Knowing that Amelia never lied, Emma finally believed that Zeke bested the Boxing King.
She also realized that there was a lot that she did not know about Zeke.
When Emma was still staring blankly at the man, her phone suddenly rang.
A smile appeared on her face when she saw the name displayed.
It was her best friend, Sasha.
Back then, the two were practically inseparable, doing almost everything together.
However, since Emma had to go overseas to look for her father, the two eventually parted ways though they frequently called each other to keep in touch.
Emma was sure that Sasha had called her because her friend had heard that she was back in town.
That friend of Emma was the same person who had betted on Zeke before the fight.
“Emma, a little bird told me that you're back. Is that true?” questioned Sasha the moment Emma answered the call.
“Yes, Sha. I'm back!” answered Emma, just as excited as her friend.
“What sort of friend are you, Emma? Why didn't you call me the first thing you got back? I could've held a welcoming party for you!”
“I swear I just got back. Something happened in between, so I couldn't notify you immediately.”
“Fine. I'll forgive you if you come over to my place right now. I have so much to tell you!”
“But... don't you think it's a little too late for that now?” Emma was somewhat reluctant.
“Too late? Are you kidding? The night is still young! Emma, I met my Prince Charming! You have to let me tell you all about him.”
Upon hearing that, Emma chuckled. “Fine. I'll be right over.”
Emma then turned to Zeke after hanging up. “Mr. Williams, could you send me to Westlake Road 43? I'll be spending the night with my friend.”
Naturally, Zeke had no problem with Emma's request.
It did not take them long to reach the destination, and after bidding the man farewell, Emma got out of the car with Amelia.
Instead of driving away in a hurry, Zeke watched as Emma knocked on her friend's door.
He thought he should keep an eye on Emma for a while longer just to make sure she was safe.
When somebody finally opened the door, Zeke was shocked to see the person behind it. Isn't that Sasha, the woman who betted on me? Fate sure does work in mysterious ways. Never have I expected her to be a friend of Emma's.
Even though Zeke did not know Sasha very well, he could tell that she was a straightforward and kind-hearted woman from what little time they had.
Zeke did not think that Emma would be in any kind of danger around someone like Sasha, but still, he had to make sure.
That was why he immediately called Sole Wolf.
Even then, Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, Tyler, Alfred, and Nameless remained stationed in Corleon, dealing with some important matters.
The call quickly went through, and Zeke could hear how much Sole Wolf had missed him.
“You have no idea how long I've waited to hear from you! What happened? I thought you had forgotten all about us.”
“How's everything in Corleon?” inquired Zeke.
“You have nothing to worry about; we took care of it. Everything is now back to normal.”
“That's good to hear. It's time to meet up. There's something I need you to do for me.”
“Sure. We'll see you soon.”
“And try to be quiet about it. Let's not disturb the residents here.”
Zeke then sent his exact location to Sole Wolf, who took less than half an hour to show up with the rest of the group.
Even the weakest one in the group was a King Class warrior, which meant they could reach almost anywhere with their supersonic speed.
