Yazmin watched Erwen sew Zeke's clothes with jealousy. To think you are my best friend! You didn't even notice the big hole in my clothes! The tear in Mr. Williams is so small in comparison, but you fixed his clothes instead of mine!
You hiberdating brat!
Meanwhile, Sole Wolf ran at top speed all the way to Durbaine.
He slipped into Don's house unnoticed as if he were a ghost.
Don was completely unaware of Sole Wolf's arrival. He was praying in front of a portrait of the Great Marshal and muttering an apology.
Sole Wolf knew that Don had guessed Zeke's identity and realized that he was the Great Marshal, or else he wouldn't be regretting his actions in front of the Great Marshal's portrait.
Sole Wolf snorted, “Now you regret your actions. You should have known.”
Startled by the voice, Don turned around immediately.
Upon seeing Sole Wolf, he cried out loud and fell backward to the ground.
It's one of the Great Marshal's general! He must be powerful as well!
Don scurried over to Sole Wolf and knelt before him.
“I'm sorry for offending you, Sir. It's all my fault! I deserve to die!”
Voice trembling, he continued, “I am willing to die as punishment. I just hope that you will spare my family and the villagers. Please have mercy on them, please have mercy on them...”
Don thought Sole Wolf was there to kill him.
Sole Wolf replied coldly, “Zeke wouldn't bother to kill a nobody like you. Get up. I'm not here to kill you. I'm here on Zeke's orders to bring you somewhere.”
What?
Don stared at Sole Wolf confusedly.
He's not here to kill me? How can it be? I've offended the Great Marshal undoubtedly. How will the Great Marshal let me off without punishing me? Where does the Great Marshal want me to go to?
Don was baffled by the situation.
“Don't bother asking questions. Just follow me,” Sole Wolf said.
Okay! Okay!
Don followed Sole Wolf out of the house.
Halfway through the journey, Sole Wolf grabbed Don by the collar and lifted him up because he was annoyed by Don's slow speed. Then, he ran at top speed.
Don almost had a heart attack because Sole Wolf's running speed was faster than a driving car.
He felt like he might die if he accidentally bumped into something on the way.
After an hour's journey, they arrived at their destination.
The moment Sole Wolf stopped, Don turned away and vomited on the ground.
Rolling his eyes at Don, Sole Wolf muttered, “Useless man.”
After throwing up, Don felt slightly better.
When he glanced around, he saw Zeke.
Terrified, he knelt down in front of Zeke and pleaded, “I deserve to die! I shouldn't have offended you. I'm willing to die as punishment, but I beg you to have mercy on my family. I will take full responsibility for what I did. Please don't hurt my family, please...”
Sole Wolf scolded, “Get up! I told you that Zeke wouldn't be bothered to kill you. We brought you here because we need a favor from you.”
Don hurriedly replied, “I'm willing to do anything!”
“All right,” Sole Wolf muttered, “Let's begin, Zeke.”
Zeke nodded slightly and glanced at Andres.
After getting Zeke's hint, Andres took the antidote and gave it to Don. “Drink this.”
With trembling hands, Don took the antidote from Andres and said, “Great Marshal, can I do it in my own way? I don't want to die of poison. I'm scared of pain.”
Sole Wolf snapped, “Are you even listening to what I said? I told you that you are not even qualified enough for Zeke to kill you. This is an antidote. It can save you.”
“Don't worry, chief. It is safe for consumption,” Erwen explained patiently. “What we told you is true. You and your villagers have been controlled by trine worms. If you don't kill the trine worms in time, you will die. This antidote will kill the trine worms, thus freeing you from their control.”
