He's too mighty! Snippets of how they picked on him when he was in Village of Livestock previously suddenly flashed across their minds. Their hearts thumped wildly.
Meanwhile, Freddie struggled to poke his head out from the piles of debris. He looked exceptionally disheveled, with ghastly wounds all over his body.
As blood spewed out of his mouth, he glared at Zeke. “W-Who are you? I bet you must be a fabled warrior!”
Zeke smirked. “You're in no position to know my name!”
Restraining himself from groaning in excruciating pain, Cain mustered up his strength to tell Freddie, “Mr. Lehman, his name... is Zeke Williams...”
Zeke Williams! The name sent an instant shiver down Freddie's spine! My goodness! It never occurs to me that he's Zeke Williams! He has been a taboo for everyone in Netherworld all this while!
Freddie recalled how Daemonium had warned him numerous times to stay away from Zeke if he ever bumped into him. Apart from that, Daemonium reminded him to notify him at once if he happened to obtain any first-hand information about Zeke. Nonetheless, it never crossed his mind that he would bump into Zeke at the moment.
Deep down, he could not resist feeling irritated amid his intense fear. D*mn it! Cain should have mentioned that the so-called tough nut is Zeke Williams. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have stepped on his toes! He's an unrivaled warrior with the same rank as Daemonium while I'm just a low-ranked nobody! Oh my! I'm finished!
Cain crawled frantically toward Freddie and cleared away the debris from his body. “What nonsense! How dare the b*stard beat you up! Mr. Lehman, why don't you request immediate backup? We must let him pay the price for what he has done today...”
Bang!
Unexpectedly, Freddie threw him a punch, sending him flying.
Perplexed, Cain could only rebuke inwardly. What the f*ck! I have the same stance as you! Zeke Williams is our foe, but why are you beating me again? Have you gone nuts after being beaten up?
Meanwhile, Zeke stepped forward to drag Freddie out from under piles of debris. The latter's arm was broken in an instant.
“Let's have another round!” Zeke challenged him.
“Can we please stop? I can't fight anymore,” Freddie pleaded pitifully. Oh my! he's a warrior of the same ranking as Daemonium! No matter how many of us are fighting against him, we are still no match for him! I'm only digging my own grave if I continue to battle against them!
Nevertheless, Zeke tried to talk him into having another round with him. “Don't stop! Let's carry on with it. I haven't had enough fun yet! How about putting it this way. I won't fight back with one side of my arms. Or perhaps, both sides?”
Freddie shook his head anxiously, “No! No! I really can't have another round! I surrender now, okay?”
Zeke scoffed, “What a coward! You have brought shame to Netherworld. What if I don't fight back with my arms and legs?”
Freddie shook his head again. “Can you please let me off? I would rather surrender.”
Zeke snapped coldly, “Show me the way to the Netherworld's base now.”
Even so, Freddie hesitated.
Zeke arched his brows and asked, “Oh! You don't seem to agree! Fine. Sole Wolf, teach him a lesson now.”
“Sure!” Sole Wolf replied blissfully and was about to throw his punch.
Freddie yelled out apprehensively, “Please stop it! I'm willing to lead you there. The base is in a secluded area. You won't be able to locate it without my help. I'll show you the way now.”
He took the lead and was about to leave with Zeke.
Nevertheless, the latter caught a glimpse of Cain, Jeremiah, and Peter, who were about to slip away. Needless to say, he would never let them off. The three of them are good at playing underhand tactics with their knowledge of black magic. If they manage to escape, the others will surely fall victims to them again!
Thus, he shot Sole Wolf a meaningful glance.
Sole Wolf nodded and transformed into a gust of swirling wind. The next moment, he lunged toward the trio and flung them back toward the villagers. “Did Zeke say that you may leave? It's just your wishful thinking to flee at once!”
In the twinkling of an eye, the three of them landed clumsily on the ground surrounded by the villagers, yowling in pain.
Zeke announced, “Everyone, listen to me! The three of them are the culprit of your torture all this while! They are manipulating everything in the dark, be it Village of Livestock or the illness your children are suffering from. Now it's the time for you to pay them back in their coins!”
