However, it was fine since Wendy, the culprit, couldn't flee in time.
Zeke approached her and warned, “Why don't you surrender since you're the only one left? If not, you're going to go through hell!”
Wendy repeated herself with a serious look, “Have I not made myself clear? I'll fight until my last breath! Members of the Kush Clan will never surrender!”
She clenched her fists with all her might to kill herself.
Zeke couldn't stop her in time in spite of dashing to her side immediately after figuring out the things she was up to.
She passed on shortly after her attempt to sacrifice herself for a greater cause.
As upset as Zeke might be, he tried his luck to get his hands on something and found an intercom Wendy possessed.
That was the sole thing he managed to gather from Wendy.
He passed it to Sole Wolf and instructed, “Take this and Wendy to Cygnus Room. Try to extract as much intel as possible.”
“Yes!” Sole Wolf departed with Wendy's corpse after taking note of Zeke's instructions.
Nancy and Dawn approached Zeke.
Dawn asked, “Zeke, are we going to spend the rest of our life with the curse since no one's around to lift the curse?”
The optimistic Nancy quipped, “I guess you're stuck with us for the rest of your life. Actually, it doesn't sound too bad.”
“That's ridiculous. He can't keep us company when he has so much to tend to as the Great Marshal.”
Zeke consoled the dispirited Dawn, “Take it easy. The curse is a manifestation of the culprit's mental energy. It's no longer a threat since she's dead.”
To verify his hypothesis, Zeke leaped upward to place some distance between himself and the ladies. It appeared the ladies were no longer in pain even when Zeke wasn't around.
Dawn was slightly disappointed as well because she thought she might get to join Zeke in his future ventures should they remain cursed.
Once he ensured everything was fine, he instructed, “I want the two of you to come with me.”
“Where are we going?” Dawn asked.
“Where else apart from the headquarter of United Group?”
The ladies' eyes gleamed as they knew Zeke was about to avenge them.
The trio made their way to the headquarter of United Group after a short while.
Once Zeke parked the car, a man showed up next to the car.
The man was none other than Sawyer, the leader of the spies infiltrating United Group to keep an eye on Robert and Jason.
He greeted Zeke, “Great Marshal, I've been anticipating your arrival.”
“Where's Robert? Is he in his office?”
“He's in the office with his son,” Sawyer answered with a nod.
Zeke instructed, “I want all of you to hide in the dark until I instruct otherwise.”
Sawyer responded with a nod and disappeared into thin air after his conversation with Zeke.
Zeke marched into the headquarter with Nancy and Dawn without concealing his murderous intent.
Robert, the president of United Group, was in the middle of a meeting with his son to finalize the details of the casino development.
It was a gift for Adrian from Robert to return Adrian's favor of taking Zeke out on his behalf.
He thought it was the most appropriate gift to express his gratitude towards Adrian.
Jason, who was confined to a wheelchair, shared his idea with his father.
Halfway through the meeting, they felt uneasy due to the sudden drop in temperature of the room.
Robert sneezed and muttered to himself, “It's strange! What's with the chilling sensation when things were fine a few seconds ago?”
His son glanced at the windows and noticed it had nothing to do with the wind since the windows were shut tight.
He said, “It must be the staff messing with the temperature of the air conditioner again. I'll get in touch with them once we're done.”
Robert carried on with the discussion, thinking what Jason's words made sense.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Out of nowhere, someone banged on the door, getting on the nerves of the already irked Robert.
The frustrated man bellowed, “I need to get myself another secretary because this one doesn't keep my instruction in mind! He won't stop getting in my way whenever I'm in the middle of something serious!”
His son asked, “What if it's something important? Why don't you ask him to join us in the office?”
