how powerful is this person? Has he reached the level of a master?”
“I have no idea about his true abilities,” Ivan answered as he shook his head. “He never attacked personally and had only set us up with bombs. He specializes in using bombs, and he sets them up so silently that we never sensed them. That's why we fell into his trap.”
Edmund flashed a cold smile. “Using automatic weapons is the most shameless trick in the underworld. Aren't they afraid of infuriating the underworld by using such weapons? Anyway, don't worry. I know just exactly how to deal with such scumbags.”
“This needs to be done fast. I can't wait to see Zeke Williams' body already,” Robert said.
“Give me a week. I promise to get rid of them entirely,” Edmund said.
“If it's possible,” Jason chimed in, “I hope you can keep the three women alive...”
Edmund burst into laughter. “I've heard rumors of you being a playful man. Looks like the rumors were accurate. I can't believe you want the women from the enemy's side as well. Anyway, sparing them will be slightly difficult, but I'll try my best to do so. Okay, enough with the nonsense. I'm going to observe the opponents' daily life and make some plans.”
Meanwhile, Zeke had booked the entire hospital so that Nancy and Dawn could get treated. At the same time, the building became his temporary command post.
After confirming that Robert was the person behind it, Zeke immediately sent out some spies to surround United Group secretly and watch the former's every move.
He did not dare to act rashly in fear of startling the enemy.
After all, he knew Robert was only a scapegoat used by Wendy, the real culprit.
However, according to the spies, the woman had disappeared mysteriously. Even Robert could not get in touch with her.
Hence, Zeke had no choice but to spy on Robert in order to find Wendy.
If he were to attack Robert openly, Wendy would find out about it and would no longer reveal herself.
Simultaneously, Zeke had also transferred some specialists in metaphysics from Cygnus Room to treat Nancy and Dawn at the hospital.
It was highly possible that Nancy and Dawn were poisoned by witchcraft or poisonous worms, so there was no use in having doctors anymore. He had no choice but to invite the specialists in that kind of study to discuss the treatment plan.
Nevertheless, even the best specialist could not find a way to treat the women.
This gave Zeke a headache.
There was only one way for the women to be saved, which was to get Wendy's help.
After all, she was the one who started the problem.
Despite that, Zeke believed it was not likely for Wendy to reveal herself once again since her motive was to make the two women stay with him and to stop him from heading to Mount Kush.
Now that she had achieved her goals, there was no point for her to show up again.
After experimenting for many days, Zeke discovered that the women would not experience any strange sensations as long as he was within ten meters of them.
Hence, he had been spending the day with them in the same room.
At night, the women, including Lacey and Missy, would sleep in the bedroom, while Zeke would occupy the living room.
The room they were living in now was a simple room remodeled from a luxurious one. It was not big, but it was not small either.
After bribing a nurse from the hospital, Edmund was able to gather information regarding Zeke and the other women.
When he found out that Zeke had been sleeping separately from the women, he had a plan in mind.
He would infiltrate the bedroom first and kill the three women and the child, then get into the living room to kill Zeke.
After perfecting the details in the day, he got into action at night.
It was a silent night at the hospital. The atmosphere was somber and dead.
Not a single person was in sight in the massive building.
Of course, this was all just a show. In reality, the whole hospital was surrounded by spies.
These spies had undergone special training, allowing them to blend in perfectly with their surroundings. No matter how hard an ordinary person tried to observe, they would never notice the spies.
