Zeke whispered, “Keep a low profile. We don't want to cause a stir now. Both of you should wait here while I check it out. I won't take long.”
Solemnly, Emma nodded. “Okay, we'll wait for you. Do come out soon.”
Sneakily, Zeke slipped into Vital Clinic through the backdoor. After shuffling through the area, he quickly familiarized himself with the interior structure of the building.
As an Ultimate Class warrior, his powers were comparable to someone in the Celestial Class, and no ordinary person could spot him.
After inspecting the place, Zeke noticed something suspicious with the attic.
If his intuitions were right, Bryan and Amelia were there.
He was about to sneak into it to check it out when he heard a sudden movement from behind him.
Immediately, he hid himself.
Four nurses in white coats came walking in, headed for the attic.
Quickly, Zeke thought of a plan.
When the four of them got close to him, he released a ball of energy, allowing him to control them.
Standing rooted to the ground, the nurses felt like they were encapsulated by cement as they could not move nor speak.
With his energy, Zeke drew them toward him. They ended up in the dark corner where he hid.
Coldly, he muttered, “All of you better not scream. Otherwise, I will kill you the moment you make a sound. I am here for Bryan and Bryan only, so I hope you will not create unnecessary trouble for me. If you understand what I mean, blink to acknowledge.”
The nurses quickly blinked, and Zeke withdrew his energy to free them.
The moment they were freed, one of the nurses' eyes rolled back into her head and she fainted on the spot.
It seemed that she was frightened to the point of passing out.
To them, Zeke's actions were bizarre as they felt like he had locked them in position earlier. No matter how hard they tried, they could not move, and it felt suffocating.
Only a demon could do that, right?
The other three nurses trembled with fear, terrified to make a sound.
“Please, have mercy. Let us go,” they begged.
Zeke stated, “Answer my question, and I will spare your life. Is Bryan in the attic? What is he doing?”
One of them quickly replied, “Mr. Hilton is in the attic preparing to conduct surgery on a female patient. W-We're here to provide him with the medical tools.”
“Does Bryan usually do surgeries on his patients in the attic?” Zeke asked, curious.
In response, another nurse answered, “The attic was an operation theatre previously. However, it hasn't been used for a while now. I'm not sure why Mr. Hilton wants to operate on the patient there this time.”
Wanting to get more information, Zeke probed, “Do you know anything else?”
Unfortunately, the nurses shook their heads. “No. We really don't have any more information.”
Zeke nodded in understanding before he instructed, “Take off your white coat now.”
Afraid to go against his words, the nurses stripped off their coats.
Then, Zeke used his energy again to hypnotize the three nurses before returning to the car.
At that time, Emma was on the verge of breaking down. When she spotted Zeke, she could not help but question, “Mr. Williams, how is it? Is my daughter in danger?”
Zeke assured her, “Don't worry, Bryan hasn't operated on her yet. Come with me. I'll take you to her.”
Within minutes, Emma and Madeline changed into the nurses' outfits and followed Zeke to the attic through the back door.
Zeke planned to disguise themselves as nurses sending medical supplies to the attic.
Repeatedly, he reminded the two women, “Whatever you see later, do not react. You might alert Bryan. All I want is for you to see his true self.”
Emma and Madeline nodded.
Knock! Knock!
Zeke knocked on the attic room door.
“Come in,” Bryan responded.
When Zeke opened the door, he saw Bryan with his hands behind his back, studying Amelia's CT scan.
Meanwhile, Amelia was lying in bed and looked to be unconscious.
There was nothing unusual about the scene.
