“Teddy was in cahoots with Sheldon and tried to burn me to death. He must be punished severely!” Zeke ordered.
What the hell?
Bertram jumped in shock. “Teddy was working with Sheldon and tried to burn you to death? My goodness... I knew Teddy was up to no good! Clement was the one who brought Teddy into the force, Great Marshal. I didn't want to accept Teddy because I knew he was up to no good, but Clement abused his authority and got him into the force anyway. Don't worry, Great Marshal. I promise I will thoroughly investigate Teddy! Hey, what are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and cuff him!”
With that, a few police officers quickly rushed forward and placed Teddy in handcuffs.
Teddy had actually regained consciousness at the time, but he pretended to be unconscious as he didn't have the courage to face Zeke.
“Someone give Jake a call! He's sending Sheldon to the hospital right now. Have him arrest Sheldon immediately!” Bertram continued.
Zeke waved at him. “No need to trouble yourself with Sheldon. I'll deal with him myself. Also, don't tell Sheldon about my identity as Great Marshal.”
Bertram nodded profusely. “Right, understood!”
Zeke then turned toward Sole Wolf and ordered, “Let's head back, Sole Wolf.”
Sole Wolf turned around and yelled, “We're heading back, everyone!”
The Northern Wolf unit then left the area with Zeke and Sole Wolf.
Bertram stretched his back and breathed a sigh of relief as he glanced at the fire at the scene.
This fire isn't a disaster. It's a blessing in disguise! Now that I have gained Great Marshal's recognition, I'll be able to carry out my grand scheme without worry! Everyone thinks I'm a fool, but they don't know the burden I bear on my shoulders.
“Where are we going now, Zeke?” Sole Wolf inquired along the way.
“How are things with Rhett?” Zeke asked.
“Cygnus Room has taken him in. He's still in critical condition right now,” Sole Wolf replied.
“Let's go pay Rhett a visit, then. He can still be of use to us as long as he's still alive,” Zeke said.
“Understood!”
Sole Wolf then changed their course and sped toward Cygnus Room's direction.
“Have Northern Wolf return to base for now. We won't be needing them for the time being. We'll summon them when we need them again. It'll be too high-profile having them follow us around like this,” Zeke added.
“Answer me this, Zeke. If you happen to run into members of Kush Clan, how high would you say your chances are of winning?” Sole Wolf asked worriedly.
Zeke let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead. “The Kush Clan's members aren't equal in strength. Some of them are strong, and some of them are weak. I don't know if they use the same classification system as ours. You know, with the Archduke Class, King Class, Ultimate Class, and Celestial Class. We know far too little about them, but there is one thing that I am sure of. King, the person that backs Sheldon up, is no match for me. I've injured him severely.”
Sole Wolf got excited when he heard that. “Oh? How did you manage to injure him severely, Zeke? I thought you said you haven't found an effective way to hurt those from Kush Clan? Since ordinary energy attacks are useless against them, the only way is to materialize our energy physically and crush them to death!”
“Fortuna is capable of injuring them severely,” Zeke replied.
Sole Wolf smacked himself on the forehead. “Oh, right! I can't believe I forgot about Fortuna! Fortuna is the manifestation of the faith energy from all of Eurasia, so it is capable of interfering with a person's consciousness! It's unfortunate that you're the only person capable of using Fortuna. We can't do anything against Kush Clan.”
“I don't think Fortuna is the only way to hurt them. There must be plenty of other ways for us to cause damage to Kush Clan. We probably just haven't discovered those methods yet. Oh, by the way, I want you to contact Cygnus Room and have them assemble a team of researchers. Their job will be to conduct research on Kush Clan and find out the most effective attack against them,” Zeke said.
