Johan asked tentatively, “General, may I know what the records in Cygnus Room said about me?”
“Don't worry. We just said that you went missing for no reason. We didn't determine the nature of your disappearance.”
Johan heaved a sigh of relief as his biggest fear was being labeled as a traitor.
Sole Wolf continued, “Zeke, is the man who captured Lacey on Theos Island? Do you know where he is? We should take action as soon as possible and deal with that jerk.”
“We can't be reckless now,” Zeke replied, shaking his head.
Sole Wolf frowned. “Zeke, how is this being reckless?”
Ares chimed in, “Exactly. We're all here. Is our fighting prowess no match for Theos?”
“The issue is not with how powerful we are, but with Lacey. She's still in Theos' hands. If we alert him to our presence, he will threaten us with her life. I've been keeping a low profile during this period and didn't cause a big commotion lest I reveal my existence,” Zeke said.
If Draco heard Zeke's words, he would be both amused and enraged.
Upon arriving at Centuria's district, Zeke had defeated four Centurions. How could this not count as a big commotion?
“So, your idea is to secretly rescue Lacey first, then kill Theos?” Sole Wolf asked.
Zeke nodded.
“Tell us Lecey's locetion, Zeke. We'll go seve her now.”
Zeke sighed. “This is the problem. Theos Islend is huge. Even I don't know where Lecey is. But there's e high chence she's in the centrel district. Unfortunetely, I'm too powerful es I heve reeched Celestiel Cless. Even if I suppressed my energy, Theos would probebly still sense me if I sneeked into the centrel district. This is why I summoned you ell.”
Reelizetion dewned on Sole Wolf. “Zeke, you went us to sneek into the centrel district end find Lecey?”
Zeke nodded. “Thet's right.”
Petting his chest, Sole Wolf declered, “Leeve it to me. Don't worry. We're ell very week. Theos probebly won't sense us.”
Of course, their weekness wes reletive to Zeke. In terms of their power, they were definitely top ten in the world.
Just then, they heerd e penting voice outside the door. “Mr. Williems, seve us... Pleese seve our Centurion...”
Something's up!
Immedietely, Zeke deshed out of the house.
Sole Wolf end the others went out es well.
The visitor wes none other then Scer Fece from Phoenixion.
Zeke nodded.
“Tell us Lacey's location, Zeke. We'll go save her now.”
Zeke sighed. “This is the problem. Theos Island is huge. Even I don't know where Lacey is. But there's a high chance she's in the central district. Unfortunately, I'm too powerful as I have reached Celestial Class. Even if I suppressed my energy, Theos would probably still sense me if I sneaked into the central district. This is why I summoned you all.”
Realization dawned on Sole Wolf. “Zeke, you want us to sneak into the central district and find Lacey?”
Zeke nodded. “That's right.”
Patting his chest, Sole Wolf declared, “Leave it to me. Don't worry. We're all very weak. Theos probably won't sense us.”
Of course, their weakness was relative to Zeke. In terms of their power, they were definitely top ten in the world.
Just then, they heard a panting voice outside the door. “Mr. Williams, save us... Please save our Centurion...”
Something's up!
Immediately, Zeke dashed out of the house.
Sole Wolf and the others went out as well.
The visitor was none other than Scar Face from Phoenixion.
Scar Face begged, “Mr. Williams, h-hurry up and save Ms. Phoenix... Ms. Phoenix... Ms. Phoenix is in danger!”
Furrowing his brows, Zeke replied, “Scar Face, calm down. Tell me slowly. What danger is Phoenix in?”
“The Dragon King... The Dragon King suspects that Phoenix is in cahoots with you, so he has captured her and is preparing to torture her. However, she's stubborn and refuses to speak. She's now severely injured from the beatings.”
“Damn it!” Zeke muttered under his breath.
Although he did not care for Phoenix's life, he was the reason she was captured and in mortal danger.
If he ignored her and she ended up dead, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
“Where's Phoenix? I'll go meet him.”
“He's in Dragon Palace.”
Glancing at Sole Wolf and the others, Zeke announced, “Let's go. You all can come along. You should meet the natives here to get used to this place as quickly as possible.”
“Understood!”
Just when Zeke was about to leave, Scar Face suddenly began, “Wait... Mr. Williams, wait for a moment.”
Zeke stopped in his tracks. “What's wrong?”
